q It certainly looks as if something beyond an ord-

to turn up pretty quick to prevent the Fall of 9O8
from being record breaker in practically all lines Of
business
q At least this is the condition as The Evening
Journal gets it from all sources.
Q The wide-awake business man realizes that in
order to get his share of the increased business he
must be on the ground with an organized hustling
sales force backed up by the best quality Of manu-
factured goods and judicious advertising campaign
q We say to the merchants of Wilmington-"Get in
line and back up your sales department with an in
tellgent advertising campaign" Send for The

campaign which we will guarantee to bring results.
