He Is the one : who doe3 most to build up his com munity. In this he may incur the ill-will of hi3 non-progressive compet itors, but he doas the business and sells the goods. He is the booster and not the knocker. While he may be doing well he believes in doing I better. While in business he will work it for all there is in it. He is neither penny wise nor pound fool ish. The money spent in advertis ing is not thrown away, nor wasted and the advertiser knows It. Every dollar spent In Judicious advertising yields large returns. The man who never advertises but sits around and grunts and growls at his successful competitors and kicks and knocks at the town does not corral the trade. Trade is like everything animate, it likes coaxing and needs to be sought. Business Is greater than It seems. It) possibilities infinite. Suc cess depends upon management and not locaMty. The world Is wide and after a man has corralled his own country there are 12,500 miles left In either direct! :n.
