How Advertising
Reduces Your
Cost of Living
By JOHN P. FALL0N

Advertising is the means by
which merchants or mdnllfac-
turers may tell great mum
Der of people about the superior
quality of their goods, the de.
STABILITY OF their merchandise
and the reason it will be to
your advantage to patronize
them.
Advertising enables mer-
chants to bring hundreds and
thousands of customers to their
stores. 1t enables them to 10
a large volume of business at
minimum expense.
Advertising establishes the
confidence of the community,
makes new friends, keeps old
customers interested and brings
the news of the store right into
the customers home.
The merchant who adyertises
continuously appeals to all the
people in town, while the mer-
chant who does not advertise
sits within his door and waits
for the people to find him out
or accidentally drop in as they
are passing by.
Advertising is such a power
full selling force and business
builder that merchants who use
It are enabled to sell better
goods at the lowest prices. Read
the advertisements in THE
ARDMOREITE closely and con-
stantly every day for proof.
