A BUSINESS TALK
IS
A capitaiin ofl American industry
once said: "One definite sugges
tion is worth a mountain of ge
eralities."
The Journafl has oine which
wishes to p.ass on to the busi
mess men o'f the south part
Andubon County.
It is that we should have more
special sales in our trade territory.
Like any other good thing, tlie
plan of holding special sales may
be abused and overworked but
when properly used, it seems to
be unquestionably the most effec
tive means known of keeping
trade at home
The' Journal! feels no hesitatiei:
in saying that a very large part
of the trade goes to the larger
towns, wihich are not far away,
goes in response to announe.
ments otf attractive bargain saile?,
and there is no question that
mail, order concerns live and pros
per by dangling constantly the
bait of tempting bargain offerings
before the eyes of the buying
public.
\A well planned special sale is
a good stimulant for any busi
ness, and the Journal is ready to
subscribe to t'he fact that as the
number of special sales put
by home merchants increases, the
amount of business going away
from home decreases.
This time of t'he year, just at'
ter the holidays there are odd
and ends in all general stocks
that should be cleaned up —so'.:
at bargain prices, to the buvli
public, who are looking for ji:.st
such snaps.
They are stimulators to tradr
audi wii.lll make room, lor your
spring stock, which looks better
flor their removal.
Run a good size ad, give your
prices like the mail order houses
does theirs, and get your cop.,
ready today,, before our prices
of ad.s ADVANCE.
We are all in business together
Iti the best sense the good
one is the good of all. The good
of all demands that business
kept active and lively al.l thi
time rather than by "fits aind
starus."
It can be done.
The Journal, has its part
perform! ini this work, aind. ii
wis'hes to perform it. It can ri
liver the publicity required, and
its advertising patrons can deliver
the good's that will satisfy its
buying readers.
Then why riot do some te:
work?
