LAME DUCKS IN BUSINESS
intelligence and Foresight In Ad-
Vertlsing Their Goods.

An exchange discussing advertising
has this to say about the lame ducks
in business The business man with
nothing to advertise must be out of
business. AS long as you are in bust
ness you have something to sell and
as long as you have something 70 sell
you have something to advertise"
The trouble with the average bust
ness man whose business is not suffl-
GENTLY large to Justify him in EN-
ploying thoroughly expert advertising
men is that he permits his stomach,
his crouch. the weather or some pure
ly external condition to really direct
his advertising campaign The big

II and where and how he will spend
It. Then he places his advertising in
the newspapers whether he has the
toothache or not and he doesn't stay
out of the papers on Monday because
it was cloudy when he came down
town in the morning.
There's an awful lot of money
wasted in advertising because the
men who pay the bills do not adver-
tise Systematically and do not use the
same intelligence and foresight in
their advertising chat they use in buy
ing goods or selecting a location for
their store
