To Advertise Your Business Is to Energize Your Business
The man who does not adver¬ tise is like the army that is always on the defensive.
HE MAY NOT BE FORCED to retreat, but it's reasonably certain that he won't advance.
THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES in the Telephone Directory makes a definite advance in the direction of more business.
HE SENDS AN APPEAL for trade into nearly every home anci business place in the commu-nity.
.HE MAKES IT EASIER for people to buy from him.
HE CAUSES HIS NAME, his product, his business to come to their attention many times each day.
HE GOES AFTER BUSINESS instead of waiting for it and when you get right down to it, he has no excuse fur doing otherwise, for Telephone Directory adver¬ tising rates are to low that they are wii'iin the reach of all.
