That vital questions were settled decisively when printed by authority of an editor or publisher. When the early to rise and' late to rest system of storekeeping and the days of apprentices existed, and the lads leaned over counters all day and lay down under them to sleep at nights, there was little or no advertising. Merchandise was shown on pavement counters and outdoors to make its own appeal to the public, presenting a daily solicitation somewhat like this: "Wattled because it may be bought; Bought) because itmay.be wanted'' Nowadays, half of the daily newspapers, notwithstanding the high cost of white paper, are given up to the most extravagant and costly pages, single and double, of pictured broadsides, regardless of expense. The question of the high cost of advertise ments, and whether it is worth what it costs, is a live topic with merchants. The people are coming to know that there are always under the roof of this big, central building the largest and freshest assortments in the city, whether we so advertise or not. Signed Feb. 7, 1920.
