Remove the sign; withdraw the window dis. play space; turn the retail sales force into dum. mies; stop using cards, circulars, pamphlets, ad- vertising novelties and newspaper space; do any one of these things or all of them and you re. move the vitality of business, The most harmful of all advertising to dispense with is newspaper advertising. It rvepresents the laws of progress in business. Without it, your business goes hun- gry. It lacks fuel consumption for keeping life and heat, The tank or boiler-heart or brain-—is lacking: the driving force is removed or non- existent, One form of newspaper advertising that *“plain reason” will admit the necessity of, is classified advertising. As the news and views mould pub- lic opinion, classified advertising influences the purchasing power of the household, It goes straight to the *“purchasing agent,” who awaits its advent prepared to buy.
