WHAT IS ADVERTISING?
“ The Yard of Best Quality ”
H. M. STRAW . MGR.
“Advertising is the education of
the public as to what you are, where
you are, and what you have to offer
in the way of skill, talent or com­
modity. The only man who should
not advertise is tlie man who has
nothing to offer the world in the
way of commodity or service.”
