Measurements and ads reveal store wisdom
A large store should avoid small ads or half page space. A chest sized 44 inch frame should not wear a 34 inch coat. Full page ads signal ambition and success. A big store running small ads undermines its enterprise and risks not prospering or presenting itself well.
