MERCHANT i K i Cape May is a summefl resort and during the summer is so overcrowded ■ Jgf that business is just pushed into your doors by the throng. So -much so, perhaps, that you have all that you and your clerks can do. That's wfiw' ! business is good and you advertise. YOU don't find business then. It finds ,00.

W ® Possibly you will : say, "I don't need to advertise- I've been in this town for JB I ten years and everybody knows me." - . A Probably they do, but did you ever stop to think of the sales you lose H !( because your fellow competitor advertises, or of how much more business you would do if you did advertise? Everybody may know you and what * business you are in, but everybody needs reminding continually that you have something to sell that they need. A Advertising today, especially in newspapers, is the greatest business H A getter there is. This is acknowledged by men who know; people read ad- as , Bi ft vertlsements in newspapers- They have been educated to do ma Every merchant and business man in Cape May ought to advertise. It will in- m s crease their business and build up the dty from a summer resort to a year V t| round town. 6 You remember the story of John Wanamaker.' The first day he was in A S business his receipts were $24.64. He kept the 64 cents and spent the $24 .. H. n ■ the next day for advertising. We can't all duplicate that performance be7 cause we can't all be John Wanamakers, but according <p the best statistics V ^ three per cent, of gross sales should be put into advertising.

A newspaper can hring, people to Py jV, ■- your store or other place «f business, but it can't make people buy your , M S goods. You or your clerks must do that and It depends on the service you •> give as to how successful your business will be ,and -*hat results you will . B t , derive from your advertising.

Stored -up Sunshine of Other Ages Is Handled Down as & Heritage to Modern Civilization (Tori Jn Eight "skoRhao) By JOHN RAYMOND , »* No. VI y. PREHISTORIC SUNSHINE r — — —

Coal may v" -i>e described as presunshine. Ages before the dawn of our own era vast forests covered large portions of the earth's surj face.

That seemed to be the limit-of its pos- : sibilities a; few years ago but today it would be Tlifncult to enumerate all the , articles of commerce extracted from its by-products. , ... ' Coal contains. a- little of everything that goes (6 make up trees but it would be a mistake to imagine that ! everything that comes . out of coal tar j is contained Within it. While Ujere are ' only about a dozen primary products' ext.actcd from coal tar, from'these ihe . chemist is able to develop hundreds of . thousands of new substances. . This is synthetic chemistry, or the process of , building up intricate compounds step by step, -j , c .Raw material for the development of these coal tar by-produefs — war mate- : rials, fertilizers, colors,- drugs and a hist of other things — exists in abundance in this country, but wc must be ..." •—•i- • ,cd jn our futurs :ca in our luiur:
