Retail trade has not ye. caught up. Close analysis of t ln sltuation discloses that the retailers have lagged because they have failed to put into the minds of the pen pi a feeling of confidence that prices have reached the bottom and that better times are at band. Ii is am azing how few retail merchants in the smaller towns realize the value or educational advertising. Tiiev are so close to the picture that Ihey fail to see its perspective. They look for the tmmedalte dollar and in grasping at the shadow, Ihey nils:-; the substance. The value of adver tislng Is cumulative. Indeed, ihaL Is its greatest worth. Eastman has actually advertised the word camera out of the dictionary and advem fl tho trademarked name Kodak into the dictionary. The day of Dliali ad Ing advertising lias passed. The public has come to see ad vei l isi fl i the light of news, and it is news. The merchant who advertises tells his story frankly to Ihe public, and he knows he will be checked up am! court an investigation of his price The advei I Isement of today is not the subject of suspicion It is Hi merchant who is afraid lo toll his slory over his signature Ibal the pub lic regards with doubt, and prop rl so. The boom in retail trade awal only a little tbot on the pari of t h merchant, plus the lundlmental knowledge that advertising is an in vestment and not an expense and a duty owed to Ihe public whose sup port Is sought. The whole busi ness structure of Ihe nation depend! on advertising. Increased business means greater production, lowt r first cost, n larger turnover, incr as ed buying and consequently pica I a saving to the buying public. II, public should support merchants who advertise because Ihey are the con structive force that helps to Keep costs down.
