Referring to the value of the daily newspapers as an advertising medium, Mr Harold McNab. of Boston, says :■ — "The best medium for advertising ,s undoubtedly the newspaper. The importance of advertising cannot be overestimated. The only way to make a big successful business is to advertise systematically. I hardly need assevt that the merchandise should back i'p the advertising. To "be a successful a!vertiser you must be a believer in vojr product. The public must be told the truth. If the public is deceived in the quality of the goods, then it loses con fiderice, and it is not long before the business is on the downward pathFraudulent advertising is probably trie worst curse in the advertising business."
