TNLESS you know person-uness that V person comes into your life i'll some way-you are not greatly concerned about whether he is good or bad, desirable or objec- tionabe. It's so with store. The people who never visit it care nothing about it one way or the other. It doesn't eXist-for them. But-when they are pursuaded to patronize it-when they come to turn the spotlight of their attention on it-when it comes to have a part i'll their lives, as some stores must have in all lives-then it's differentiation it DOES matter whether it strives to win confidence; 1t does matter whether or not its price con sessions are genuine, dependabte
 If it meets all tests that good store must stand when it is advertised-when it thus in- vites the critical attention of people-then advertising "makes" the store. If it fails ill most of the vital things-if it proves under the light of publicity, not to be much of store, then advertising will not pay-for it will emphasize shortcomings as we'll as merits.
