Their feeling, therefore, is that when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan, that a reasonable amount of goods, bought by him on credit. Is likely to be turned over quickly and promptly paid for. ou ac count of his methods o f keeping his goods constantly before the public. The banker would have confidence that the goods would be disposed of and turned into cash before they go' out of date or shopworn. Discriminating buyers of every class know they can get fresh goods from the store that advertises. The merchant who advertises seldom has shopworn goods. And in that way advertising helps the merchant's credit not only with the banks but with his customers. And one is jus as important as the other.
