How's Business?

That is question that is asked thousands of times daily No one likes to admit to his friends that he isn't doing we'll He figures that it isn't good policy if he analysed his mind more he would find that he reached that decision because he discovered that policy and advertising synonymous. To tell another that business is good to advertise optimism; to say that it is bad is to advertise depression.
 If business is good why not tell the rest of the muny about your offerings that all may enjoy their benefits; and you will find increased sales to your lk ing? If business is baddont fire the sales force or close shop temporarily and advertise fire sale when the wind blows out the gas; dig in to your problem with renewed vieor and tell everyone what you have. You had faith in your wares-faith enough to buy them for dstrbution-exhihit that faith before those who will appreciate it by advertising what you have.
