From personal observation we have
found the automobile to be n desirable

who has ever driven CAR knows 1t

not the thing to be owned by one who

a lesson from the Williamson-Hal-
sell-Frazier company There is not a
woman IN this part OF Oklahoma who
does not use or has used either New
Slate or Louis brands. Williamson
lialsell-Frazier do not care whether
you know their name or not but
they want you to know the brands
they carry Had this company not been
progressive and far sighted enough
to see that the only way to keep out
and kin out foreign competition was
10 advertise, Oklahoma City or
Dallas firms would no doubt be sell
ing more goods In Chickasha and
the names Of New State and Louis
brands would mean nothing 10 the
housekeepers Of this city.
There is not a business in Chicka-
sra but what can profit largely
through a well planned system Of adj
rertising and we viii gladly help
you plan that system and prepare
your copy. Buying advertising space
Is like buying a lot-you can put
a $4,000 house on it or a tumble
down shack.

The Why Of Advertising


When the advertising man OF this.
paper went to Mr.. Belts in regard
to advertising his brands Of goods
he did not look at it from the stand.
point Of competition but from the
only standpoint TO look at it-pub-
LEFTY We could never see why
man thought he had to advertise
simply because his competition ad.
yertised You do not advertise that
you have a competitor but that you
have the goods. and surely your
goods need advertising just as much
without a competitor as with one.
We knew an ice company in a
town The size OF Chickasha that re.
fused to advertise on the plea that
they had no competition A little
over a year ago the plant changed
owners and fell into the hands OF
progressive people who advertised
extensively and last summer the new
firm did nearly twice the business
Of the old firm, yet the population Of
the town had increased but little.
