IHE BETTER IHE SIOhE IHG BEL
TER THE ADVERTISING PAYS. Your
own observations in the store-world will
confirm this truth.
PUBLICITY is bad only for a bad pro
position 1t is just as surely good for good
one.
What is "good store'q One that really
SERVES THE PUBLIC, protecting its pa
irons as to VALUES, not merely as to
PRICES,
There are many stores in this city an
swering to that definition completely. In
every city there are always some stores that
do not.
An important phase of a GOOD STORES
SERVICE TO IT'S PATRONS is it's news
paper advertising. This should be complete,
frank, informing. 1t should tell the store
news as fully as a good newspaper tells the
news of the day.
Perhaps the best possible NEW POLICY
for the GOOD stores of this city to adopt
would be that of DOUBLING THE AID
VERTISING SPACE THAT THEY USE
thus giving them "elbow room" giving
them bigger opportunities for telling their
patrons, in detail, about every selling event,
about every bargain offering, about every
dollars worth of new stocks. Of course,
even HALF ENOUGH ADVERTISING
pays the really good storc;"~ bit ADE-
OuATE ADVERTISING would pay much
