"You see that carr" asked Mabel,

red car standing in the driveway.
"Yes. What about it," asked Sally,

small fire sent its warmth into the
chilly air of the old house.

The important element of value in
correct display technique is nothing
more nor less than the ability to
make a $50 suit to appear to be
fully worth $50 or to make a suit
that has been marked to $3.50 still
look like $50 worth; to make a SIS
shirt on display look better than
SIS bill, and to make $12 hat look
so good in the show window that
Sc pocketbook will raise the limit to
make the purchase and be content
to sacrifice somewhere else. After
all it's attractiveneSs rather than
price that sells merchandise through
the show window
Again 1 say, merchandise well dis
played is half Sold-you salespeople
are the other half you must be
honest, be courteous, be patient and
always be helpful to all who come
into the store, otherwise the desire
created for the merchandise through
the ad or the window display will be
entirely lost.
Cooperation is the keynote to sue
cessful merchandising-let us all pull
together at all times.
And always bear in mind whenever
the executives of this business may
speak to you about your work, that
they are not scolding you, but that
they want to help you, because they
believe in you and want to keep you

Tell Nothing But the Truth" in
Advertising and Display
The success in advertising and win
dow displays depends entirely upon
the truth"
Advertising and window displays
are the stores two silent salesmen,
which play a very important part in
the success of her sales. Newspaper
advertising is very essential factor,
which is closely related to window
displays. The newspapers will bring
the customers to the show windows
and into the store to view the mer-
chandise advertised informing them
of the results of our buyers efforts
who have searched the markets
everywhere for the customers con-
venience and delight. These two
mediums are the best and quickest
way of getting our merchandise be-
fore the public.
Advertising stimulates the conSum-
ing power of man. 1t creates desires
that raise the standard of living. 1t
is the incentive that makes one want
a better home, better clothing for
yourself and your family AdvertiS-
ing of that sort teaches the individ-
ual that they must work for the
things they want, then it is good
advertising.
Advertising has aided in the distri-
button of goods and knowledge about
things. Advertising has brought goods
within our reach and keeps them in
front of us for our benefit We buy
better things and more things today
for the same money, because of the
saving wrought through mass produc-
ton. Advertising has truly made us
want better things. ag a

taste in the selection, arrangement
and combination of colors that go to
make it an attractive, pleasing, in

"What is the one word that seems
adequate to describe all the essential
elements that go to make perfect
executed display? That is taste. It
is taste in the background, in the

are to be displayed in the windows
