Who Should Advertise
How TO Get the Good VIII of the Peo-
pie. an Essential Thing in Business.

Some people see no advantage in ad-
vertising. and do not advertise In
some places the banks do not adver-
tise, while in other places, New York,
for instance, they do great deal of
advertising. There is as much To be
gained 10y keeping a banks name al
ways before the people as in keeping
other lines OF business before the peo-
pie. The more familiar the people be-
come with n bank the more likely they
are TO do business with il and turn
business to IL that comes their way.
Lawyers are another class that in some
communities do not do much advertis-
ing. But it pays them TO advertise.
Often people call at this office to see
papers from other cities to find the
names Of business people, sometimes
banks and sometimes lawyers. A few
days ago a gentleman wanted TO know
about a Winchester bank, and came In
10 look at Winchester paper. He
found what he wanted and went away
happy.
The next day a gentleman came in To
see Roanoke paper. He wanted To
get the name correctly OF a well known
lawyer there and supposed, Of course,
he would find the lawyers card I'm the
paper He was very much surprised
to find that the lawyers name was not
in the paper, and he went away dis
guested.
In each OF these cases it would have
been worth something to those people
to advertise; probably in the one in.
stance enough TO pay for years adj
vertising. These papers, circulating
here and there all ever the country
would bring to the advertisers many q
dollar in the course OF time.
The rule is a safe one, that every
man who has business dealings with
other men, and who is seeking business
at their hands, can promote and in
crease his business by keeping hi.
