False Business Economy.

In business there Is sometimes a
cIoseness which goes by the name
OF economy. but which in its pract:-
cal workings is nothing but extrava-
gence. To spend dollar fo- a ct.:-
tain purpose and get nothing In re-
turn means a dollar wasted. bEc tue
dollars spent for the same purpose
bringing in many dollars as re-
turn Is economy and also wealth.
How often this truth Is seen ad-
vertising. One merchant gruds:' e!y
spends but a few dollars year for
advertising his business because. &C
ne says. b. cant afford 70 pay
more. and naturally he get but poor
returns. Another merchant advertis~s
literally and judiciously and as,
result bis business grows apace. The
one merchant shows false economy
with the inevitable result. the oth.r
shows true economy because 1t pn:s
money in his pocket.
No one realizes the truth OF all
this more than the great money order
houses. Each OF them spends yearly
kings ransom in advertising be-
cause experience tells them II pays.
Many j retail merchant could With
profit follow their example by pro
portionate expenditure for the same
object They, 100. would find it pay.
