BUSINESS MAXIMS
(Author Unknown)
In business there is nothing
golden about silence!
Words are your selling ambas
sadors: a small drop of ink pro
duces what makes people think!
He who is silent is forgotten!
If you want to sell, you have
to tell the people what you have;
and you have to tell them often!
That is one reason why news
paper advertising is so important
to the ambitious merchant!
Advertising is seed which a
merchant plants in the confidence
of the community!
When an unadvertised busi
ness is sold, it is worth only as
much as its stock and fixtures!
Surely it is short-sighted for a
man to operate a business which
ceases with inaction, when it can
be made a going enterprise
which would thrive through the
years!
Modern-minded executive con
centrates on peering ahead; he
builds soundly and solidly with
the aid of newspaper advertising:
he prepares for future stresses
and strains!
It wasn’t raining when Noah
built the ark; he prepared for
future security!
