The next fall the suits were still so

with the last cry Of fashion, but she
felt that she looked well and long

Points on
Advertising
By HERBERT KAUFMAN

How Alexander United the Knot.

Alexander the Great was being
shown the Gordian Knot. 1T can't be
united" they told him; every man
who tried TO do so failed"
But Alexander was not discouraged
because the rest had flunked. He sim
ply realized that he would have to go
at It in a different way. And instead
Of wasting time with his fingers, he
drew his sword and slaShed 1t apart.
Every day a great business general
Is shown some knot which has proved
too much for his competitors. and he
succeeds because he finds way to cut
IT, The fumbler has no show so long
as there is q brother merchant who
doesn't waste time trying to accom-
plish the mpossible-who takes les
sons from the failures about him and
avoids the methods which were their
downfall
The knottiest problems in trade are
Tho problem Of location.
2-The problem Of getting the
crowds.
s-The problem Of keeping the
crowds.
4EThe problem of minimizing fixed
expenses.
5-The problem of creating a vaIua'
BILE good will.
None of these knots is going to be
united by fumbllng fingers. They are
too complicated. They're all ineXtri-
cably involved-so twisted and en-
tangled that they can't be solved sin
gly-like the Gordian knot, they must
be cut through at one stroke. And
you can't cut the knot with anything
but advertising-because:
IA store that is constantly before
the people makes its own nelghbor'
hood.
2-Crowds can be brought from any.
where by persistent advertising.
3-customers can always be held BY
Inducements.
4EFixed expenses can only be re-
duced by increasing the volume OF
sales.
5-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 a 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 hang, so long as other men are
equally we'll posted and wear the
sword OF publicity to boot. They are
able to tie your business into con-
stantly closer knots, while you cannoe
retaliate because there is no knot
which their advertising cannot cut for
them.
Yesterday you lost 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 1t can't be untied-you've got
TO cut It.
