AS Statesmen
By HOLLAND.

YOUR advertisement is
4 just as much a sales
man as any clerk you en-
ploy or as you are yourself.
But the salesman can talk

possible customer who enters
your store. The advertise

Let your advertisements
use the arguments that a
good salesman would use.
Let them talk frankly and
honestly about the quality Of
the goods and the price.
Don't let them say any more
or any less - than you
would want a clerk to say.
than you would say yourself.
There Is a demand for cheap
goods. The cheap, unpolish-
