Brains says: A word to tho young man preparing to open a store of his own: When you get ready to tell the public what you are going to do, tell the public what you are going to do. Use plenty of advertising space to tell your story well and thoroughly, but tell it simply. Just get down to business and tell the people in short, simple words all about yonr new store and your new goods. Act like a solid business man, not like a fly-by-night fakir. The man who merely jumps up and down might as well stand still. "Soft and fair goes far in a day." Work up good solid busi­ ness methods. Coax and wheedle and suggest and argue--don't^fry to yank trado in by the hair. Ays Bill Nye once sagely observed, "Whemyou want to kiss a gir), don't grab for\it. Take your time--lt's'there."
