The Time to Advertise.

There's nothing on earth so misteri-
ously funny as an advertisement. The
prime, first and last, and all-thetime
object of an advertisement is to draw
custom. 1t is not and never will be,
designed for any other purpose. So the
merchant waits till the busy season
comes and his store is so full of custo-
mers that he can't get his hat off, and
then he rushes to his printer and goes in
for advertising. When the dull season
gets along and there is no trade and he
wants to sell. his goods so bad he can't
pay his rent, he stops advertising. That
is, some do, but occasionally level
headed merchant does more of it, and
scoops in all the business, while his
neighbors are struggling to make ends
meet. There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying every
thing in the store it you planted can
non behind the door, and that's the time
when the advertisement is sent out on
it's holy mission. 1t makes light work
for advertising, for a chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was needed,
and half-holiday six days in week.
Advertisements are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out during dull
days, when customer has to be knock
ed down with hard facts, and kicked in
sensible with bankrupt reductions, and
dragged in with irresistible slaughter Of
prices, before he will spend cent.
| That's the end and aim Of advertising
and If ever you open store, don't try to
get them to come when they are already
sticking out Of the windows, but give.
| them your advertisement right between
the eyes during dull season, and you
will wax rich and own fast horse and
perhaps be able to smoke cigar once
or twice year. Write this down where
you'll fall all over it every day. The
time to draw business is when you want
business, and not when you have more
business than you can tend to already. -
