Phone 30-371. BIGGER BUSINESS FOR 1932 Pursue an Aggressive Policy. Pursue an Aggressive Policy. i Pursue an Aggressive Policy. A message appropriate to the present time is contained in a speech by Francis H. Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust Company:— "Our problem is to overcome the paralysis of fear and timidity and get that fine, free flow of wise spending back into the streams of business. Many things can cause increased buying on the part of the public. A most important factor is directly in the control of the manufacturer and the seller. It is his own power to induce customers to buy his product. We are never helpless, no matter Aow buffeted by economic storms. Intelligent, well-directed efforts to distribute our products or services are more important even in bad times than in good. An aggressive policy of selling and advertising gives the progressive, courageous concern a head start and a lead which is usually maintained." UNRIVALLED MEANS OF CONTACT. Business men in Ellesmere have an unrivalled means of contact with every resident in the district by using space in the Guardian. Than well-planned advertising, there is no more effective nor ultimately cheaper form of publicity. Courage, rather than caution, should be their watchword.
