A WORD TO THE STOREKEEPER"

Tine manufactures who tries to help you sell his goods after he has induced you to stock up on his line deserves your hearty cooperation.
 But it is up te you te decide whether the manufactures is ac- tually helping you or whether he only thinks he is.
 If he is creating a desire fer his product without creating an actual demand on your stere fer it, his help is of little value to you.
 The one big advantage of newspaper advertising is that it creates not only desire, but ac- tual demand. Most other medi- ums stop at desire.
 The best kind of advertising that manufacturer can do for your benefit is local newspaper advertising. Tell his saIesmen so next time they come around. Show them that you know by experience the value of news paper advertising, and that you want all the branded goods you handled advertised in d way that will bring customers to your store to ask for them.

Honolulu, May 81, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-The Advertiser, still rantins
about billboards, says that Honolulu
is different from other cities. AID
quotes from Life to show how we
are different. Life" says: Regulate
the biIlboards; regulate the signs;
give them fair show and no more.
1t is in the idea of a fair show
that the Advertiser claims Honolulu
is different. The Advertiser would
represent Honolulu as being against
any such thing as fair show, and
breaches the doctrine of suppression.
boycott and determination.
OF course the advertiser doesn't
know the first principles of fair
show" And when it wants to fasten
on Honolulu tine stigma that Honolulu
is city whose best people resort to
coercion and boycott, it really speaks
only for itself.
Life" is a publication that COM
ments candidly about anything 1t disa-
grees with. How mild is its purported
