! WORD PERSONAL TO OUR
READERS

This newspaper. in common with
the newspapers throughout the coun-
Try. maintains that vertising-which
is but another name for publicity
pays.
The question is to ascertain that
fact-to make it so plain that he
who runs may read"
Mr.. Marcus Frank. one OF the mer-
chants of Ocala, and one of the most
enterprising and progressive. believes
in the theory of advertising, and has
paid out many of his good dollars in
support of his faith.
He now wants to put his theory
into practice He wants to make a
test case of it, He wants an ocular
ADMINISTRATIONS substantial peg. so
to speak, on which TO hang his faith.
Mr.. Frank has been a persistent ad-
yertiser ever since he embarked as
a merchant in our city. He has adj
vertised his wares and his prices
81 have lived amongst you" he
says, for nine years. and expect to
live amongst you for many years to
come. I have been a persistent adj
vertiser, and want to find out if adj
yertising pays"
He then goes on to say that his
methods have been honest. That he
! Sives personal attention to all com
plants and feels certain that he has
not a dissatisfied customer.
Now, how does Mr.. Frank propose
TO make a test case?
He is going to put on the lowest
priced sale in the history Of his bus
mess, and in order to take advantage
of The greatly cut prices, he wants ev
cry customer to bring a copy of the
advertisement along with him In this
way only can the goods he is offering
=r the sale be obtained.
People are very forgeuul-men es
ppcially-and as they grow Older
