4 T is EASY FOR ANY ONE TO JUDGE
that the store with infrequent customers isl
: a more expensive place to patronize than the|
one that is agreeably busy, for it is an estab-
lished fact that advertising turns stocks" andI
turning stocks lowers selling prices.
In the less patronized stores, prices must bel
high to overcome the evaporation-the loss en- y
tailed by idle help, unused light and vacant
space.
The busy store utilizes all these elements
turns it's stock into money over and over again
during the year-and can afford to sell for less.
Advertising makes it possible for the small
dealer as we'll as the large dealer to lower his
prices Whether your store is on the ground
floor or on the second floor or in a large office
building you ought to advertise, because it will
positively pay you
No matter how small the advertisements are
two inches, three inches, four inches or even
larger-if they are properly displayed the puo-
lie will read them and respond.
Small advertisements merchandlsed
by competent store-keeper : are especially
alluring. They have great powers OF attraction.
If the advertiser is sncere--if he advertlses
something for which there is a general demand
and is determined to give each customer
SQUARE deal-he will transform doing clerks
into active statesmen.
Newspaper readers know that small stores
and exclusive shops are comfortable places in
which to trade
They know that they will receive prompt
attention. t''s
They know that an effort will be made to

Advertising is an agent of economy.
1t goes out into the highways and byways
and reveals the whereabouts of those who want
merchandise. It finds them and leads them
with their buying instinct aroused-to the store

The merchandise advertised is already half

It is then the duty of the merchant to take
these ready-to-buy customers and supply their
mercantile wants so far as it is within his ability
t0 do so.

and be sure that what they have bought will

Every merchant, to be successful, must do

possibly can. All that the average newspaper

The Press, however, does more than merely

OK months is a pretty long

Just six months ago, Kern left
Camp Greene, in North Carolina,
bound for France and the battle
line Of Democracy. The great
German offensive was gathering
its strength for the crucial blow,
and America and the Allies knew
it. Norman Kern knew it and so
did the rest of Uncle Sam's sol
diers, who were crying here in
camp, Let's go!" the phrase that
has become synonymous with
"Yanks" overseas.
A big contingent left the United
States at that time, and consid-
erable number of them found
themselves at Chateau Thierry in
time for that battle which placed
the United States Army firmly in
The hearts and admiration of the
Allied forces. Kern was among
them. A piece of shell got him on
July 18th, and his overseas serv.

Now he is back in America,
with one leg cut off just below the
knee and considerably thinner
than when he was learning how
at Camp Greene. The German Of
fensive-oh, we all know what
happened to that. and how the
world has changed for the Allies
since that date!
It was a big six months for the
world and for Norman Kern. Now
he's back to tell the country why
it was worth his leg to take part
in it. and to ask the people at
home to do their part of the job
by buying Liberty Bonds to
finance the fighting. He is tour
