THEY ALL ADVERTISED


can build up big commercial success WITHOUT AID
VERrISING But usually he wakes up, sooner or
later to the fact that it just can't be done There is
nothing more certain in the business world than that
iudicious publicity is essential to success.
This mas been 20 clearly demonstrated time and
time again that it is hardly necessary to refer to the
subject The world war is striking Illustration OF
the value of publicity. Does any man believe the
great Liberty Loan drives would have been successful
had it not been for the advertising carried in the
DAILY NEWSPAPERS. No man will contradict the
assertion that advertising was the big factor in sell
ing liberty bonds and in fact contributed more to the
success of the war than any other one thing.
'1'- Under the caption THERE AMT no SUCH
ANIMAL" the Chicago DAILY NEWS had the fol
lowing in recent issue OF Printers Ink:
name ten merchant princes who never aGvertis-
ed. no Name nine, then Six? Two? One? WIZ what
is the meaning Of this? Your knowledge Of history
and current affairs is comprehensive; your memory
is excellent Why then, can't you name the great
leaders of commerce who built up their enterprises
without advertising?
Simply because There amt no such animal
Great commercial Success since the dawn Of history
have been erected largely by advertising of some sort
or another And as the means Of advertising i'm
proved, the number and extent Of business enter
prses increased correspondingy. Cause and effect.
"The big successes are the big advertisers-and
they are not big advertisers because they big sue
cesses but big successes because they big adver
tsers.
"They know not only, what to advertise, out how
and when They are adept il the choice Of mediums.
They take no chances. Where they lead the later
conner may safely f3lloW."
Consider for a moment:
THE BIG SUCCESSES ARE NOT ZIG AID
VERTISERS BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG sue
CESSES BUT BIG SUCCESSES BECAUSE THEY
ARE BIG ADVERTISERS"
Occasionally you find man who imagines that
his business is TOO SMALL for him to advertise per
sstently and freely
That's all right" he says cor the nan who mas
been in business long time and who has big volume
Ct trade but can't afford it."
Who are the big, successful business men in your
own town? DO they advertise? Yes persistently ard
judciouay. Advertising pays Nothing is truer chan
that.
Advertise aggressively, persistenty and judici-
ousy Put the same energy and force behind your adj
vertsing that you put behind your purchasing agent,
your statesmen The Daily Newspaper is the best
salesman you have.

Be Careful What You Wash
 Your Child's Hair With

If you want to keep your child's hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for sham poons, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply put two or three teaspoon fuls of Mulsifed in a cup or glass with a little warm water, then moisten the hair with water and~ rub it in. It will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get Mulsified cocoatnut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.
