Stores in This City so
they could use twice sis
much Advertising Space as they
now use and make it pay!
There are
good that
The better the store the better the advertising pays.
Your own observations in the store-world will confirm
this truth. ' 1
Publicity is bad only for a bad proposition. It is just
ns surely good for a good one. ,
What is a "good store?" One that really serves the '
public, protecting its patrons as to values, not merely as
to prices.
There are many stores in this city answering to that
definition completely. In every city there are always
some stores that do not. , ' .
An important phase of a good store's service to its
patrons is its newspaper advertising. This should be com
plete, frank, informing. It should tell the store news as
fully as a good newspaper tells the news of the day.
Perhaps the best possible new policy for, the good
stores of this city to adopt would be that of doubling the
' advestising space that they use thus igiving them "elbow
room;" giving' them bigger opportunities for telling their ;
patrons, in detail, about every selling event, about every
bargain offering, about every dollar's worth of new
stocks. Of course, even half enough advertising pay the.
really good store; but, adequate advertising would pay .
. much better, , ' '. ' ' . ;

Dear Mother:
Well -we are back at last, and be
lieve me, we had some trip; lots of
bad weather; but we had a good
ship so came out on top. .
We went to Archangel, Russia
and was there twenty-eight days, un
loading. - From there we went to
GlaBgow, Scotland, and then back
here. It took fifty-four days from
ArchangeL I did not like Russia at
all,' but Scotland sure Is some place.
There are ' more pretty girla there
than any other place I was ever ln
All of them sure love the U. S. boys;
not only the girls, but all the people
there. I think I will go there to live
when I get-out of, the service.
J sure have seen a lot of .this old
world, but I doubt If I am as happy
as some that have not seen so much.
You know the more you see the more
you want to see, and after you get
to going once, there is no place you
like to stay. You Just want to keep
moving, never contented any where-.
So I don't think it Is a happy life,
and sure am getting tired ot lv.
I don't know It I will have to
make another trip or not, but I hope
not. The, war is over and I -.don't
want to stay any longer than I have
to In the service. i
The ship I was on has been turned
