BIG BUSINESS" IN SMALL TOWN

Ahe Small lONn merchant TOO OFTEN
is Of the opinion that it is impossible
for him to compete with the mail ord
er house in the big city," says ]. B.
Powell, instructor in advertising in the
university Of Missouri at Columbia.
This idea is wrong, according to Mr..
Powell, who says hat IL big business"
methods are adopted by small con-
Germs the annual profits will be as
large prop%ortionately as those Of
large mail order houses which send
out beautiful decorated catalogues.
Strict adherence to an accurate sys-
TEN of bookkeeping, competent clerks
store service and judicious advertis-
ing are some of the methods of big
business" Mr.. Powell urges. About
5 pear cent of the years gross sales
should be expended each year for ad-
vertising by the average business
man. For the small town merchant
the home newspaper is the best adver-
Using medium. Care in the writing
of advertisements should be one of the
most important parts of the " big
business" system, according to Mr..
Powell.
