company my business is too small says many a merchant when asked why he doesnt advertise but perhaps he doesnt know bout the grain elevator operator in north dakota more than 25 years ago this operator decided he should tell people- he jsold salt he could not spend much- money so he wrote this oneline reader ad i jsrarti salt and signed his name every week every year that reader ad appeared he estimates it has been the direct means of selling 13000000 barrels of salt which- reminds me of leave-lt-to- lyle lyle a stephenson decided to sell insurance he didnt have much money so too bought readers but what readers he sells in a city where advertising rates are high he pays 10 a lxne for his 2line readers at first ho couldnt buy many ads his business was too small but today 20 years laterhe buys a2rllnefront page reader every day it costs him more than 6000 a year what has happened lyle stephenson is internationally known people every day pfek up the newspaper in which he advertises and hook for his ad at the bottom of the front page they reach sucb copy as this jl wrote 11 policies mondy 7 tuesdy 4s 9 yestdy lcvulye thursday lyle keeps hammering away and people actually call him when they want insurance he is welcome in ever office in tbat city he is known to everyone why people almost consider it an honor to be solicited for insurance by leave-lt- tolme or as he some shortens it levitzlyle 7 in the faeeof his 20iyear use of read ers i didnt have the nerve to ask him if they pay him that is obvious but when i asked him what he had to say to others whose businesses must start from small beginnings he replied tell them newspaper advertising is the most power ful thing there is tell them to got started to keep it up and tjioee jsrnall businesses are bound to grow just as mine has se let the advertisements be your guide 7
