What the Storekeeper Said "It's not so much what I put on my shelves as what I keep of f them that makes me a success," said a well known retailer. The only kind of goods I can make money on are the kind that keep moving. "I prefer newspaper advertise! products because it takes less time to sell them. "My clerks don't have to waste time explaining what they are people have read that information in the newspapers. "Presentation generally makes the sale. "Do I back up the manufacturer who advertises his .goods in the newspapers? You bet I do! That kind of manufacturer is making trade for my store."
