Bargain Advertising
Much of the ordinary store ad-
vertising is a hand to mouth sort
of business; an effort to make to-
morrow's sales equal to today's or
yesterday's and this is just as true
of the department store as of the
smaller shop. The advertisement
appears in the morning and the
merchant figures out the net results
in the evening. It is true that the
bargain advertisements of today are
of little, if any, use next week. It
is forgotten in twenty-four hofir-;
but if the store makes a feature of
genuine bargains, then each bargain
sale helps to advertise the bargain
department. The advertising ought
to be done in such a way as to per-
manently a 1 vi-i tisi thif department
as well as to et: phasize the lmigains
of the day.
