tion Of retirement from business and The
public treat it as such. Or they may re-
gard it as evidence that something has
gone wrong in the business which requires
privacy from investigation. Whatever

our readers who may have fallen into the
common error Of the season, 10 come out
Of their holes, to put up their signs once
more, and to advertise in as many papers
as they did in the best times. While
business creates advertising, tits equally
true that advertising creates business it
creates talk and stir in business circles,
and reminds people that they have no
right to be leading drones' lives, even
though the Zines be dull. And even in
