A western editor hits the nail
on the head when he says that
"too many merchants look upon
advertising as scheme to help |
the editor. With rural delivery
and department stores sending
out tons of advertising matter,
the country merchant must have
the goods and the prices, and he
must advertise or get run over IN
the march of civilization. His
rents are less, his help costs less
and he can compete with the city
retailer and pay his advertising,
too, and the time has come when
he absolutely has to do it. Coun-
try merchants are finding this
out and taking advantage OF it.
