Use Best Weapons.

Here is remedy for the dull
business season:
You need the best weapons when
the campaign is the most strenuous.
No general would think of partly or
entirely disarming his troops just
before the biggest battle is fought.
These same principles apply al
so to a business house. Some mer-
chants in order to curtail expenses
during the dull season of the year
begin by cutting down their adver-
Using expenses.
The newspaper is at all times
your weapon and best medium of
publicity, and when times are dull
est and competition strong your ap-
preparation ought to be increased
to meet these conditions. Advertis-
ing is not discontinued or decreased
because business is dull; but, bust
ness is dull because you are not ad-
vertising as much as you should.
Don't throw away your weapons
when the hardest battle remains to
be fought. Don't discontinue or de-
crease your advertising when hot
weather arrives.
AT no time of the year will adj
vertising space pay you better than
right now, if you advertise right.
Investigate circulation claims of
the papers you advertise in and make
sure. that for the amount of money
you are spending, you are reaching
the greatest possible number of peo-
pie, and then advertise persistentiy
and judiciously and solicit business
through the columns of a live news
paper as if you really wanted it, and
results will be certain"
