ON ADVERTISING.
?>•- The merchant who does not adver
i
1 is like the fellow who throws a
<dss to his sweetheart in the dark—
^ he knows what he is doing, but no
' one else does.
Here is one for the fellow who
thinks he does not have to advertise
because he has been in business so
long that every one knows him—
while he is keeping quiet about his
merchandise, the catalogue houses
and mail order concerns are getting
acquainted with his companies. You
notice they keep right on advertising,
going after the orders and getting the
business the local dealer ought to cor
rel. Good advertising is a magnet
that draws trade.
Wake up, Mr. Oldtimer. Although
you have been in the community so
long that you are a landmark, so long
that some folks with grown children
count you among their earliest recol
lections—you need to advertise just
the same. Have you heard of any
big store in the city that has stopped
advertising because it is so well
known? Keeping everlastingly at it
brings success.
Some of you dealers waste so much
money in misdirected advertising.
You pay for space on a hotel room
placard that is read by a lot of trav
eling men who do not trade with you.
You allow some advertising fakir to
hornswoggle you into buying space in |
a program, book or directory that is
not worth one-tenth the price you pay
for it. Money you spend in this way
would purchase a lot of good space in
the Independent, which is read by a
thousand of more people every day
who are your prospective customers.

RED cross.
The Red Cross is the medium
through which those who wish to
serve their country can do so to an
almost unlimited extent. You can
help by giving money; you can help
by giving your time; you can help
by talking Red Cross; ‘you can help
by saving old scraps of cotton and
wool; you can loan the chapter your
sewing machine. There is no use in
saying: “I’d like to help but there’s
nothing I can do.” You can do some
thing! Talk, live, and do RED
CROSS from morning untill night.
Talk it until people get tired of lis
tening and then keep right after
them until they'are educated up to
what Red Cross work really is. The
organization is here to stay, not only
through the duration of the war, but
through the duration of all time.
America has needed a great humani
tarian force through which it might
reach the unfortunate. We’ve got it
Let’s hold on and work—work with a
smile. Now is the time to volunteer.
