ADVERTISING.

We commend to the attention of business men,
the following article upon the subject of adver-
tsing from the Wheeling Times: #
GA friend remarked the other day that business
that is not worth advertising is not worth DOING
There much truth in the remark, but truth that does
to be appreciated by most of business
Many think to advertising is economy that it
reduces expenses that if they have but little business to
do it not worth advertising if they great deal there
is of advertising Is advertising less useful than
insurng?is it less than sign is it less essential to
good business stand? We think not. a does not
buy his goods to keep them hand If he did, it night
be we'll to insure without advertising Again,-adver-
tsing is like travelling sign. No business will
hesitate to pay twenty dollars for sgn where he would
think of paying half the sum for Advertising The
one is sign only by those who pass the store, and
the goods that for sale well as the sign
The advertisement is comprehensive sign that comes
under the eye OF hundreds who will the sign
the door; yet pretend to argue that because
some have done good business without advertising,
advertising is unnecessary They might well argue
that because have made money without indus
try, industry is unnecessary t.-'..J

leader-our old general has been beaten-he Is un-
lucky and we cannot consent to under him any

wards Washington? He was defeated dozen times,
and was sometimes chased blythe British for weeks to-
gether like fox before pack of hounds Did our an
cestors desert him because he had been defeated 1t is
true that there found few-a very fewwho, like

these spirits quickly hissed into silence
The men of that day said ' Washington has been faith

Lodi would ne have suatched standards and rushed up
