The most brilliant gem that vru ever
taken from the euth would not
amount to much if there were no peo
ple to appreciate its beauty and to vie
with each other for its possession.
The most spacious store,
the most carefully selected
stock of goods, the clever
est corps of clerks will not
avail unless people know
about them.
Knowledge of such
things is spread in various
ways. A passerby may
drop in and be impressed.
He may tell his neighbor,
and he in turn may tell
somebodv else.
•/
That is one way, and
there are some merchants
who today think it is good
enough. Modern develop
ment, however, has sup
plied in newspapers the best
means. They go into ev
ery home in the land, how
ever humble, however mag
nificent. Through them all
of the information can be
supplied, not to one, but
to thousands.
