Keeping the
Wheels Going


According to a statement
recently issued, the business
of dry goods and depart
ment stores of the United
States amounts of $2,094,-
$3.50 yearly.
Millions of dollars are
spent annually to advertise
these stores.
More than 100000
women shop daily, 800, it
is assumed, being taken to
the stores through the pow
erful influences of adver-
Using.
If every store in the
United States suddenly
stopped advertising-stop-
ped for a year-what would
happen?
Business would take a
colossal slump.
Many stores would run
along under their own mo-
mentum for months and
them come to a standstill.
Others would come to a
speedy stop-would be out
of business in a few weeks.
All of which signifies
that advertising is the pow
er that gives life and en-
ergy to business.
You must advertise to do
business. And to make that
business thrive, Mr.. Mer-
chant, you must keep on
advertising.
Occasional advertising
will not keep the wheels of
business running.

Instead of pencil use a coarse darn

The full moon especially irritates the

his nose remains unsatisfed.
Therefore when you tie a dog during

Snakes have no external ears. hut

hear, however, by feeling vibrations of
sound on their delicate scaly covering

of microscopic nerves. Their sight is
very keen in distinguishing moving
objects.
