BIRDS SING DOLLARS

Canaries have been found to be
wonderful sales helps in dry goods
and department stores. nj
In furniture stores they should be
tastefully hung in pretty cages to-

The songs of the birds seem to
have psychological buying effect on
the women shoppers when they are

One of the values of birds as ar at.

THE MERCHANT

When a merchant buys his goods
he does so months in advance of the
time he expects to sell them. Then
why wait to plan the advertising till
the day before? The more pep and
punch the boys in the composing
room can put into your advertising
when they put it into type, the bet
ter win be the results. But they can't
put pep and punch into your ads
when the copy comes piling in an hour
or two before press time, any more
than your sales people can give half
an hour apiece to customers when
there's crowd of them to be served.
The more time you give US, the better
the results will be.
