An exchange remarks: “There is only one right way to advertise, and that is to hammer your name, your location, and your business so persistently into the people’s heads that if they walk in their sleep they will constantly turn their footsteps toward your store. The newspaper is your friend in spite of your criticisms. It helps to build up the community that support you. When the day comes that the newspapers of a town are dead, the people are on the edge of thd grave with nobody to write their epitaphs.” ,
