Which, considering the source of the de claration, is pretty conclusive proof that ad vertising pays. t When Bradstreet's says that only sixteen per cent of business failures are among ad vertisers the statement has real significance. No business firm ever became truly great except by the aid of advertising! Like competition, advertising is the life of trade." Without it, in modern days and under modern business conditions, no com mercial or other business concern can achieve that it can with it. That is axiomatic, ' as every successful business man will attest. Outside, possibly, of personalty and in tegrity, advertising is the mightiest force, positive and potent, in present-day com merce and' business. Atlanta Constitution.
