He may advertise the 4same have in stock, but the people don’t know you have them. The other fcdloMT gets the sales because^ he advertises. And; then., how’ muf'h more business you would do if you did advertise! VVe know of one m^chant who adverti.sed a lot of goods at 19 cents a ya^. They cost him 27 cents. He took a clean loss, but while the sale wa a.s going on he could buy new goods at 12 cents. He put them in with the ' ‘ dhi other goods and th^’result wa4S that he cleaned !his shelves of the old goolls and he broke even on the deal. Advertising and good buying liquidated his stock without a loss. We can’t all be John Wannamakers, but we all can a<lvertise in pro portion to our business.
