The purpose of store advertis
ing is not merely to sell goods,
but to sell more goods to make
friends, build up a patronage that
will not only stick but grow.
Newspapers reach the greatest
number of people in the immedi
ate vicinity in the most natural
way, at the least expense, and
they are therefore the bfcst of all
mediums for stores. In a news
paper you follow ' the lines, of
least resistance you follow with
the stream you talk to an au
dience already assembled, to the
I je who want to readtheii
mental cosmos is right they are
on your wire, ancthey won't

Attraction is the basis oi alt ad
vertising the: store is the sun,
the customers the planets that
revolve around it.
