It Costs Money to Buy Advertising
Space in the Newspapers, and Not
Infrequently I Meet a Merchant Who
Sees Nothing But the Cost Side.
So He Does Not Advertise!
Usually such a man believes in being his own
janitor, errand boy, clerk and general manager. He
lives in terror of a payroll, and the expense of ex
pansion improvements fairly pulls him.
A man of that type is just as big today as he
will be twenty years from now, if providence
grants him life and unlimited prosperity. He is
carrying a portion of the same stock he had five
or ten years ago, and unless he happens to have a
call for those articles he will hold them on his
shelves indefinitely. He will tell you ina confiden
tial way that it might be alright for merchants in
other lines to advertise and to make special offer
l ings, but his line is different you know.”
1 The man with a wide calibre sees that such ex
| penses as are incidental to an increased volume of
business, may be the very bnst investment that he
1 can make. He is willing to pay clerks good wages;
I to double his stock if necessary, and to pay out
money to maintain an attractive looking store if. at
the end of the month, he is able to show a net profit
above the net protit of the One-Man-Store. He is
j the type that sees a relationship between his busi
ness and every other successful enterprise, and he
reasons that selling methods successfully used by
his fellow merchants, even though the latter be in
I a totally different line, may be used with profit to
himself.
I Such a man can understand the reason for and
