Experience Shapes Fred Mann as Advertising Advocate
Fred P. Mann of Devil's Lake North Dakota, a seasoned merchant and frequent convention speaker, credits advertising with expanding his business from a small town operation of about 5 000 people to almost metropolitan proportions. He argues advertising is the greatest force in business and notes mail order houses’ success as part of his lesson.

Merchants urged to use strong advertising in towns
Mr Mann argues country merchants lag in advertising, likening their state to doctors and dentists. He says merchants must clearly tell what they sell and the services offered, or business will not come to them. He measures town vitality by its newspapers and sees Iowa towns losing business due to poor advertising.
