Advertising today, e.'^pecially in new.^paiKtrs. the greatest husines-
getter there is. This is acknowledged by men who know. People read ad
vertisements in newspapers. They have been educated to do so. Kvei”*’
merchant in onr town ought to advertise. You remHmber the story about
John VVannamaker? The first day he was in business his receipts were
$24.64. He kept the 64 cents and spent the $24 the next day in advertising^
We all can’t duplicate this feat, but according to the best statistics avail
able TIfKEE PER CENT OF THE CROSS SALES SHOULD BE I’UT
ASIDE FOR ADVERTISING.
Possibly you will say. “I (|on’t need to ad' erti.'e. I’ve been in this town
thirty years and everyUidv knows me.
Probably they do, hut did
you ever stop to think of the sales you lose
because your fellow competitor advertises? He may advertise the same
goods you have in stock, but ^he people don’t know you have, them Th>"
TJtteyfetmw getslhe'saT^l^eause he ad\^^ then,, how much
more business you would do if you did advertise!
We know of one merchant who advertised a lot of goods at 19 ce,nts a
yard. They cost him 27 cents. He took a clean loss, but while the sale was
going on he could buy new goods at 12 c^nts. He put them iii^^ the
other goods and the result was that he cjewied his shelvesj)f
and he brokeweiroiYTthe-deaf. AWertising and good buying liquidated his
stock without a lo.ss.
