Change your advertisements at
least every other issue of the paper
Don't wait until the last minute
but decide before just what you
are going to especially bring to the
attention of the buying public.
Get your copy to the newspaper
two or three days before the date
of publication, and if you are u.s.
ing a daily paper, give them several
advertisements in advance so that
the printer will not be rushed and
can give you good set-up.
A small advertisement run often
is more effective than large one
run occasionally. 1t is well to use
liberal amount of space when
you can, but it is eternally keep
ing at it that does the business.
If you will give this subject of
newspaper advertising some real
thought, you will begin to find
pleasure in writing your store
news. You will get real fun out of
planning the campaign and the
work of preparing the copy. You
will also enjoy watching and meas
urjng the results of your advertis-
ing.
Read the magazine advertising
of the big national advertisers and
catch some of the spirit of real adj
vertising. The largest mercantile
establishments in the world have
been built by advertising OF. the
careful, painstaking, stick-to-it
type.
If you are using the same kind of
advertising in the newspaper that
you used ten years ago, or that 9th
ers used at that period, you are be
hind the times. You must talk to
your customers in different man
ner. Give them straightforward
shoulder jabs-s stir them, rouse
them, tell them something

1t pays to advertise if you know
how. If you don't know how
learn. 1t is an important to know
how to advertise as it is to know
how to buy goods at the right
prices, for you must sell these goods
in time and at a profit Are you
one of the merchants who pay
much attention to buying, and lit
tie in getting these purchases be
fore the public? Both are of equal
importance.
Remember that your local news
paper is your best medium. The
souvenir that you give away, the
circular you send out, both have
their places the newspaper is
a great salesman, busy all the time

it talk for you.
