Can the truth of this statement be successfully disputed? And here is another equally true statement: The public buys from those who invite its custom. All of us, instinctively, go where the light is, not where the darkness is. Advertisements are light, and so they attract the buyers to those stores which they illumine. It is the same in the case of men. Few men buy impulsively. When they leave home each day for their place of employment, it is not just to get rid of their money. What they buy is, mainly, something whose purchase has been plannedâ€"clothes or other forms of apparel, hardware items, motoring sundries, shaving and other bathroom needs, plants, books, and so on. Men, like women, have been reading advertisements in line with their ripening desires and intentions, and of course they go in largest numbers to those retailers who have been informing them and soliciting their custom. Every woman knows what she wantsâ€"not perâ€" haps in the precise form or color, or variety or manner, but certainly in the main matters of her desire or need. This applies to clothes, hats, shoes, food items, beauty preparations and many items pertaining to home furnishing. And so women are eternally on the watch for informationâ€"and for temptation! They are swiftly perceptive of the advertisements which present and propose the things of their desire or need. And obâ€" viously it is those retailers who advertise to them who stand the best chance of their custom. Watch in your own home how The Waterloo Chronicleâ€"or any other good newspaperâ€"is read. The main headlines on the front page are scanned ; but it is a pretty safe thing to say that women readers will turn very early to the advertisements of local firms which advertise fashion items, food items, and other offerings related intimately to current needs and deâ€" CHRONICLE D.
