I Mi'i-ehants who spi:nd time crying aliiinl. new or outside firms takins their hiisiness away from them, bui aliul tlieir eyes to the very evident cause and reason for it, can't blame anyone but themselves if their business busi-ness goes "Hooey." If business isn't good with you, "beefing" about it all the time won't improve it. Who wants to do business busi-ness with a constant calamity howler howl-er anyhow? Business Is good there is more busisess toUay than there ever was tht only difference is there are more and keener concerns after it. Everybody knows that your customers cus-tomers included. If you are not getting the business, It's not your customers' fault. , You can get the busisess i you will rid yourself of old superstitions and prejudices; if you will take away the nickel you are holding so close to your eyes that you can't see the . Urn dollar bills on the other side of Jit; if you will recognize that modern buyers don't and won't do business I with old-fashioned sellers, unless j they have to and then do something jiibout it, instead of standing around, j ringing your bands and crying j a bou l it. If you don't invito the I people to do business with you, don't give them, consistently and persistently, persis-tently, every reason why they should do business with you, you surely won't fc'ct their business, but the fellow fel-low that does, will. Now, you don't have to do this it's your business and you can run it to suit yourself, but if you won't do if, don't blame anything or anybody but yourself if your business goes on the rocks and your customers forget for-get you- Don't got sore at your newspaper, either, if it accepts outside advertising advertis-ing copy. If you don't want the business bad enough to ask for it, don't kick if others, who know how to sell, ask for it, and get It. Copyright, 1929, Dykstos, Inc.
