Show Barnum to Business Men. The great showman knows the value of ad vertising from experience. Lately, in a lecture at Bull's Opera Huuse, Mid-dletown, Mid-dletown, N. Y., he said: "In order to do business successfully, you must advertise. That will get you patrons. Then satisfy your customers, and they will all become walking advertisements ad-vertisements for you. It will not do to stick out a little sign and then take it io apain. A man who had not succeeded suc-ceeded in an enterprise, said to him, 'Why, I did! I did advertise! I put an adverti.-ement in ticice and it cost me three dollars, but it did not seem to make any difference!' 'My friend,' said Barnnm, 'people don't read an advertisement adver-tisement the first time. Hammer away on the nail until you clinch it' If a man advertises fifteen times and has not the foresight or courage to do it the sixteenth, it will do him little, if any good. Keep doing it! A half dose of medicine only makes yon qualmish, and does you no good. Take a whole do-e. Advertise! snd sell your goods or the sheriff will advertise and do it for yon." |
