"It will be well for every unmarried
person whosa net income lor 1917 is
il,000 or over, and every married person
living with wife or hurband whose net in
come for 1917 is $2,000 or over to call on
the income tax man and learn whether or
not they have any tax to pay." Collector
Craig said today: "The person subject to
tax who doesn't make return in the time
prescribed, is going to regret it." The
Government will get after all income tax
slaakers.
'There's hardly a bnsiness man, mer
chant or professional man who won't have
to make return ol income. Farmers, as a
class, will have to pay the tax. The safe
thtng to do is for every person who has a
total income of $1,000 or $2,000, as the
case may be, and who is not sure about
what deductions the law allows him, to
play it safe by calling on the income tax
man."
'The man in the field will have forms
for every body and persons who expect to
call on him need not trouble fhemselves
to write the Internal Revenue Office for
them." E. B. Craig, Collector.

ADVERTISING PAYS
Bradstreet's says that "eighty-f our per
cent of all failures are among non-adver-tisers!"
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.
