oFTENER BECAUsE YOU HAVE NO ADVERTISING
BILLS TO A THAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE

Many a business man has been surprised to find that his
biggest advertising bills were the easiest ones to pay.
This is always true, assuming that they are contracted IN
buying advertising space in the best newspaper medium IN
his field. 1t would, of course, never be true if poor Judgment
were used in the planning and executing OF the advertising
campaign.
In the cases of prosperous merchants 1t always happens
hat big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, to-
gether, out of The same publicity campaigns. Non-prosperous
nerchants-and half prosperous ones-may prove the truth Of
this matter in a practical way, and in their own experiences.
We are accustomed to seeing BIG STORES filled with
customers all the time-the direct result of BIG ADVERTIS
ING EXPENDITURES. But we do not so often see the
small stores and shops crowded. Too many of them are con-
tent to get the overflow patronage, the "happenedin' peo-
pie, the people who go to the nearest place
newspaper space, are doubled this year will find its sales and
profits correspondingly Increased. Even a small increase of
expenditure, in the right direction, for publicity, will bring a
notable ouickening of store activity, store profits.
Effective, adequate advertising not only pays for itself
1t pays Tor increased equipment and all that zoe with
a bigger tor and growing store -needs.
