Samuel D. Lit, of the famous firm OF
Lit Brothers, in a recent interview,
declares that the success of any bust
ness, large or small, depends upon
continuous and persistent advertising
in the newspaper which reaches the
people.
In view of the fact that the Times
Recorder is a good advertising med
ium, reaching the homes of practically
every person in the trade territory
around Americas, we reproduce the
interview of this successful merchant
in full:
ITO my mind there has never been
any question that to good advertising
is to be credited one of the principal
reasons of any merchants real sue.
cess And by good advertising | do
not mean a mere matter of display Oh
beauty of 'get-up'-valuable as these
are in their way-but advertising the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth 1t is necessary that you
should let the people know what yol
have and then always to have what
you advertise The right goods at the
right time at the right prices is a
good motto for any store to i've UP to.
Shoppers do not always fully real
ize or appreciate the value of stores
advertisements or its purposes. TT
advertising columns are among the
great time and money savers of the
age-the 'mouthpiece, as it were, OF
the merchant, telling plainly and
briefly las they should) if the stores
special offerings, of the advantage it
has to offer. And always the adver-
Using is a matter of mutual helpful
ness for the consumer who most con-
scientiously, regularly and intelli
gently studies the columns OF a news
