GUARANTEE OF GOOD FAITH
Average Merchant Too ShreWd to
Make Measurements in Cold Type
of Advertising Columns.

Advertising is a guarantee of good
faith
Retail trade attracts a substantial
class of men who prefer to tell the
truth for its own sake, and would not
cheat their neighbors if they could.
OF course motives of self interest
also warn them to take pains to make
advertising accurate
Measurements produce disgruntled
customers who can make a lot OF
success very largely on its own towns
people.
II men of less responsible character
sometimes go into retail trade, usual
iy they are too shrewd to make mis-
statements In the cold publicity OF adj
vertising type
The public thus learns from expert
ence that local store advertising Is
trustworthy.
AS 1t deals with such subjects of
SURPRISING interest as cost OF living
and the fashions of the day, every
line of it is read with the most dis
eliminating attention.
People like to read and think about
shopping before visiting a store
A great many purchases are prac-
tically made from the newspaper be-
fore the buyer leaves home.
Furthermore. liberal advertising
tells the public that a merchant is
making good.
Lack OF 1t is interpreted as lack of
confidence in ones business.
The firm that does not advertise is
ciassed with the firm that seeks an
obscure location in some remote side
street, as TOO small to serve the pub
lie efficiently
When a firm advertis es freely. It
gives the idea that it has large
trade to pay the expenses of its pub
licity
A big breezy impression of achieve
ment is conveyed
Nothing succeeds like success.
Human nature is SUCH that to sue
coed. one must often give the impress
sion that he already has succeeded.
The public is slow to deal with
propositions that do not suggest sue
cessful efficiency
The man who has faith enough to
discount the future little to put his
earnings into his business. and by
liberal advertising give the impression
OF having a big trade already, is sure
TO get it if only his goods are right

If any business man, in New Year
resolutions, has declared for less adj
yertising, or perhaps entire discontin-
uation of the same, the greatest mis-
take OF his life has been entered upon
Existing conditions sometimes render
imperative a reduction of expenses
but the wise individual will do much
thinking and investigation before de-
Gliding upon making a cut in the ad-
vertising expense. The average buCi-
ness man expects to have more trade
in 1912 than came to him the preced-'
ing year but If he reckons on this
without aid of the advertising columns
Of the newspaper, disappointment and
regret is surely in store for him. In
order to increase business, there must
be reaching out not by hand bills
TO be lost or destroyed by atmospheric
conditions, not by show windows
through which comparatively few
look. but by constant, steady advertis-
ing IN the local paper. which is the
surest, safest and best medium for
acquiring trade and Tetaining it

The legislative department has
grown away from the people, as eX
emplified in Congress-" says the Ma
con News. Yet the representatives
are forced before the people every
two years for an endorsement by re-
election Who is to blame if they fail
in their duty and, as alleged, favor
special interests? Is it true that thu
people simply love to be fooled and to
honor the men who fool them? Or is
there a LOT of buncombe about this
talk of Congressman growing away
from the people?

These are the ways of one who walks

Sweet silent ways that lead toward
twilight skies,
Bees softly winglng when a low

Through the hills hollow, cool and

These are the ways that call one back

To old forgotten things in faded
years;
Swift on a moment of remembered
tears
They stand from out the dust where
they have lain.
Thse are the ways of life's simple Sc

Keen homely scents borne by each
haunted wind,
Here in the silence one may ever
find
That last strong peace whose name is
