GETTING NEW TRADE AND
HOLDING OLD CUSTOMERS

A man goes into business
and wants trade. 1t is a first
question and an ever-abiding
one, "How shall l get it7" He
may, if he choose, sit down in
his office or behind his counter,
with arms folded, and wait for
it to come to him. And he will
wait. The old aphorism. "Alf
things come to him who waits"
does not apply in business.
The modern paraphrase of the
axiom is, An things come to
him zvho hnstles." Some men
look upon advertising as lux
ury. They look at it from the
point of cost and begrudge the
money they put into it. The
one and only true way is to
consider it as an auxiliary, re-
liable and necessary.
1t is not a meyeenary, but q
part of the bnsmess itself
AS it is true that he who de-
sires trade must seek for it. 50
it is equally true that the field
of advertising is the one in
which to find the desired Dearl
of success. ~: z
1t is not q Mxnry, bat q re-
eessity. 1t is not expensive,
since it more than pays its way,
when properly treated. Sue
cessful business men confess
their obligation to advertising.
The footsteps of successful
men may well be followed.
Those who would win trade
and hold it must adopt meth
DDS that have been tried and
proved.
Advertising is not an expert
ment, but q proved fact. Ads
placed in the Kennebec Journal
bring sure results; persisterce
will make you a winner. : M 1 /.
