A shoe manufacturer whose store in
New York City is in a rather out- of-
tbe-way locality recently called the at
tention of the reading public to these
familiar lind;
“If a man can . write a better book,
preach a better sermon, or makp a bet
ter mousetrap than Ms neighbor,
though,he build his house in the woods,
the world will make a beaten path to
his door.”
F6r many years people liave beaten
a path to this shoe manufacturer’s door.
He has proved the truth of this famous
aphorism. j
And where did he publish this .quota
tion which he applies with, such pride
to is business? ■’*'
Why; in an advertisement, to be sure
—for this manufacturer U a consistent
and regular advertiser, and when he
has anything to say, he says it through
his advertising. It may fairly be
assumed that he would not look for a
thriving business in the best, of mouse
traps, or shoes, if people were not told
about them .as people^expect to be told
—thrbugh advertising. j .. •
Of course, people do find out which
are the best mousetraps, die best shoes,
the best tires, the best breakftast foods,
and buy v them in preference to others.
And people today are pretty well
aware that when a manufacturer puts
