Some business men say, "I know that advertising is all right and makes business, but I can't afford it. "It's too expensive." A progressive business man cannot afford to be without it. A good advertisement costing from $50.00 to $60.00 per month will sell several times as many goods as the salesman who draws such a salary. As an experiment, take the same amount you pay your best salesman and put it into good, common sense advertising for three months. That money if spent with the Tribune will take your store news into many thousand families every day at buying time and tell them why they should visit your store or use your goods.
