GETTING CLOSE TO THE, BUYER.
The salesman sucoaeds by getting

Muitiiitiiu stiiiug is comparatively
.easy. Ninety-five per cent of salesman
ship is comprised in "getting close."

known a concern and US goods, Uay-
ing as litth as-possible for the sales
man to do, says the American Lum
berman. But this preliminary intro
ductory work is founded upon and its
success is dependent upon the same
principles as the actual selling. The
newspaper chosen as the medium for
doing this work will profit the adver
tiser according as it Is "close" or not
to its readers. '
WIe3 advertisers know this and they
know also that the local newspaper is
closer to its readers than is any other
paper. Moreover ,the local' paper is
taken and read by more of the people
of its community than is 'any other,
paper. Thfse two facts have been,
demonstrated times beyond number.
The news and editorial pages of the
local paper treat of matters that most
ktimately and directly concern and
affect the personal interests andwel
fare of its' readers. Readers know
personally something about isvery facjt
mentioned and subj:ct discussed In
their home paper. Consequently they
read it with a thoroughness that they
do not allow to any other medium. .
National auverurers know all of
these facts and sadly bewail the fact
that they cannot, directly avail them
selves of advertising advantages that
are open to the retailers through lo
cal papers. In fact it ?ems that ths
person most directly concerned the
local retailer has been the last to ap
preciate fully the uridevelopfd adver
tising opportunities before his very
door. .".'. , ,'
v The retailer is not altogether to
blame for this situation. 'Often the lo
cal publisher, if h; has know,n the
sing value of his paper, has
