Don't suffer from ego. You may think that everybody in town knows where you are located and what you have to offer. Don't make this grievous mistake.
 The public is tickle. The public is forgetfuI. It needs to be continually reminded where you are and what you are doing. If you don't let it know through the columns of a newspaper 1t soon will transfer its trade.
 Don't think your busi- ness so we'll estab- Eshed" it doesn't need advertising. New York's biggest bank seeks ad- vertising. 1t probably IS as well established" as most enterprises.

If business IS a bit poor don't cry that the country Is going to the bowwows. Things will come out all right. When business life is at a low ebb newspaper advertising will help sus- tain 1t. When the imam cial and business de- pression was at its height a Pacific coast merchant spent $l00,000 in a newspaper ad. campaign. The results more than lustlhed hls optimism.
 The Wall street maxim IS, Buy when everybody is selling; sell when everybody Is buy ing. If one wants to buy or sell anything he consults the newspapers.
