That store which cannot "mako'advertlsing pay" does

not justify its own existence, and might as well close its doors.

What does it mean ,whenadvertlsing does not “pay” a

store?

Simply that that particular store has nothing to commun-

icate to the public WHICH WOULD INTEREST THAT PUBLIC IN WHAT IT HAD T0 SELL. And truly; a store which can offer no real public service, which can offer no distinctive values to patrons, which would sutfor in comparison with other stores IF THE LIGHTS WERE TURNED UPON ITS POLICIES AND PRICES, may not hope to make advertising pay."

The true test, therefore, of a store's ,usefulness is in the

extent to which it DOES MAKE ADVERTISING PAY. For good advertising ls merely a dissemination among the people of tho truth about a store-a daily summing up of what it offers of buying-advantage to the people. If the truth about a store helps the store to win patronage, then advertising pays. If it eliminates patronage, then adver- tising does not psy.

Just as he must buy the right kinds of goods, so must he

buy the right. kinds of newspaper space. .

Just as he must buy his stocks in sufilcient QUANTITIES

TO SECURE THE MOST FAVORABLE PRICES, so he must buy .his advertising space in sufficient amount t0 secure ADEQUATE PUBLICITY. ' 4 lf he bought stock sparingly, timidly. in almost retail quantities, he could not hopo to sell profitably, in competition with tho merchant who buys liberally and who secures every price-advantage. And if he buys his adver- tising space sparingly and uses it intermittently, he is at a like ilisridvantage.

A great many people in the community judge your storc's

COMPARATIVE IMPORTANCE almost solely through the COMl’AliA'I`lVE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR AI)\’ER'I‘lS~ ING-perhaps giving first place, in their favor, to a less important store because of its more important advertising.

If your store is bigger or better, than the other fcllow`s

store, see that your advertising is bigger and better than tho other fellow's advertising!

MARITIME itscnulrlno

Nr M. ltlarkenzie, Vaifcouver, B.C.. iii a recent issue of

thc Toronto Globe. takes exception to some recent com- ments in that journal on what it calls the “small enlist.- ment of soldiers front the Eastern Maritime Provinces as compared with “that from the other l~lmzlisl\»speaki|ig pro- vinces." Mr Ilfaekenzie'points ottt that surli eulistineiit. as the Maritime Provinces have given has been “largely native born-in the case of Prince Edward island wliolly native born-and at present there is no part of the Dominion that has so few young men of fighting age to

spare." _

t‘oiitinuing, Mr Mackenzie says-and those who liiioiv

this province as he evidently docs will agree with him:

“A visit to the Island Province will, l know too well,

reveal the fact that out of large families oi". say, live sons. one is at home, the only helper ol' his parents, and the other four are in the west.; and this condition is more or less typical of the whole of tho Maritiine l’rovinces. it is, therefore, unfair to fathers and mothers of these parts to represent that their sons are noi. taking their full part in the present. strttggle, wifhnut first ascertaining how malty of them are actually enlisted in all Canadian reginients.

" One family alone from my native village has given

three sons. and one of them is already killed. lic enlisted ln Winnipeg and the other two in Vancouver. Superficial comparisons are apt to be unfair, and l feel sure that wlicn a record is taken of the Canadian fathers and mothers who have given their sons to their country in the present crisis, those from the Ecastern Maritime Proviiiccs will be found to have contributed their i'ull share."

When the whole world is going through such a measure-

less tragedy we seize upon the few gleanis of light. (ine of them is that people now are less serious about their private grlefs than they were thirteen months ago. Millions of bereaved. not feeling their losses less, arc more heroic in the spirit of acceptance, more ashanied to cmpliasisc the private fate. They see it all more under the aspect of eternity. When we have ceased to cry too iiiiit-li alioiit, our own individual sufferings we have iitwiiity gnm., fm- along the road to holiness and wisdom.-Ex.
