One of the most prevalent miscon-
ceptions in the retail field is that adver-
Using is luxury that can be INDUCED
in by stores doing larger business.
Advertising is no more a luxury than
rent or taxes or electric light or steam
heat when intelligently and economical
" used. You don't consider your best
clerk an unnecessary expense because
he is a good salesman. Advertising is
the best salesman and the cheapest you

Someone has unearthed an inter
esting account Of three days SPUR
rel hunt held by Franklin county, Ohio
farmers in August 1922. The squirrels
had become a pest and the hunt was
made in self protection. The article
says, "The count as far as made reach
ed a total Of 10, $50 skins, but, as many
of the hunters failed to report the num-
Der shot by them, the total was no
doubt greatly in excess of that. Still
this number, great as it was, would not
in itself have had any great effect on
the damage done by the squirrels But
the pioneers tell of great migrations
by the squirrels following the raid.
The little animals moved like ants. in
countless droves, going straight ahead
and turning aside for no obstacle.
They went over precipiees and swan
rivers in their persistent course. They
seemed to be in command Of some
member and obeyed without fear OF
their ordinary enemies.
