Newspaper Advertising
Starts the Wheels
In November, business had a bluish cast.
The financial waters were troubled.
Corn and wheat and cotton were tumb
ling business w5s halting and hesitating.
Everywhere you heard the croakers say,
"People are not buying."
Then the retailers took the cold plunge.
They began to readjust prices and offer in
ducements. And they advertised the fact advertis
ed it in the newspapers of their home cit
ies. They kept at it and kept at it.
After a bit, buying began to wake up
slowly at first, then in greater, volume.
Progressive merchants who know news
paper advertising pulls progressively went
at it harder.
Business grew better and better, and by
the last part of December many merchants
were reporting record-breaking sales, and
taking the country as a whole, business
was good.
Newspaper advertising saved the day
and ntade it possible for the merchants to
clear their shelves arid reorder from the
manufacturer thus loosening the clogged
stream of commerce and setting the fac
tory wheels in motion.
Newspaper advertising is the greatest
single business force on this continent to
day. USE THE CHRONICLE
