Pays to Advertise
Newspaper Advertising is Not an Ex-

Investment.

r. B. Wallace, advertising manager of
the Payne Investment company, said to be
the largest colonization concern in, the
country, made so almost wholly by print
ers' ink, delivered an interesting address
at the noon luncheon of the Omaha Real
Estate exchange.
ITO advertise successfully" declared Mr..
Wallace, lone must have his mind on it
constantly; he must breathe it, he must
think it. In all cases, though, advertising
will not sell an article; it must be backed
up by good craftsmanship. The both go
hand in hand together and one cannot get
along without the other. Advertising is
not an expense, as some are inclined to
think, but it Is part of your investment.
When a man advertises he is capitalizing
