lou no doubt wonder, Mr. Merchant, why you do not sell more
goods But ytu shouldn't, for it is n secret
If you are not selling the goods you think you should it is not
wholly because the people are not buying. 1t is because som other
fellow is getting the trade you ought to have, and that other fellow is
most likely the big mail order house
For positive proof of this assertion, just watch the parcels post
mail that comes to this postofice, and watch the carloads Of goods that
come in by freight or express-al from the big mail order houses.
The fact that the people of this community are your friends is no
reason why they will trade with you unless they are convinced that
merchant does. I
can get the most for it, and you al not keep them from doing SO
You probably are doing the m thing yourself.
Mail order houses and large city merchants advertise extensively
And the buyer invariably travels the road in which he has most con-
fidence.
He has been led by the mail order man and the city merchant
he gets that idea into his head you lose and they have got the trade
away from you.
You ca get much of this business back if you want to, but the
only way you car do it is to advertise, and keep O advertising. The
successful business "a of today keeps a watchful eye his COMPETE
or, and meets him half way.
A well written advertisement will eventually draw the people to
the advertiser. The advertising, however, should be done Systematically
and the copy should be attractvey prepared and frequently changed.
When people spend their own money they unqueshonably have a
right to buy when and where they please. 1t would therefore seem
the part of wisdom for the local dealer to convince the buyer that
home is the best place to trade, and this cal only be accomplished by
appealing to their reason through intelligent and persistent advertising
in their home paper.
We will cheeru1y assist you in preparing such copy at any time,
if you % desire. Are you ready for a chat?

How would you like to sit down at your desk, II your ac-

And how would you like to see these same good people paying
