Abbott. and Advertising is called by some an art. If it be an art it is the ait 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. In s store where the employer sails goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not be the best sal asm in. The reason issimple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments cany weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
