Hard times
are good times
sometimes!
Hard times frighten your
competitors. And their sales-
people are licked before they
start because the “boss” is blue.
But it’s an ill wind that blows
nobody good. If a business de-
pression makes your competi-
tors lie down, then business de-
pression is an opportunity for
you.
The right sort of business
man tries to turn obstacles into
opportunities—and hard times
are no exception.
You have the store. You
have your salespeople. Add to
these the vitalizing power of
newspaper advertising and you
have a time-tested formula for
*
turnftfg hard times into good |
times. |j
