But during a long lifetime, the man who made it found some Tyay to advertise it. At first, just a sign over his little soup kitchen, a few newspaper ads, a few billboards. But as the advertising grew, so did the business. Now the business employs thousands of workers, helps to support tens of thousands of retail clerks and transporta tion men, and gives the house wife a better, cheaper soup than she could prepare at home. Back of every heavily ad vertised article is a romantic story of this kind—the kind of romance that built America. Courtesy Nation’s Business “EVERYBOBY KNOWS WHERE MY STORE IS’^ Says A Local Businessman “So Why Should 1 Advertise” SURE THEY DO.... BUT does everybody who knows where your store is BUY THERE ? CERTAINLY NOT.... And furthermore it will be impossible to get everybody to trade at this one store. ) K- BUT.... A remarkable increase, more sales, more profit, and a steadier business can be built by the careful usage of ad vertising at a cost reasonable in comparison to the re sults obtained. THE LEAST EXPENSIVE METHOD TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED RE SULTS IS BY USING THE COLUMNS OF — THE JOHNSTONIAN-SUN Your customers read it and many who are not now customers but can be future customers — NEWS — FOR THE READER — RESULTS — FOR THE ADVERTISER
