WHAT IS ApvERrlsIHea

"HNt ~.
81 don't believe in Advertising"
some merchants say when they are
asked to tell people about their
goods in the columns of the local
paper. They think they mean 1t.
But do theyf What is advertisingt
So far as the retail dealer is con
cerned, advertising is anything be
saws or does to help in the sale of
his goOdS, apart from has direct yer

kinds displayed around the store
What is their purpOse' To help in
the sale of the stores goods. Ad-
vertising' Nothing else.
And why this atmosphere Of ser
vice. these evidences Of cleanliness,
these courteous clerks, and other
things that make people Ike to trade
in the storef Is it possible that
they all have an advertising pur-
poser The truth is that every
man who sells a dollars worth OF
goods is an advertiser whether he
knows it or not.
The man who says he doesn't
believe in advertising doesn't know
what he is talking about. If he
really believed what he says, he
would tear down his sign, board up
his windows, cover up his shelves,
make kindling out of his store fix
lures, and do business with intend
ing customers through hole in the
wall.
Newspaper advertising is only one
form of advertising; all forms are
good, and they all work together
to one end: the sale of goods.
The merchant who is looking to-
ward the largest success can nc
more do without his sign, his store
windows, his display of goods, his
service, his courteous clerks, his
reputation, and the thousand and
one other things that go to make
up advertising.
Newspaper advertising is a mod
ern necessity, and the merchant
who refuses to limit his business
horizon doesn't try to fool himself
by thinking that he can get along

 the Irishu1en in New York and vicin- ity turned out to welcome the Sham rock and the Erin, and not a few 1oy- al Americans of Hberntan discent were torn by conflicting emotions gen
