Just as a lover would imperil his suit were he to sus pend his wooing for thre^ months, so does the me^ chant lose, perhaps for ever^ much of what he has gamed at great cost when he interrupts his wooing of the favor of the public. ^ . The merchant who suspends his advertising for the dull times is extravagant in the extreme. A suspension of advertising is mu1 sh the same as givi^ a sJes staflfs three months’ vacation, and leayilyi ig your customers to write in for what they may need, or to give thhiir iir orders to competitors who have not relaxed their selling efforts. Advertising is a sales agent whose work is red, positive and perceiv able though its influence and results m any given month may not be immediately calculable. Its worth is seen when sales are summarized and compared. - Plume 26, the Busihess Department of 1 ' ' '’'ft:- THE COWICHAN LEADER and you can obtain helpful advice on advertising! ■?m 1^ "'Mm THE COWICHAN LEADER HOTEL News of Cowichan Districts COBBLE HILL. witb pfttty French flowers and rib RTTZ bons of delicate pastel shades, carry The King ’s Daughters ing a bouquet of white carnations under tbe maDagement of lied with ribbons to n^alch those on the Cobble HDl hUl on We UMITte There was less meat bnl more green tcrd*r it WM announced that the stuff at Saturday ’s market, a good DUNCAN, V.
