HAVE FAITH IN ADVERTISING
Leading Cause Of Big Profits Made BY
Ma!l-Order Houses-ExampIef for
Country Merchants.

One of Chicago's big mail-order sup
ply houses cleared, in profits. in 1910
$1,000, 900. SO 1t will be seen that they
are not in business merely for the
accommodation of the public, but
listen:
How do these houses reach the
people?
Isn't 1t by advertising?
Yes, you will have to admit or ex-
pose your ignorance.
Country merchants will frankly
admit that this is the way 1t is done.
and yet. withhold their advertise
ments from the local paper. which
stands. between them and the mail
to talk to their customers in print day
in and day out through the magazines
and farm and family journals. and
never say a word in their own defense
or In support of their goods or prices
through their medium, the home pa
per- which is as eagerly read by their
customers as are the magazines car
rying the advertisements of the mail
order houses-continually
w hSh Souhlly uClShdhto WoAo dR
to the fact that every dollars worth
of goods sold by mail-order concerns
Is the direct result of continuous ad-
vertising. then take up the same meth
DDS. systematically and persistently.
they will soon be selling the goods
used by the people In their territory
and the M. o. concerns will be forced
to quit business for lack of support.
Country merchants have system Of
dropping in and out. usually with a
little "two-for-fve" ad., absent OF
prices. often descriptive Of goods out
Of season at cut prices" while the
mail-order concern will carry liberal
sized advertisement, prices and goods
reasonable; the journal carrying the
advertisement finds its way to the
homes Of the local mans customers
and is there compared with the adver-
tisement in the home paper. II any.
and right there the decision Is made OF
whom to buy. The NJ o. house has a
new and tempting offer every time
the journal Is received; but the home
merchant allows the home paper to
enter the same homes and his store
not represented only occasionally.
When business becomes dull the M.
o. house jumps into the journals with
larger and more attractive ads. than
at other times; when business gets
dull the home merchant drops out all
his ads. in the local paper. leaving 1t
all to the mail-order fellows and his
customers.
Not one man In ten in business in
small towns knows the value Of ad-
vertising. or how or when to do 1t,
and why-simply because they do not
give this most important matter any
attention. and just as long as they do
not, just so long will the mail-order
houses prosper and pile up their mil
lions in profits and sell their goods
right under the nose Of the retailer,
and 95 per cent. Of the latter go broke
annually.-H F. Broadbent. in the
McLouth (KanD Times.
