NO MORE DULL MONTHS
FOR WIDE awake STORES
Plenty Of Business at All Times For
Those Who 60 After Il.

Under the caption Dull Months Out
Of Style" the Kansas City Times says:
"A dull month? Not on your cash
register! Dull months are for dull
people, not for live ones.
IF you were a carpenter and your
saw was dull would, you say, I can't
work this month-my saw is dullF'
mot for one blessed minute!
YOU'D get up in the morning and
dle that saw before breakfast. You'd
put an edge or that saw that would
make it eat It's way through an oak
board like a ten-year-old boy through
q piece Of pumpkin pie. ...,
"The live merchant or manufactures
does exactly the same thing. The min
ute he sees the first faint sign of ap-
preaching dullness he sharpens up his
business tools and goes after more
business.
And he gets 1t too.
"He uses more advertising and bet
ter advertising. He uses better illus
t~rations and stronger copy. He plans
new campaigns while his competitors
sleep. He pulls every string. he does
not leave q single stone unturned.
1.-The man who expects trade to be
dull and is willing it should be dull
will have it dull.
."The man who leans back In his
chair and says, I'll take it easy now,
for this, month will be dull anyway
will get just what he's looking for.
TITS all in your mind. >
"This prattle about dull seasons Is
q mongrel theory, sired by mental
weakness, mothered by indifference
and nursed by the universal tendency
Of human nature to- fight shy OF work.
Suppose there are one or two OF
nve thousand people gone out OF towI
on their summe vacations. There are
more visitors than that that come into
town every day.
There is plenty of business to be
got If you only make up your MIND
to go after It. We can have what We
want in this world provided we're not
afraid to work and sweat and adver
tise.
"You can have dull months If you
want them, but you'll be out of date
