After a depressing August

there was a sudden change for j no time during 1915 able to
the better. In September the
wheels of commerce began to re
volve once more, the pessimists
ran for cover, and the optimists,
after having had an enforced
vacation extending over two or
three years, were back on the
job. Business became good, and
healthy conditions were restored
the fog of doubt lifted.
One of the big reasons for the
encouraging change was the im
provement of condition in the
South.
The Simmons Hardware Com-
yany of St. Louis reported that
after hav : ng practically no South
ern business in August, trade in
the South was nearly normal in

Never before was the tire
business so good as in 1915. A
protratced fall made it possible
for people to drive their cars
later than usual. According to
the wall street Journal, The B.
F. Goodrich Company, the lead
er in the production of automo
bile tires, in 1915 increased its
total sales 35 per' cent over
of 1914. This company has
brought about a resolution of
45 per cent in the prices of tires
to users during the past two
years. Yet, with this lowering
of prices, the goodrich Company
is able able to show! a big in
crease in its total business. Its
output as reported recently by
the Wall Street Journal reacned
the highwater mark in automo-
mobile tire making by a single
day’s production ot oyer 14,000
tires.
Silent Salesmanship- Adver
tising-will play a more promin
entpartin the big successes of
1916 than evev before.
Forcible Silent Salesmanship
is advertising in newspapers
backed up by equally forcible to
personal salesmanship, will deter
mined the varying degrees of
aspired to by manufactures in
the coming year,
Concerns that have products
which the people want at a fair
price will have a banner year
between nowand the beginning
of-19N, if the quality of their
advertising is such as to compare
with that of Goodrich and Dia
mond Tires, Hart Schaffner and
Marx clothes, Athena underwear

The National Drink, Snider’s

The heads of big business
organizations are; taking advler
tismg during the coming yJ
more seriously than they have! in
the past. They are are using i it
in a bigger and better way than
formerly to dovetail with aiid
support the work of their sales
men.
Silent Salesmanship is no long
er a gamble. It stabilizes arid
standardizes business, and yoii
will find that advertised pro
ducts will reach the pinnacle
in sales during 1916.
The news papers will be the
largest gainers their standards,
ond giving better service and co
operation to the advertiser and
the consumer. Hence they are
being rewarded by the receipt of
bigger and better patronage

HOW WILL YOU, FEEL
After Thursday Jan. 20?
Will your credit still be good, or will you be rated as “bad
risk” How will it feel to have a merchant say: “I'm sorry ,but
we cant charge this to you, you owe several past due accounts
to other merchants.”
Wouldn’t it be better to make arrangements about your
past due accounts before Thursday, January 20th, and be rated
“good credit.” You will feel much better if the merchant says\
“Certainly we are glad to credit you. The Association rat
you “GOOD CREDIT.”

War Upon Pain
Pain is a visitor to every home
and usually it comes quite unex

for every emergency if you keep
a small bottle of Sloan’s Lini

pain killer ever discovered. Sii

ly laid on the skin-no nibbing
required — it drives the pain
away, it is really wonderful.
