Advertising Will
Bring Success

The merchant who fails to adver-
tise, and to advertise all the time, is
throwing away one of his greatest
possibility assets. In medium such
as Independent, no advertiser can fail
to be benefited, or to observe the ben
efits, if he will keep any kind of tab,
and in addition there are benefits
which he may not be able to observe.
Newspaper advertising is a legitimate
and necessary part of business. In
dependent has hundreds of dollars
year of advertising sent from as far
away as New York City. sent and paid
for at exactly the same rates We
charge the home merchant. on
chance. If it pays those people to
advertise. it should surely pay the
tradesman at home. whose business
interests are naturally more close to
and identical with the home buyers.
One of the biggest advertising firms
in the world says: I'VE owe our sue
cess to keeping everlastingly at it.
We advertise to the limit and never
think of quitting" The man who as
serts that advertising is not a benefit
is either mental business weakling
or else he is looking at expenditures
Of that class with selfish and
"squeezy" view. which is still worse.
Keeping persisently at 1t and you
will reap rewards. Advertising does
not pay when used once In a while.
