If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. la a store where , the employer sells \ goods side by side with his desks It is f> tare that the employer will not be ihe best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from Ato Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pie- tented in the same way, with the same wn+'Viitsiaeii* spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
