Have you ever considered the
logic of our system of adVertis-
ing? If not, you should. If
there were only one person in
this community whose trade we
wanted we could make per-
sonaI call. But there are thous-
ands who have never been in
this store whose trade we want.
We resort therefore to sales
manship on paper. If you call
at the store you will find we
talk over the counters the same
way-indiVidua.Iy, directly, and
persistentIy explaining the ad-
vantages Of trading at this store.
We will not presume on your
sense of business or knowledge
of buying and selling by telling
you that nothing like this was
ever heard of or that we are
selling without profit, but after
you have looked around and
seen our lines, and learned pric-
es, and see the difference in
what we ask, you may ask your
seli-can there be any profit?
