The Path to Suece In .bsinctn,
Ad vortising, as the means of pros.
perity, is not as well unlerstood as it
ehould be. Nothi-g can taki its
plaeO. IL is a fact that no one w 1o
hats vdvortisod liberally and s
tomatioally has felt like dimputing
that it was the best spilt money lie
put into businets. As a horse was
never made fitt by a single bu'lhel of
0orn, so a singlo advertisement is
never a porfect test to the boneflts of
advortising. The man with genuine
wares to sell, who advertised thon in
the right way without success, would
bo a curiotity.
