ie simply written by a merchant and
almply gives facta, and boom advice
in It may be helpful to you:
The greatest trouble in moot smell
cocam uni ties is that the merchants
as a general rule, thinks that aa an
insertion of a email ad doesn't hasp
them and their Merit Jumping to fill
ordan, it doesn't pay to advertise.
And also they do not pay enough at
tention to this most important part
at their business.
As a general rule, in hie ad writ
ing, whan ha finally dees decide to
inveet a few ftnsys with the heal
paper, he waits entil the last poasi
ble moment before getting the printer
the copy and then scribbles only a
few general remark* that the public
already know*, each at, be it a gro
cery store: “We have eager, lots of
It,” end signs kit nanm. and the
same way with the dry gbods stare:
"We handle shirts, socks," and so an
through the different Unet af busl
nem. Bet some pep into you and give
the people the Inducements that oth
ers are doing and it wOl pay to ad
