$1,000 a Day for Advertising.
A writer in Scribuer's Mairiuin
for January says one store in Phila
delphia spends $1,000 a day for tid
vertisiug and that many others in
the same city spend $500. As they
have been investing thoso amounts
in advertising for a number of years,
aud are still doing so, it may be tak
en for granted that they havo found
it to pay. This is because tbey un
derstand how to udvertiso, and do
so judiciously, just as careful busi
ness men conduct other branches of
their business. Just us surely as
advertising pays tho larger stores
will it pay the Biuallor concerns, if it
is properly attondod to, by which is
meant proper working, attractive
display and the use of uewspnpers
that are read by the buying com
munity, aud above all, the ability to
supply tho article advertised. In ad
vertising there should bo no decep
tion.
