CHAPTER ".
The NexfNight.

The next night Betty was five min
utes late in reporting for duty, and
Miss Anderson met her outside the
door To Betty's look of inquiry, she
smiled her wide, placid smile.
Hes better, all right. Right after
you left, he woke up and demanded a
cup Of coffee. When 1 gavstt to him
he said it was the vilest stuff he ever
tasted, and all day he's been as cross
as two sticks. He wanted to know
what / was doing here anyway. He
insisted that 1 wasn't his nurse, but
when 1 explained that he had two, one
for daHand one for night, he quieted
down a little bit"
When Betty slipped through the
door of No. 2O7 and approached the
bed she was conscious of a pair of
dark eyes looking at her intently.
They seemed unusually large. sunk as
they were in the bony framework of
his face, and his handsome features
were sharpened to an almost cameo
fineness. She was absurdly conscious
of the fact that her heart was beating
up in her throat. but she tried to APP

You're much better, aren't you?"
He ignored her remark.

Everybody knows that advertised
goods are cheapest Everybody knows
that the biggest bargains are to be
found in the stores that advertise most
extensively.
SO the question arises: Just who is
it that foots the advertising bills?"
Certainly not the customer. The
customer profits by advertising-in
lower prices, better service, fresher
merchandise.
Certainly not the stores doing the
advertising. They are thriving and
prosperous.
Then WHO?
Here is a graphic, straightforward
answer to the question from recent
issue of Editor & Publisher:
complete candor with the public is
development of the days business
enlightenment. In New York the Gin
bel Brothers great store recently adj
vertised in page spaces that October
sales were $13,300,000, a gain over last
years October of $1,0O0,OOO. Another
conspicuous instance of business can
dor was exhibited at San Francisco
last week by Granat Brothers, manu-
featuring jewellers, who took a five
column newspaper space to explain
to the public that advertising is not
tax upon the consumer.
This piece of copy, signed by Jay
Haight, the advertising manager of
the store, is a classic. In heavy dis
play is asked: "Why Pay the Adver-
tising BillsT A Granat advertise
ment in a Sunday newspaper, it was
shown. cost $500, and Mr.. Haight de-
clared: "That advertisement brought
$4,000 in sales, costing per cent. 1t
is so year in and year out. Does it
raise the price of the diamond ring
you select? Does it add further tax
upon your pocket book? We believe
not. The advertising increases sales
and as result, the ratio Of other ex-
pense is lowered Whether we sell
81 600 a year or 100000 a year, the
rent is the same"
This remarkable store publicity then
goes on to show that the average over
head expense Of 394 retail jewelers. last
year as certified by the Harvard Bur-
eau, was 3S.3 per cent of their sales,
but Granat Brothers expense was 252
per cent. Many of these jewellers did
not advertise Their combined sales

Because a town is small there is no
reason why its citizens should feel
that it is small, for when people
have that feeling they never do much
to make a small town grow Los An
geles would not be Los Angeles today
If her people 30 years ago had conclud-
ed that it was only small place
and would never amount to much.
That sort of sentiment has held back
many a town. The Chamber of Com
merce in a small town has just as i'm
portant business to perform as has a
civic organization in larger city.
If the people Of the small communi-
ties are active and have faith in their
small towns those small towns some
day are going TO be large towns while
other small towns whose citizens have
no faith i'm them will always remain
small. Big things were never produc-
ed on foundation of small ideas.
