GOVERNOR CALLS
VOTERS TO FILL
BERGER'S PLACE

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 49,
Governor E. N. Philipp has called a
special election for Dec. 10 in the
Fifth congressional district to name
a successor to Victor Berger, ousted
by the national house of representa-
tives for his attitude in the war. The
primary will be held Dec. 8. =.
Reports from Washington say Ber-
ger has decided again to be candi-
date. Legal steps will be taken here
demanding his name be kept off the
ballot on the grounds that the Wash
ington decision makes him Ineligible
to hold office.
The republicans and democrats
probably will unite on fusion candi-
date to defeat Berger. Joseph P.
Carney, who lost to Berger in the elec
ton, says he will be candidate, and
William Stafford, former congress
man, is willing to make the run.

WHENEVER you pass an attractive retail
" store, the location, of which is accessible
to a large number of people, and see it prac-
tically empty, it is generally safe to sur
mise that the owner does not advertise.
He pays rent. He pays for light. He
pays for clerk hire. He has money invested
in merchandise that awaits purchasers. He
maintains an establishment under certain
fixed charges for the benefit of cutomers-
who are generally casual customers.
But he doesn't advertise.
Yet the waste energy of his help, accur-
ately measured, would pay for considerable
productive advertising The light that is
being shed on unsought merchandise might
be used by salesman in effecting a profit
able sale.
Unoccupied floor space might bear the
weight of scores of shoppers. The full en-
ployment of facilities would make it possi-
BILE for this idle store to prominently place
itself on the business map of El Centro.
And small, persistent, well planned
2 we'll placed advertising would accomplish
this result.
Of course, this merchant has knowl-
edge of merchandising and store keeping or
he wouldn't be in business.
Merchandising and store-keeping form
the basis of advertising. The writing Of the
small advertisement is important, but incl
dental.
The prime essential is the right mer-
chandise at the right price behind the ad-
vertising.
The second is the store and it's manage
ment.
The merchant-who must start small
with his advertsing-rnust be big in those
things that make store attractive.
He must be specialist in his line.
He must know that he is in position
to compete successfully with, and, if pos
sible, surpass all others. He must know
that his organization is trained to render
competent and courteous service. And he
must be ready to Immediately rectify all
errors of craftsmanship, because no custo-
mer is properly sold until he is satisfied.
Every merchant will claim that he
meets these requirements.

If he advertises he can better afford
such concessions-they make for bigger
business, always.
Secure in the possession of these I'M
perative requisites, he can convert the
waste energies of his store into multiplied
profits. He can be among the best known
merchants in the city-can attract dlscrln1-
mating men and women to his store from
every section-if he advertises judiciously.
To begin with, he can advertise in the
Press every other day. When his returns
warrant the spending of more money he
can go in every day.
Let him see that his name is printed
conspicuously at the top or bottom OF each
advertisement and then let him present,
clearly and concisely, one or two items OF
merchandise, each at price that means
value in addition to style and quality.
The public will respond in paying pro-
portions and the rest depends upon his
merchandise and his store-keeping.
Even if he tried he could not easily pre-
vent those who come to him through ad-
vertising from purchasing other merchan-
disc than that which he has advertised. He
he did not make an effort to supply each
customer with everything required.
And then-when the day is done-he
can figure his profit on the aggregate sales
instead of expecting to make all of his
money out of advertised goods. This is the
method employed by all big retail adver-
tisers
1t isn't question of how can the retail
store-keeper afford to advertise. The real
question is:
How Can He Afford Not to Advertise?
Especially in Ell Centro, where the
Press affords introduction to an audience
whose purchasing power and responsive
ness are unrivaled by that of any other
newspaper.
In appreciation of this fact, the keenest,
most successful advertisers of today use
Press space-and thus increase their pa
tronage, add to their prestige and multiply
their profits.
Among Press readers are the customers
you already have-also the customers you
should haze. A paying audience and the
stage is set for you-nOU!
