Advertising Not A Debatable Policy; It’s Steam That Keeps Business Engines Moving The economic changes in business during the last twfd or threi* years are well known. Some merchants have adjusted their businessi-s <iuickly to the new conditions, and they have femnd that regular ad vertising has lieen of inestimable help in their cfintinued success. A'f)U have heard a IfK'omotive pulling a train of cars ujihill you have seen a train coasting down an easy grade. You know that it took more steam pres.sure to climb the hdl but you know that when that pres.sure was applied by the engineer the obi train moved ahead. Advertising is not a luxury not a debatable policy. Adverl’sin.g is not .something you give as “support” to a newspaper with your political opinion. Newspaper advertising is a .selling force. ’! he strong er that force is applied, the more bu.siness results. There are some business men who c(>n be discouraged liy a ra.ny day or some othep.passing mood. If that is the way your competitor.s feel.s—so much the better for you, A discouraged man is certain to lo.se business. Ami when he loses it the optimistic go-getter receiv-os the new customers. This year of 1931 is one of the great years of oppt»rtunity. The foundations of many a fortune are being laid right now. There is plenty of merchandise being sold to our readers every day. This is your invitation to talk to our readers regularly and win an ever in creasing share of their patronage.
