THERE'S one muscle in the human anatomy which was named by a humorist with boarding-house experience. It is called the "boarding- house muscle" because it is the muscle which enables yoji to extend your arm--and reach. It took its name, of course, from the dining-tables of boarding-houses, where to reach far was to get more to eat at a table where everybody was so engrossed . in his plate he didn't have the time or the inclination . to pass anything to anyone else. Reach won. In business it is reach also that wins. One of the chief values of advertising to Charles Roth the advertiser is that it gives him a reach for customers. Every business must both reach customers and reach for them if it is to exist. The business man whose reach is longest or most skilled is the man who brings the most customers into his store. And those who reach the best have the best stores and can give the best values. The chief concern of every business is its customers. Who are they? Where do they live? Why should they trade with me? How can I tell them of the advantages of my business? Every business man asks these questions. Every successful business man answers them. In the reach for customers, it isn't a muscle which does the trick. It is advertising. A man starts a store. Somewhere are men and women who should buy from him. He is sincere in his desire to serve. But unless he does something about it, his store will fail before enough customers find their way to his doors. He has to reach out fdt them. He begins to advertise where customers will see--in the newspaper. One reads. He is convinceid. "He goes to the stbre. He is well-treated. He buys. He likes what he bought. He returns to buy again. Gradually, as more advertising appears, more customers come, buy, return to buy again. The reach for customers is building a great business. But don't you see that the business man is not the only one whe has benefited in the process? Every customer who found there a better place to buy, a place where he could get a little bit better merchandise and a little bit better service at a little bit better price, also benefited. The customer benefits as much from advertising as the business I man, if not more. • Charlea B. Hath. Noe® Mi'moAT will be fa Dr. A. i!
