ADVERTISING ABSOLUTELY i ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS. Advertising is a guarantee of zood, faith, SNCCess, The public thus learns from perience that local store advertising is trustworthy. s it deals with such subjects of surpassing interest cost of living and the fashions of the | day, every line of it is read with the most discriminating attention, says the Gainesville Sun. People like to read and think about shopping before visiting a store. A great many purchasers are practi- cally made from the newspaper he- fore the buyer leaves home. Furthermore, liberal advertising tells the public that a merchant is| making good., Lack of it is intef-| preted as lack of confidence in one's! It is evidence of efliciency andg! eX-| | as business. The firm that is classed with the firm that seeks aq | obscure location in some remote side £ does not advertise street, as too small to serve the pub-* lic efiicic When a firm gives the idea trade to pay the expenses of the licity.
