CAN’T AEFORD IT
The other day a merchant said
he couldn’t afford to advertise in
his home newspaper. I f the man’s
view s w ere not distorted, he would
see that he couldn’t afford not to
advertise. Refusing to advertise
is his most expensive extrava
gance. The same merchant will
spend hours telling o f the “ u nfair”
competition o f mail-order houses
who are his most aggressive and
dangerous competitors, y et the
methods employed by mail-order
houses that succeed are the very
ones that the merchant refuses to
use. The mail-order house first
o f all is an A D V E R T IS E R . A d
vertising is the life o f its business.
Every magazine that enters the
small town and rural home carries
the ad o f the mail order house.
Expensive catalogs are printed
showing the illustrations o f the
actual a r t i c l e s .
O ccasional

over the country as a special

o f his local paper, the merchant
who can’t afford to advertise sits
down and “ cussess" his tough
luck and wonders w hy he can’t
get the business. He never thinks
he has a better opportunity to
reach the people in his neighbor
hood than the mail-order house
has. It doesn’t cost him as much
as it does the outsider; he can
draw the people to his store and
show them the actual article he is
advertising, and, when they buy,
they can take their purchase home
with them instead o f having to

vertising is an investment.

should be charged to your selling
