THE SEcaEr or SUCCESS IN RusrNEss.-We
clip the following from the Syrcuse Union
and recommend Us truth to the considerA-
ton Of our friends: "when you find man
doing more buis6ess than you are, look at
the advertisements he has in the papers. The
business man who puts his sign in the news
papers, does much wiser thing than when
he fastens It over his store, and who would
think Of neglecting that The man who
advertises ia forms the public that he wants
trade, and bis card in the newspapers is an
Iinvitatiou to customers 10 come and buy.
Where one person reads ID the street, five
hundred read it in the papers. No matter
how well business man is known he can
always pick up rev customers it he will
take pains to let them know where he is and
what lie has 10 sell. No one can afford not
to advertise !; for BY neglecting the means Of
securing trade he loses the best part Of bis
profits"
