IF YOU CONDUCT A RETAIL STORE, THERE ARE FOUR THINGS YOU WISH TO DO: " (1) You wish to HOLD all of your present custom ers. (2) You wish to sell more goods to your present cus tomers.

Not one of these can be reached by being a mere store-keeper. None of these objectives can be wholly realized without ^vertising and attracting prospective buyers into your store.
