The country merchant deplores the fact that the mail order houses of the big cities are making inroads on his patronage. How do they do it? Did they send representatives into the rural communities to solicit trade ? Did they simply open their places of business and wait for customers? They did not. The obtained all—not a part, but ALL—of their patronage by the use of printers’ ink. They advertised. Some day the small town merchant will realize the importance of advertising as a factor in business but in many cases the awakening may come too late.
