dustries-"8elieve in" Advertising
The Neiburg Manufacturing Com.
pahy of West Point is one infant in
dustry of northern Nebraska to take
step overlooked by too many manu-
featuring industries just starting out,
but highly essential to the ultimate
success of any institution whose pro.
ducts must be sold to the public.
This important step is the employ.
ing of an expert advertising writer
and manager. The Neiburg Manufac.
turing company has secured the SER
vices of r. A. Turner, an expert.
besides writing and handling the com
panys advertising, will also have

Too many business institutions to.
day fail to realize the Importance
played in success by scientific and
judicious advertising, The result is
that the institution which starts out
with no reckoning Of this essential
| factor, soon dies natural death. The
other the one that advertises in the
right way, grows and thrives. The
one dies declaring that the public
doesn't appreciate 1t. The other makes
the public appreciate it by the only
known method-first delivering the
goods, and second, creating a demand
through newspaper publicity of a
truthful sort.
Whenever you hear of business
that has failed because the public
failed to appreciate it." you may bank
upon it that firm didn't believe in
advertising"
1t is no longer a question as to
whether a firm "can afford to adver-
tise." The question today is, "can
you survive without advertlsng?"
And the failures strewn along the
way pretty well answer that question.
| Too many young manufacturing
! industries seem to believe that if they
can only get a retailer to handle their
goods, success will come and perch
upon their shoulders. They overlook
the consumer. They forget the public.
They don't stop to think that the real
demand must come from the con-
sumner.
Let the consumer demand a certain
article, and the retailer must handle
it. Judicious and persistent advertis-
ing on the part of the manufacturer
makes him Independent of the re-
taller.
This is an advertising age. News
paper advertising has had wonder
full growth in the last few years. More
and more it is coming to be positive
necessity to success.

business. Now there's some hope.
