THE MEN WHO DON'T ADVERTISE.

"The successful business man will convince jou in a very little while that judicious advertising does pay and pays big-" To begin with, it is admitted that that niau does not live in this progressive day—that is the man who doesn't advertise himself—or his business—at least by his own personalty.

But thiq is directed to the business man who does not advertise his business as it should bo advertised by present-day advertising.

You'v run across a man in business almost every day who tells you that he does^ not advertise—that it is too expensive—doesn't pay. But the man is fooling himself. He does advertise in apersonal way and he is paying a price f<»r the advertising that he is not get ting.

He's paying for advertising. He may think that his business does not need to bo ad veil. used. There isn't any question about the business needing advertising—a business does —and its it needs advertising and does not get it he is paying for the advertising at a greater price than so much per inch. He is paying in time that he loses in turning his stock, in marketing hit product, or selling his service—in the opportunities of business that are getting by because he fails to tell his business stoiy in a convincing way. Time was - and not many years ago —when many businesses were run without telephones.. But the man who runs a l.usinftss to-day has his telephones a id cousiders them a profitable investment or pays fur them in the business that is lost.

Before tho advent of the steamship the rail rod d, the trolley, and the auto* mobile to annihilate time and distance almost everybody knew the man in business - that is all of those who weie his possible customers—who' did not advertise

But with tho advent of all modern necessary conveniences -including ad vertising—making it as easy to trade one place as another, to get anyone of many different products in the same line, to secure the services of one man the fame as another—distance making no particular difference—the world made a long step forward. , And advertising has come to be the principal factor in this new state of business—as the compelling factor of business.

'^he man who advertises helps his business in two ways, he is taking advantage of the possibilities of more business and he is living up to the possibilities of better business. Always and forever he is going forward—he is setting a new pace each day, week, month and year and using every ounce of his ability to live up to it.

And after his day's work he goes to the quiet of his home or for an evening of entertainment without the worry of where business is coming from for the next week, or month, or year. Advertising gives him faith and confidence in himself and his business, because it gives the publio faith and confidence in him and his business.

Advertisingmakes him see his business problems with a clearer vision and he goes at them with a greater energy and enthusiasm. The successful busiuessman will coi^ vince you in a very little while that judicious advertising does pay, and pays big.
