To advertise. If business Is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.
