WHEN TO ADVERTISE

the country, making no effort to better
his condition. To be progressive
business man at this day and age is to
be an advertiser, and the man who
does not go out and invite business
could not handle it if he had it be-
cause his stock is generally, as anti
quated as his business principles and
methods. So. in good seasons and in
bad, in hard times and in good times,
in fact, at all times and without inter
mission, if you have business that
is worthy of the name-boost it.
The man who hands out that ole
line of argument-"I've been here a
long time and everybody knows me
and what | sell, and if they want it
they'll come here any how" is always
to be found in a little place ha 5
been there for years"-with dust on
his stock, and people know him and
what he has and that may be one
reason his business is not better
they do know his stock.

Gallery nabitues missed many fa-
miliar faces, including those of former
Senators Root, Burton, Bristow and
Uncle Ike Stephenson; and those of
Representatives Payne, Calder, Bar
tholdt, Floyd OF Arkansas, Levy Of
New York, Palmer of Pennsylvania,
Donovan of Connecticut and Stanley
of Kentucky, now governor.
Among others commanding popular
attention were: Representative
schall of Minnesota, the only blind
member Of the house; Meyer London,
the sole Socialist. and representative
Martin Of Louisiana. a rogressive.
An avalanche of bills, resolutions
and petitions swamped both senate
and house clerks. There were thou
sands Of the bills, on every conceiv-
able legislative subject Especially
noticeable were those proposing vari-
GUS war measures. The government
printing office will be unable to
handle the landslide OF documents for
several days.
There was the usual scramble for
seats to view the opening. The gal
lery crush was terrific, An hour be-
fore the session opened, practically
every seat was filed. The doors open
el at 10 o'clock a. m, with
'ong lines of people waiting.
Admission on the house side was
by card only. Each member was
given two cards.
Fond mothers, wives and sweet
hearts Of members looked down as
the oath were administered. Femi-
nine finery and furs lent a touch of
color 60 the massed galleries. Women
spectators were in the majority. A
sprinkling of diplomats occupned their
specially reserved galleries. The white
house reserved sections were also oc-
cupied by members and guests Of the
presidents household Hundreds of
persons couldn't get in.
Senatorial dignity put a damper on
demonstrations in the senate. Flow
ers were sent to the desks of many.
The subdued hum of repressed ex-
cltement in the senate was in sharp
contrast to the clamor and tumult in
the house.
Tomorrow, real business will begin.
Committee assignments are practic-
ally completed and initial measures
drafted. First on the program is the
extension of the emergency war tax,
which expires December 81. This is
expected to be followed shortly by a
resolution extending present duties on
sugar, which is scheduled to go on the
free list next May.

By GEORGE E. ELLsWoRTH

You will probably say, If you read
this series of articles; "That fellow
is strong on boosting his own game
To certain extent that is true. We
do believe in boosting our own game,
but by so doing we must boost yours
also. otherwise our efforts would be
temporary, and while we might induce
you to enter the field as a live husi-
ness man, unless the medicine we
would administer to your rundown
business was a curative, or at least a
strong stimulant, we could not count
upon any permanent result so far as
our future was concerned. So we tell
you in all good faith that the very best
time for most lines of business to be
advertised is all the time.
When times are good and during the
season when everyone is buying, it is
the best policy to let the people know
that you have~what they want, that
You have price on it, then you can
render them such service as they can
not get anywhere SO advantageously
as at your place of business, and in
that way hold your own and acquire
some of the less progressive mer-
chants business. Keep the memory
of your personality, your store, your
fresh in the minds Of the trading
public. When business is good, make
it better by boosting, or the other fell
low who is alive to opportunity, may
make inroads into your trade and Sc
cure the patronage Of some Of your
customers.
So, in self-defense, and with spirit
Of aggressiveness, you should adver-
tise when business is good-not only
that it may remain good. but that it
may grow better. You can expand ac-
cording to the growth of your trade
and profit thereby, but if you deteri-
crate very long here is nothing
left. No business can remain at
, standstill, it must either advance or
retreat.
Also, when business is poor is a fine
time to advertise. There is nothing
so good for sick business as liberal
doses Of advertising taken at regular
intervals, as the patient needs it.
There is always certain amount Of
desirable trade to be had if proper
inducements are offered. There is no
such thing as an absolute stagnation
of business. Your people on the vari-
Gus pay rolls draw the same salaries
the year around. they live about in the
same way all the time, and the ordi-
nary workingman spends about all he
makes at home either for rent, grocer
les, clothing, shoes. etc, and he is al
ways in the market for the best place
to get them. Times being dull does
not permit of his ceasing to live, and
to live he must eat, buy wearing APP
parel. and have his recreation. Even
the farmer and the capitalist cannot
discontinue his expense totally at any
season-dull or busy-and so, as we
have stated already, there is always
business, and the man who goes after
it is usually the man who gets it, and
is busy while his non-progressive com
petitor smothers a nail keg and cusses
