DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK- Tliai it is tlie get-together, stay- together and boost-together citizens that build a city. THAT a city that has built a reputation with industry and commerce should be a proud city. THAT all citizens should boost with real enthusiasm. THAT their city is worthy of their best endeavors. THAT the stay-backs and the pull-backs among their citizens often harm themselves more than they do their city. THAT city builders have en- thusia m. THAT enthusiasm is what starts things. THAT the city knocker lacks enthusiasm. His narrow mind never goes beyond his own pocketbook. THAT making trouble is his greal pastime. THAT trouble of that kind is very timid in the presence of optimism. THAT tliere should be an "OPEN SEASON" on city knockers. That i ity boosters should occasionally give a little of their careful and undivided attention to these pests. E. R. Waite. Secretary, Shawnee Oklahoma Board of (lommeree. R. M A PRESIDENT VISITS EUROPE. .1. ,\. Ihiniield. president of the Retail Merchants' Association of Can ada left Winnipeg recently on an extended trip to England and the i'onlinenl and docs nol expect to be hack until the middle of April. Mr Banfield's object in this trip is to make a close study of market conditions in the important manufacturing centres of the Old Laud. as well as in the larger cities of Krame. Germany and Belgium. This is nol Mr. Banfield's first visit abroad by any means. He used to cross the Atlantic regularly once every year, but has nol hecn since the war. Before leaving Winnipeg, Mr. Banfield staled that the year-cud business has been really better than was expected. It was at least '50 per cent, above the volume of one year ago, but he added, " il took 50 per cent, more effort to get it." lie feels that business nowadays, in view of competition, financial situation and the uncertain markets, is a case of (dose figuring and hard work. Some one, however, is buying all the time, he says, and the merehanl who goes after that someone hard euough \h the one who will get it. i 148 THE BRITISH COLUMBIA RETAILBB TALKING ABOUT ADVERTISING We fully agree with our friend, the editor of the ('. V. C. Outlook, w! ca he savs. '* Advertising, worked on a scientific basis, is a tremendous economic force, h is actual!) one ol the greatest forrr> operating in the world today. A- to w liether il is an asset or a liabilit) depends upon the way it is controlled, ll is fantasl i cally easy io lose a greal deal ol money unless the whole scheme ss ■ carried out with eare ami precision That advertising lowers selling cost can be proved by most successful ad vertisers." Many manufacturer w ; 0 by .judicious advertising, could no a doubt largely increase his business, A very often has the erroneous idea thai this expenditure for printer's ink would increase his cost of produe- tion. This, however, is not the i ase for the men who have made a stud)' of modern advertising have, perhaps rightly, come to the conclusion that their advertising is after all not paid for by themselves, nor by the public, but by the non-advertising competi tor.
