KEEP FVfRLAST-

The Best Posi- ibIe Advice For the
Merchant To Follow In
Advertising

An advertising expert writing in the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes as follows
on the practice many merchants have
OF advertising only in the rush sea.
sons and cutting out their ads in the
ordinarily dull times:
Probably half the money that is
spent by merchants for advertising or
in any other way is paid out during a
few months of the year when the stor-
es are busiest. Quite likely if there
were no advertising done at all these
months would be the busiest months
of the year anyway. But most mer-
chants seem to feel that when business
is good is the only time they can afford
to advertise. When business is dull
and the merchant feels that he must
cut down expenses, he usually starts
in by cutting down his advertising.
He loses sight of what advertising
really is and what it can do for Kim.
He seems to forget that advertising
has the power to change his dull
empty store into scene Of bustling
activity. Yet when customers are
scarce and receipts are slender nine
merchants out of ten will thought
lessly cut off the one source upon
which they should depend to supply
the much desired trade. If the ad-
vertising is to be cut down at all, it
would seem the wisest policy to spend
the least when business is best and
spend the most money for adver-
tising in the so-called dull months,
when the results which always follow
good advertising would help to keep
the store busy and the business up to
the normal condition. | don't believe
any advertiser ever cut off his adver-
tising without cutting off his business
at the same time.
