An exchange %truthfully remarks
that Advertising is the life blood
business. Too many merchants
arr letting their business bleed to
death simply because they neglect
or refuse to tell the public what
they have for sale through the
medium of newspaper advertising.
Not so with the mail order houses
who are constantly flooding every
community with their cataloes
and other advertising matter.
Every dollar hat is sent from
Mobridge-and there are hundreds
of them-is sent in response to
advertising. The catalog houses
do not sit still and wait for the

spend thousands of do lars every
month advertising for trade. The
merchants in small towns can well
afford to adopt the advertising
method of securing business.
