Your Biggest Job
Telling the People
You sweep out, you trim the windows, you
dust off the counters, you make up new price
cards, you unpack and arrange new stock, you
plan your merchandise shOwings you do these
and hundred other necessary jobs REGU-
LARLY in the normal conduct of your busi-
ness
But how about the biggest job of all-con-
tacting the people and telling them repeatedly
that you are in business and have the goods
they need Do you do that REGULARLY?
Do you figure you going to get your share
of the available business if you don't tell folks
about your merchandise your service at
REGULAR intervals instead of doing the job
spasmodically or not at all?
By all known tests, experience and thOus-
ands of records the acknowledged bestOf-all
medium for REGULARITY is advertising in
the local newspaper. A newspaper going REG
ULARLY into the homes of your possible GUS
toners, not only in your town but the sur
rounding territory as WELL makes it easy
enough for anyone to see how your newspaper,
The Smyrna Times, offers you the finest kind
of vehicle for carrying your business mes
sage REGULARLY to the people.
And don't think these folks will miss your
REGULARITY of advertising. They look for
their newspaper REGULARLY, READ 1T REG
ULARLY, study its advertising (yours if it's
there) REGULARLY
And what's more, you'll find they are buy
ing fairly REGULARLY, too, if you'll lust
check up, especially with the advertisers who

way to battle a plant is to lay it

Follow by rinsing each leaf with
cold water to remove the soap. Do
