Advertising should be done during the dull time for the puipoSo of stir ring up trade ut that time and also ? JW the soko of the benelit of which ?... ; . eWill come from being continually before tho public eye. A man should just as quickly think of stopping his advertise ments in tho summer or in the dull time after the holidays as he should thittfc Of cloein^' up his store several months in the yeur and keeping It open only when trade would Vofp " him busy. It doea not take people very long ' to forget thiDgs, and if a store were g4":~ -*-'"plo*ed up four months or the adver v ^aiog stopped four mouths a groat J^iuoany people, vould have forgotten /. that the business was in existence. The other viow of advertising is v that it ought to "be pushed during the busy time, wbeu the people are ready to buy. Advertising cannot be expected HL; to sell goods when people don't want them, and it will bo uaturally most effective when it ,?ivos pub/ liclty to aome desirablo '-article at fcV ' t'r- just the right time. To bo sure ad vertising will sell anything at any time if tho prieo bo made low enough and tho advertisement sulll cieutly attractive.
