Advertising isn't a crucible with
"nich lazy higoted and incapable mer-

The gutter can't survive where the

Advertising doesn't take the place
OF business talent or business man
agement. II simply tells what bust
ness is and how it is managed. The

man who knows he must build for
himself.
What makes you think that You are
entitled to prosper as well as a COM
petitor who works twice as hard for
his prosperity?
Why should as many people deal at
your store as patronize a shop that
makes an endeavor to get their trade
and shows them that It is worth while
to come to its doors?
Why should a newspaper send as
many customers to you In half the
time 1t took to fill an establishment
which advertised twice as long and
paid t--iee as much for it's publicity?
This is the day when the best man

You Must Irrlgate Your Neigh
borhood.

Half a century ago there were ten
million acres OF land, within half a
thousand miles OF Omaha, upon which
not even a blade of grass would grow.
Today upon these very deserts are
wonderful orchards and tremendous
wheatfields. The soil Itself was full
of possibilities. What the land needed
was water. In time there came farm
ers who knew that they could not ex-
pect the streams to come TO them, and
SO they dug bitches and led the water
to their properties from the surround
ing rivers and lakes; they titled the
earth with their brains as we'll as their
pIows-they became rich through irrI-
cation.
Advertising has made thousands OF
men rich, because they recognized the
possibilities of utilizing the newspa-
pers to bring streams OF buyers into
neighborhoods that could be made
busy locations by irrigation-by draw
Ina people from other sections.
The successful retailer is the man
who keeps the stream OF purchasers
coming his way. II isn't the spot itself
that makes the store pay-its the
man who makes the spot pay. Centers
of trade are not selected by the public
they are created by the force which
controls the public-the newspapers.
New neighborhoods for business are
being constantly built up by men who
have located themselves in streets
which they have changed from de-
serted byways into teeming. jostling
thoroughfares. through advertising irri-
cation.
The storekeeper who vhines that
his neiehborhood holds him back is
squirting at the truth-he 10 hurting
the nelshborhood.
II # lacks streams Of buyers, he can
easily enough secure them by reach
ing out through the columns OF the
naper and inducing people from other
sections TO come 70 him. Every time
he influences a customer Of a com
ne,itor he is not only irrigating bis
own field but Is diverting the streams

The circulation of every newspaper
Is nothing less than a reservoir of

as there Is brother merchant who

plish the mpossible-who takes les.
sons from the failures about him and
aVolds the methods which were their
downfall.
Inc Khottiest problems In trade are:
The problem Of location.

SCThe problem Of keeping the

EThe problem of minimizing fixed
expenses.
6-The problem Of creating a valua.
bic good will.
none OF these knots is going to be
united by fumbling fingers. They are
TOO complicated. They're all inextri-
cably involved-so twisted and en-
angled that they can't be solved sin.
siy-iike the Gordian knot, they must
be cut through at one stroke. And
you can't cut the knot with anything
but observation-disclosures:
IA store that Is constantly before
the people makes it's own nelahbor-
hood.
2-crowds can be brought from any.
where by persistent advertising.
@customers can always be held by
inducements.
+Fixed expenses can only be re.
duced by Increasing the volume Of
sales.
-Good will can only be created
through publicity.
Advertising is breeding new giants
every year and making them more
powerful every hour. Publicity is the
sustaining food of powerful store
and the only strengthening nourish-
ment for weak one. The retailer who
delays his entry into advertising must
pay the penalty Of his procrastination
by facing more giant competitors as
each month of opportunity slips by.
Personal ability as close purchaser
and as a clever seller doesn't count
for a hang, so long as other men are
equally well posted and wear the
sword Of publicity to boot. They are
able to tie your business into con-
stantly closer knots, while you cannot
retaliate because there is no knot
which their advertising cannot cut for
them.
Yesterday you lost a customer-to-
day they took one-tomorrow they'll
get another. You cannot cope with
their competition because you haven't
the weapon with which to oppose 1t.
You cannot unite your Gordian knot
because it can't be untled-you've got
to cut 1t.

SEEK REFUGE IN ENGLAND.
Sixty Thousand Belgian Refugees to
Make Homes in British Isles.

London.-Sixty thousand Belgian
refugees are expected to arrive in
England in the next ten days. The
British government extended on We'd
nesday a general invitation to all Bel
gians made homeless through the
war to come to England and the vol
unteer war refugees committee, or
ganized by the Duchess of Vendome,
has undertaken with government SUI
pervision, to receive and care for
these refugees.
Scotch and Welsh towns are espe-
cially anxious to entertain the Bel
gians and the committee believes 1t
can make provision for a million
refugees if necessary. Sanitary con
ditions and lack of food in the Bel
gian territory fought over and a prob.
able attack on Antwerp doubtless
will make it necessary for hundreds
of thousands of women and children
to leave that country.
