ADVERTISING
Early TO bed
And early TO rise,
Stick to your business
And advertise.

There was a time when business
men didn't adyeitise--in the sense
in which We understand advertising
today. Not so long ago advertising
was looked upon as more or 'os'
needless expense--if not as more or
less idle luxury. But now advertising
il regarded as necessity, Us an IN
vestment; and, by wise men, II Is
considered an investment carefully
calculated to assure returns that
promise profits. AS Emerson has
said: "If you invent mousctfap
better than the world has known, the
world will beat q path to your door,
But far more persons will come to
examine and buy your mousctrap II
you will Jay out and pave a broad and
smooth road TO your place Of business
and yod can do that by intelligent
activities in advertising.
Advertising, right advertising, is a
wise and legitimate investment.
When investments are made in mer-
chandise, they expected to bring
certain returns upon the money in
vested.
When investments are made in ad.
vuitising, they should be expected to
do the same thing.
Big national advertisers have re.
