LOCAL
BUSINESS
BY BYRON MAXWELL
“The melon vender who does
not cry his wares will be left with
rotten fruit ...”
This old Chinese proverb, ac
cording to Sou Chan, operator of
the House of Chan in New York
City, “is simply a fancy way of
saying it pays to advertise.”
To Mr. Chan, the proverb makes
just as much sense today as it did
to his ancestors 2,000 years ago.
The House of Chan has develop
ed into a highly successful restau
rant as the result of small but
clever advertisements in local
newspapers. “And I’m completely
convinced that it pays to adver
tise in newspapers,” he says.
Although Mr. Chan has for long
been a newspaper advertiser, re
cently he experienced what he
called “a startling demonstration
of how effective newspaper adver
tising is.”
Previously, his advertising had
featured evening specialities.
However, last summer Mr. Chan
decided to attempt to increase his
luncheon business. He simply
changed one line in his small ad
from "Just off Times Square” to
read “Luncheon From 90c.”
Within one week luncheon busi
ness at the House of Chan had in
creased 50 per cent. “This increase
in one week just by making a
small change in copy made me
stop and think ... I must face
the fact that the ads are a busi
ness necessity,” Mr. Chan said.
There should be a moral in this
Chinese restaurant story for any
retailer who assumes that old cus
tomers already know everything
about his business. For people had
been patronizing the House of
Chan for years without consider
ing it as a place to eat lunch.
AGRICULTURE—BIG
BUSINESS
Agriculture is the basis for the
; jobs of 37 per cent of all persons
, at work in this country and its pro
’ duction accounts for more than
, $100,000,000,000 in business. This

h REMEMBER":
i BV THE OLD TIMER:
From Mrs. Jeanette Turniansky,
Riverhead, N.Y.: I remember going
to the corner grocery store with a
pint jar and buying a “measure of
sour cream” for my mother. Other
times it would be a half pound of
butter cut in large irregular chunks
from a butter tub. There were
sacks of chic peas, barley, lima
beans and split peas standing on
the bare wooden floor. The odor of
freshly ground coffee always
greeted you. But best of all was
the fact that the grocer always said
a special “hello” with a gum drop
and knew every child by their first
name.
There was always a penny spend
ing money for my brother and I
when we came home from school.
Each penny was an adventure be
cause there was so much to choose
from behind the large glass show
case in the candy store. There were
chocolate babies, 5 for a penny.
There were barrels of wax with a
sweet liquid inside. There were
wax teeth, good for hours of fun.
Boxes of thin slivers of licorice
called “eats,” always seemed en
ticing. Licorice whips always made
the decision difficult. A yard of pa
per with small dots of candy on it
often won out because it was so
“shareable.” Whatever the choice,
it was always a big treat.
