L “H. BUISCH, DAYTON, OHIO TALKS TO LIGONIER BUSINESS "~ MEN TUESDAY NIGHT

Emphasises Importance of Judiclous Advertising and Close Re- - lations In the Stere .

“Retail merchants of the United States are losing millions in sales annually because of their inability to grasp all of their opportunities.” This statememt was the keynote made by L. H. Buisch of Dayton, O, in a forceful address to merchants and salespeople of this city at the American Qafe Tuesday evening where a chicken dinner was served to twenty guests. . - : ;

~ Presifent F. E. Weir presided at the meting and intfoduced the speaker with appropriate remarks.

Mr. Buisch advocated generous use of newspaper advertising but criticized the methods of a great number of retail stores as being poorly planned lacking in sales appeal and inteljigence. '

“The results you get from Yyour newspaper advertising” he declared “wifl be exactly in proportion to the thought you put into it. Your display advertisements are an invitation to the people to come into the store and buy. It they are properly planned they will not fail to attract customers Then it is up to your salespeople. - It is useless for any merchant to spend his good money for advertising and then pay some ‘clerk’ to drive the customers out after he has succeeded i getting them into the store.” “Some people will run display advertising and then because they fail ta get a ‘kick’ out of it, blame the newspaper,” the speaker said. He cited case after case where the merchant 'who is advertising gives very little attention to the preparation and writing of his copy and then when he fails t 6 get the results which he thinks he should get, ‘blames the newspaper. The blame according to Mr. Buisch, is with the~merchant and especially those who when called upon by the ‘advertising solicitor will tell him to 2& the same ad which am:eared sev-

mm“”“ e e ' Mr. Buisch’s address abounded in practical ,;I%stnﬂons- of right and Wrong pri es in business, which were enthusiastically received by his hearers, Many of the suggestions that he offered were based on infor= mation and knowledge. he obtained 'while in this city. Graphic charts and diagrams were used by the speaker to~ shaw how merchants in- different 3511;;' ‘of the country have improved their business by increasing' the volume of sales and decreasing operating ‘expenses. Co-operation between mer¢chants sud salespeople; the developﬁn of better store spirit and thd igecom&! asity of everyone first selling him splf on the merchandise he has to sel) ’.tke customer, were some of the things impressively recommended. - - M. Buisch is a strong advocate of, training of retail salespeople in better selling methods. - ;

. At the-conclusion of his very illuminating address the speaker invited nqestions and a number of his hearers gained valuable information in mermerchandcing thereby. 5 Mr. Buisch represents the National Cash Register company and his institution maintains a bureau where free advice and information on all business question are given out
