IIow to talk to the greatest possible number ot people In a day mis
been a study of all men who have led In projects whose tw<ves4 depended
upon the colume of patronage or support at the hands of the people. Lend
ers iu the exploits of war or in business or other lines have appreciated
the necessity of reaching the ear of the greatest number of people in the
* .ortesc possible time.
In olden days the merchant sent his agents through mo countryside or
t e city or awaited for one person to convey the news to another, or :alKcd
up his wares over the counter to one individual at a time. It was a Ions
and tedious process and returns came slowly.
.Now the merchant who does business on modern p;titeiples does not
wail for the patron to come down town or make a trip in from the country
and sacrifice hours or days to learu what is on sale. People have learned
t..at there is little need of giving up so much time waen the daily paper is
u.ediuia of distribution of store nevs as '.veil as current events of the
llw y.
The buying public is quite as anxious to get store news each day as
it is to get news of social or other current events.
The live merchant has awakened to tHis fact. and. instead of waiting
for people to str-jll in'o his place, one at a time, to learu what he has on
ti.o shelf. he ruts the whole story iu the paper.
The man behind the counter can talk to one ntun at a time. The
i ;"'r talks to hundreds at one time, and talks to th?m every day. The
i:.or:il is clear. Those who are receiving new goods—often goods for
