Tb hls [mind, such events brbught many people to the town who[ mlgbjt nbt come otherwise, and they were-bound to spend sonae money With the shopkeepers., As an enthusiastic advertiser, he[was keeidy Interested In the different methods of publicity.


i - Mentioning that he took space In the


“Advertiser arid Times,” Mr. Leach, speaking of advertising, said [that what sucqess he had achieved In business was malnto due to Press advertising. “ I have advertised weekly since I opened my shop] seventeen years ago, arid I advise those who have not done sj)'to try an advertisement fdr twelve months. They will be amazed a.!; the results,”] Mr. Leach declared. Somfe might say [they could hot afford to advertise, but If jhey would forego the money spent each week on clgarrttes and ' put It Into £]dvertlsfng, they jvould morelthan recoup themselves.


Mr, Leach went on to say tliat he wab


always I lihpressed with thb .look of prosperity In fcfipheroe.IHe did not know whef ler It was a false impression or not, but !e had observed that the^! were riot Invaded to the same extent .’by multiple and * chain stores* as In larger towns.
