So he got & job in another man'a store, rose at 5:00 a. m., swept the store, clerking during the^ day, and re- arranged things at night, often working unUl 10:00 and 11 00 p. m. But he was learning the bus- inewf. After two year* he quit, borrowed 12,200 at a local bank and in 190ft started a little store lite gave his patrons service, the like of which had never been seen in that community. Nor had the local paper ever seen such adver- tising as he began to invest tat. His business jnr»w, and kept on growing. H*: built additions to the store, and £nen outgrew the addi- tions. Taiay he has a department store wttfa 37,000 square feet of floor space. Here Is a message from Mr. Andersen to other mer- chants: \If I were to start business again today 1 would spend five per cent of my gross sales in adver- tising,\ says Mr. Anderson. \It pays. . x^L - \I have no sympathy yrith the awrcbant who sleeps between ad blankets, on a be4 of & .tea * 3St, p.tettu Bowses Brie city -ia.
