How to Insure Sales.

The chief asset for any business is
the demand for what it sells. AS long
as that demand continues, that busi-
ness is on safe foundation. But let
that demand subside, and every other
becoming a liability.
In time Of prosperity and a rising
market there is a general demand for
products that is accepted as a matter
of course. It is not listed among the
assets of the business, but is regarded
as permanent fixture.
But in comparatively short space
of time conditions may change, as they
have done before, and the generally
accepted demand become conspicuous
by it's absence. The business, once
sound and fourishing, is found to be
in a tight place. The demand has not
been insured and yet the entire busi-
ness owed it's existance to contin-
uance of the demand.
The modern, economical way to in
sure the market for any business is to
advertise what it has to sell to the
consuming public. Advertising creates
a steady increasing number of custom
ers, who learn from experience that
their needs can be satisfied at fair
prices. The one requisite is that the
advertiser keep faith with his Gus
toners.
Changes in business conditions have
little effect on steady consumer de-
mand Merchants who place their
trust in demand not of their making
may rue the day they failed to adver-
tise, but those who have a message for
their customers about their merchan-
disc are secure against the dark days
of business depression.
