ADVERTISING IS
SAID NECESSARY
Frank Stockdale Addresses
Many Businessmen at His
Second Lecture

That advertising is essential to
success in retailing was emphasized
last night by Frank Stockdale, re-
failing expert, who delivered the
second of his series of three address
es in Fahnestock Hall. More than
100 Harrisburg merchants attended
the meeting, and more are expected
for the closing lecture tonight
Advertising must be handled
properly. said Mr.. Stockdale. and not
just inserted from force of habit or
because somebody else is doing it.
There's no point in it that way, but
proper display advertising is worth
incredible profits. One fault in mer-
camille advertising is the concen-
tration for Saturdays sales. If the
sales were kept scattered throughout
the week by we'll regulated adver-
tising, a much more efficient and
economical establishment would be
maintained,

merchant should observe four essen
tial points and be we'll versed IN
them: Buying, selling. proht ngur-
ing and managing. There are very
few merchants who are both good
buyers and good sellers. Either
they show too much enthusiasm in
their buying, or not enough in their
selling. Buying should be done In
cold blood and selling with all the
enthusiasm and earnestness you
nossess. Never show too much in
terest in goods until they're yours;
then go to it!
The Anal address will be delivered
this evening at 7.30 on the SUB
iect "salespeople of To-day and To-
morrow" Statesmen and women are
especially invited to come this eve
ming with the merchants.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE
MAJORITY
Dwight Star-Herald)

The drys had a clear majority in
The Illinois Legislature and there is
not the slightest doubt that that leg
islatve majority exactly represented
the sentiment of the majority OF the
people OF Illinois. The vets were in a
peculiarly favorable position i'll this
state because of the constitutional
provision OF minority representation,
yet in spite of this advantage and the
fact that the second city OF the nation
is in Illinois, they could not elect a
wet majority to the Illinois Legisla-
ture. It is as laughablc for the vets
to contend that the Illinois Legisla-
ture acted arbitrarily" in ratifying
the Prohibition amendment as it is
for them to argue that four thousand
legislative votes have arbitrarily COLI

That such a great decrease has
only occurred during Mondays is no
doubt due to the period OF rest and

workers during Sunday. Not only is
the worker who spends Sunday as a

himself, but still more so to his fel-
