I Your Ford Dealer Dial 6912 Mount Vernon, Iowa Ill Ill I I[ -- a 15 t If you have merchandise of merit, if you have goods that were bought right and priced right-- Then the more people who come into your place of business, the bigger your sales will be. If a hundred persons are attraeted to your store they'll buy ten times as much merchandise as if only 10 persons had called. Two salesmen of the same ability start out of a morning. One sees five prospects. The other sees ten prospects. At the end of the day the one who called on ten prospects will have twice as much business in his pocket as the man who limited himself to five prospects. That's the mathematics of selling and the mathematics of advertising. That explains the unfailing record of performance for those concerns that use advertising columns. The proposition is simple-- The Hawkeye-Record & Herald puts your story into more homes, de- livers your message into the hands of more buyers, gives you more sales contacts at lower cost, than you can attain in any other way. Reaching a lot of people, through a medium of established reputation, is the secret of successful advertising.
