TIMES TYPE TALKS , TO Combat Mail Order Competition Published Id Co-operation with the NATIONAL BUY-AT-HOME MOVEMENT Httioul He*dqn*rtei s—Executive Offioes, Fort Wojse, ImL li a Business That Isn’t Worth Advertising Worth Patronizing ? Occasionally we see a man In buslneee—actually trylnjt to eatabllah a business—who aays he does not advertiae because be would bare to inci

his prices If he did.

It ia not often we see such a man In business because a man with such Ihnlted business vision seldom remains In business long enough to be The truth of the matter Is that the merchant who does not advertise and Increase his volume of sales must Increase hli prices on the limited amount of stuff he sells and actually charge more than the merchant who by the use of regular advertising turns his good* three or four times to the other fellow's once, it Is simply the old story of the nimble ntckle. The nationally advertised brands of goods, with tew exceptions, are the best and lowest-priced products that we can buy today. The big busy ■tore that advertises and draws trade for miles around Is always the best and cheapest place to trade, and has always been so. No one ever hears It said of the big mail-order houses that thalr great advertising expenditures In sending out millions of catalogs and foiltfw-up literature, Including large monthly supplements on groceries, clothing, dry goods, shoes, furniture, hardware, farm Implements, paints, wall paper, etc., made them charge more for their goods. But you do hear Just the opposite. Ask any farmer who buys goods of a mail-order house why he patronises them and he will tell you that he baUevsn be does a little bettor In the way of price. If you ask him why their prices are lower than the local stores, he will tell you that It Is because of the great amount of business they do through sending out eatalogB and other advertising matter regularly to every fans home

throughout the country.

- The home newspaper affords the oaly effective means of counteracting the trade-pulling Influence of these mail-order catalog* tg taking business away from your home community. By the use of regular apace in the local paper a merchant can soon educate the home folks to appreciate the fact that he la doing everything he can to sene them to the very best of his ability. This cannot be done aa Quickly and successfully in any other manner than by advertising. Advertising is the economic factor of business. Without It fsw buyers Would know of the exceptional values offered and the tarnover would be reduced to almost nothing. Merchants would be compellei to Increase their Prices In order to remain In business, and higher prices would mean fewer buyers and business failure to those merchants who have "not taken the time to study and learn the real value of persistent advertising. Of course, there are some moochera In buslneee who get by on the Other fellow's advertlalna and efforts “> boost business and keep It at home.
