Business is no longer a man to man con tact in which the merchant and the patron establish a personal bond, any more than bat tle is a hand-to-hand grapple, where bone and muscle and sinew decide tne outcome. Trade as well as war has changed in its aspect—both are now fought at long range. Just as a present day army of heroes would have no opportunity to display the individual valor of its members, just so a merchant who counts upon his personal acquaintanceship for success is a relic of the past—a business dodo. Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after a fleet of warships battered down the Satsuma fortifications. The Samu rai, who had hitherto considered their blades and bows good enough, discovered that one cannon was mightier than all the swords in creation if they could not get near enough to use them. Japan profited by the lesson. She did not wait until /«rMer* ramparts were battered to pieces, but was satisfied with her one experience and proceeded to modernize her methods. The merchant who doesn’t advertise is pretty much in the same {>osition as that in which Japan stood when her eyes were oj>eneil to the fact that times heui changed. The long range publicity of a competitor will as surely destroy your business as the cannon of the foreigners crumbled the walls of Sat suma. Unless you take the lesson to heart, unless you realise the importance of advertising, not only as the means of extending your business but for defending it as well, you must be prepared to face the conse quences of a folly as great as that of a duelist who expects to survive in a contest in which his adversary tears a sword twice the length of his own. Don’t think that it’s too late to tegin because there are so many stores which have had the advantage of years of cumulative advertising. The city is grow ing. It will grow even more next year. It needs iftereased trading facilities just as it’s hungry for new neighborhoods. • Bat it will never again support neighborhood stores. Newspaj^er advertising has eliminated the strength of “teing locally prominent, and five cent street car fares have cut out the advantage of teing "around the corner" A store five miles away can reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your next door neighter to its aisles, while you sit by and sec* the people on your own block enticed away without your being able to retaliate or supply nrw customers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertising but of being able to survive without it. The thing you have to consider is not only an extension of your business but holding what you al ready have. Advertising is an investment, the cost of which | is in the same proportipn to its returns as seeds are to ’ the harvest. And it is just as preposterous for you to , consider publicity as an expense as it would be for a fanner to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer if he discovered that he could profitably increase his crops , by employing it.
