HOW GORDON PUT IT OVER.
AN INTERESTING story of modern business success - : 1 of a
certain young man who had the faculty of utilizing the wonderful op
portunities which are lying all about us.
■ One bright morning this alert individual stepped into the office of
the leading newspaper of a certain town in Indiana, and without form
of ceremony asked the editor: * “What rate will you m kt- me on at
least two full pages of advertising each week for a year?"
The editor almost collapsed in his chair, for never before had a
question of that kind been put to him. Bracing himself fin;::!;-, he said:
“Who are you. and what business are you in?" The young man replied:
“1 am John Gordon and I’m figuring on opening a general merchandise
or department store in the new Odd Fellows building on Main Street and
want to get prices on advertising.”
Satisfactory arrangements were quickly made and due time
the store was opened. The attractive full page of small-panel illus
trated displays, together with short, interesting descriptions of each
item advertised, furnished some mighty interesting reading for ’he thrifty
people of the town and countryside.
Gordon’s shrewd business judgement in realizing the great pur
chasing power of the twenty two hundred homes that th‘ local paper
went Into every issue and which was read by over eleven thousand peo
ple, made his new venture an immediate success.
The live, snappy, descriptive advertising caused a sensation among
the local merchants when his full page appeared, and in the frequent
discussions they all agreed that this new "upstart" would last about
sixty days at the most if he continued to spend money so foolishly. Then
as Gordon continued to do a flourishing business at the expiration of thp
sixty days, they said: “Well, six months will surely be his limit.”
Gordon’s business grew rapidly and additional clerk« were added
from time to time. His large attractive descriptive advertisements of
special merchandise offerings proved more interesting to the housewives
of the community than any of the large catalogues nr supplements of the
big mail order houses.
One morning Gordon had not sent over his “copy" as promptly
as was his custom. His business was crowding him and there was con
siderable work attached to selecting the different articles of merchandise
to be advertised. The editor finally decided to run over to the store
and Becure the “copy.”
Threading hta way through the crowd in the aisle than morning,
he found Mr. Gordon seated at an ordinary kitchen table in the rear of
his establishment busily engaged in writing “copy.” To the editor’s sur
prise he saw several large mail-order catalogues opened before him,
from -which he appeared to be copying the descriptive matter for use in
hia own advertising
Time went on and Gordon became firmly established. He still
uses full pages of Interesting store-news bulletins most every issue of
the home paper, and the housewives of the town and country have become
accustomed to watching for them regularly.
And today hundreds of live progressiva business men are adopting
the “Gordon” method of quickly building business and keeping trade at
home. Thoafe interesting descriptive store-news advertisements have
checked mail order and out-ot4own buying and thousands of dollars are1
being saved the home community; stimulating local real estate and farm
values, and also increasing population and commercial development, af
fording better municipal conditions and financial security.
Bn .this affe and da^ the “Gordon*’ may is. the moat and suerensfn|
