Swede is Big Merchant
Minnesota's Largest Privately

The biggest merchant in Minnesota

Some of the biggest stores are there
but not the merchant who has the

very few persons IN Minnesota know

One of the remarkable things about

he has carried page advertisement
about his store and the goods he sells
in each of the Luverne papers. At
intervals he doubles the space. A

a gathering of the best advertising
men in the country and gave them his
experience. He stated that fifteen
years ago be quit advertising for four
months and he noticed the difference
in his trade. Some of his customers
came to the store and told him to put
the ads back. They told him they did
not know what he had unless they
made trip to the store especially to
find out, and this they did not always
have time to do, neither did they have
the inclination to "go rubberiIg."
That made Mr.. Nelson study merchan.
dising from another angle and the
ads went back. IL have leaned
