That's because he thinks! His Uiinking tells him hat whert times are good everybody has money and it isn't hard for his ad to reach as many customers as he needs to buy his stock of goods say 50 out of every hundred people, or 50 per cent. But when times are bad, perhaps only 50 people out of ever hundred spend easily. He knows that where his average adver tisement reached 50 spenders out of the hundred in good times, in hard times the same advertisement, with the same reach ing power, will still reach 50 per cent of the 50 spenders, or 25. But that's only half of what he is accustomed to and needs; now he must have all or nearly all the 50 spenders in order to equal his good times business. So he girds up his loins, fixes up a bigger ad, a wallopingly attrac tive ad, and if h spenders, he comes pretty near to it. That is the system of the biggest, shewd est advertisers in America. You didn't see them cutting their ads last year. You just simply saw them making their advertise ments bigger, stronger, more intelligently drawing. That's why they are rich John Wana maker, for instance, And mind this: The figuring and the prin ciple involved takes no account of whether the advertising is done in New York or Lumberton. The figuring is done on per centages of people. The principle is the same whether your business has been ac customed to deal with 1 ,000 people a ro'und you or whether you have been ac cutomed to deal with one million people around you.; If you did a satisfactory business in a community of 1 ,000 in good times, you can do a reasonably good business in poor times. When few people have money, you must get a greater percentage of that few than you got before of the many. You do it by ; v, , ADVERTISING. .
