Advertising
Is the exponent to good business. Luck is just another name for good, hard per- sistent plugging. Luck is with the mer- chant who advertises, not because he advertises, but because he keeps on advertising indefinitely-which-
Means Success
Some Directory "Dont's"
Don't put your Directory in an out of the way place, but keep it in a place that your customers can see and use it without stopping some one to find it.
Don't think that a Directory is paying for itself unless you use it any more than an idle clerk can make you money.
Don't look mad when a customer asks to look at your Directory.
Don't look happy when a neighbor wants to borrow your Directory, for if you do, he will borrow again and if all were borrowers, when would the next Directory be pub- lished?
Don't forget that an up-to-date City must have a Di- rectory and a merchant that has no Directory is what?
Don't forget that a Directory borrower today will for- get to return it tomorrow and you call him what?
Don't forget that the man who has a Directory pays for it and the borrower gets for nothing what another man pays for. What do you call him?
