81 Per Cent Of Failures NOn-Ad-
verusers, Says Bradslreet

Bradslreets says that ~ per cent
Of business failures are among non
advertisers
Which, considering the source of
the declaration Is pretty conclusive
proof that advertising pays.
When Bradstreet's says that only
10 per cent Of business failures are
among advertisers this statement
has real significance.
No business firm ever became tru-
ly great except by the aid of adver-
tisingl
Like competition, advertising Is
the life Of trade" without Il, In
modern days and under modern bus
mess conditions, no commercial or
other business concern can achieve
the success that II can with II,
That is axiomatic, as every SUE
cessful business man will attest.
Outside, possibly, Of personality
and integrity, advertising IS the
mirhtiesl force, positive and potent
In present day commerce and bus

THRIFT STAMP CAMPAIGN
~ OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

Back Of all the work Of the cam
paign for war savings, being con-
Quoted throughout New Mexico and
the United States, is the desire to
convert u spendthrift nation into a
nation OF thrift and saving. The
workers engaged In this campaign
are. therefore, performing not only
n patriotic duty but are sowing
seeds Of thrift that In years 10 come
will yield a golden harvest.
The average business man Is
much inclined 10 undcr-value the
penny. and even the twenty -nve-
cent piece. II is the big things that
appeal more strongly 10 all. To sell
a 25-cent thrift stamp seems small.
but that the results are Of vital
Importance is evidenced by a report
issued by the War department In
regard 10 what may be purchased
by the proceeds from the sale Of
thrift aud war savings stamps. as
follows:
"A single thrift stamps cents

pins, a waist belt or hat cord. shoe

socks, three pairs summer drawers,
summer undershirts: twelve thrift
stamps will buy a steel helmet 10

one war savings stamp will buy 100
cartridges: another will buy a car
fridge belt, a scabbard for a bay
onet; four war savings stamps will
buy a rifle for some soldier at the

crty: three and one-half war saw
ings stamps will buy three pairs of
wooden blankets for the comfort Of
