ADVERTISING --,--s THE SALES

Advertising is not a product Of re-
cent years. 1t is a trait in human
n plItality as old as this earth has
years to record mans history
Mans best efforts owe their exist
ence to advertising. A wonder pic
ture is produced by an artist. No
one knows it exists until it is shown
in Q gallery, written about in news
papers and talked of in home cir
cues. Advertising proclaims its
worth and the picture lives because
i: $ known and approved.
An author racks his brain and
spends sleepless nights to write a
book. Newspapers, magazines. bill
boards, book stores carry announce
ments before the volume has fairl, !,
left the presses. Advertising makes
the sales.
il is the same with an invention,
"a new fashion, play, person.
Nothing can be known outside of a
small circle unless it be advertised.
To make known is to advertise, TO
tell by printed type or word of mouth
the merit of something. Business
thriyes, as hungry child, on the
cold but expressive type of the print
ers stick
If man has something of merit
and tells OF it judiciously the world
Will make beaten path to that
mans door or else swamp him with
mail matter.
The public has an Unsuitable curl
cs'ty to learn of the unusual, TO find
i bargain. Satisfaction is gained in
ad sertising display What the pub
lie wants it usually gets, sooner or
something to give and advertises the
fact rides first class to prosperity.

YOUR HOME TOWN

He started in school and he failed
from then on,
And continued to fail to the end,
But people remembered long after
he'd gone,
At time when he needed a friend !;
They gave him the laugh at whatever
he tried
And predicted he couldn't make
good.
But when he succeeded, then every
one cried:
Just as | said that he would"
The think that he tried in the town
whence he came
Made a hit in the place where he
went,
And the people back home made q
place for his name,
Though before it was not worth a
cent;
The people back home never thought
he was bright,
Till he went somewhere else to
make good;
But after he did it. they knew he was
right
He did what they figured he would
