ADVANTAGE OF NEWSPAPER

Most of the advertising copy for
the fourth Liberty loan campaign was
of course prepared in advance.
During the campaign the circum
stances under which the bonds must
be sold underwent a radical change.
We went into the campaign on the
theory that the war was going to last
indefinitely, and the copy,
papers and magazines, was writ
Then, after
some of the advertisements had been

It had a dampening effect up
the sale of bonds. It became
necessary to disabuse backward sub
scribers of the idea that the war was
practically over and the government's
need of money less urgent. This in

In one city alone, says the Phila

vertisements were "scrapped" and
new ones, up to date in their appeal
in every particular, were prepared to
take their place. The German peace
drive became a factor in the news

in all other advertising it had to be 1

IF THE NEWSPAPERS
SHOULD SUSPEND.
The merchant who is content to
sell only his established trade is not ■
a successful merchant. He may sell
as many shirts, as many suits of un
derwear, as many blouses, as much
ribbon, piece goods, and other mer
chandise as he sold in any year in
the past, and his volume in dollars
and cents may be greater because of
higher prices, but no merchant is en
joying healthy growth unless he is
winning new trade all the time.
The folks who are supplying their
needs at a competitor's store are your
customers—if you can get them, but
you are not going to win them unless
you advertise yQur methods and your
merchandise to them in mediums
which they inrite into their homes
and for which they pay a price. The
most available medium for the retail
merchant is the weekly newspaper.
The newspapers of the country are
a vital necessity. If all newspapers
should suspend publication, it would
be a national calamity. You should
appreciate your newspaper and what
the publisher is doing for the com
munity, and how much he can help -
you, by advertising your store in his
columns consistently and continous - 1
