The merchants Of Hickman who
do not believe in advertising
take notice to the pack
ages that come into our town ON
every mail. How do these people
ge- this tradef By advertising. It
will bring results to you as 1t
does to the other people. And
still some turn black in the face
when they see the people trading
with the mail order houses. We
would like to see this town get
all the trade that is coming to it,
but how can we expect 1t, when
we fold our arms, while our
neighboring towns and the mail
order houses are making the peo-
pie at our very door set and take
notice of the things they have to
offer them A few regular adver-
tisers cannot keep some money
from leaving town, but they keep
a lot Of it, from going, and we've
noticed, all things being equal,
that the regular advertiser does
the big end Of the business IN
his line. He not only tells folks
what he has to offer them and
the price, but he can generally
be relied upon as having newer,
fresher and more desirable goods
than the tight-wad merchant and
the moss-covered store.
