Young people should reqaire the
habit of correct speaking and writing,
and abandon as early as possible any
use of slang words and phrases. The

acquisition of language. be passed in

language which you read, instead of
the slang You hear to form q taste in

way. at the least expense, and they
are therefore the best of all mediums
for stores. In newspaper You follow
the lines Of least resistance fol-
low with the stream-you talk to an
audience already assembled, to the
people who want to read-thejr men,
tai cosmos is right-they are on your
wire, and they won't ring off If You
hold their interest. Attraction is the
basis Of all advertising the store is
the sun, the customers the planets
that revolve around 1t.
