"It roust be a good book," replied tbe head of
the bouse, "but I can't read."
"But, my good man," urged the agent, "some
member of your family, your wife, your aon,
your daughter can read."
"Yes," agreed the man, "my daughter can
read, but she's got a book."
We hear yon say "Foolish man, aa if one
book was all that was necessary to educate
his daughter, to direct her thoughts, to make
her equal to other men's daughters."
But is he any more foolish than the man who
says "Yea, advertising is alright. I ran an
ad once." Just as if one advertisement waa
sufficient to direct the people's thoughts to
your store to make your store equal to other
stores. It takes many books to make an edu
cation continual reading so it takes CON
TINUAL advertising to MAKE a business.
