Unless It Is a Good " " Store It Will Not" Pay to Advertise It ! * "V" I I"k t1 \r/Vl * 1 know a person - unless - \ less that person comes into you- j life in some way -yon are not concerned about whether he is tf or bad. desirable or abjectionable. It's so with a store. The people who never visit it care nothing1 about it one way or the other. Tt doesen't exist lor them. But when they are per suaded to patroni/e it when the } ' come to turn the spot-li ht of their attention on itwhen it comes to have a part in their lives , as some stores must have in all lives-then it's diiVercnt fhi-n if nOTCK matter whether it strives to win confi XI dence ; it does matter whether or not its price concisions are genuine , dependable. If it meets all tests that a good store must stand when it is advertised when it thus invites the critical attention of people- then advertising "maIces" the store. If it fails in the most of the vital things if it proves , under the light of publicity , not to be much of a store , TIIKX AIVl-iiTISJN : ( } WILL NOT PAY for it will emphasize shortcom ings as well as merits. S 1 For these s\mo rent ons it is generally assumed thnt the store which does not advertise Is seeking to avoid close In spection i\nd comprvri.jon , tuid thnt the btore which doe.s is courting them.
