About Advertising.
We don't know who wrote the following item
about advertising; whoever did it was very SEN
I sible. The merchants and other business men
here and elsewhere, who advertise, are the ones
who omake the money. Some of our business
men advertise very literally, and we notice that
their places are always thronged with custom
ers We commend the following to all ofwhat
ever business or profession, who DO not adver-
tise. ,.-. ...s.-a .t, a., -..-t...lr
You sec goods al like girls-they must go
when they are in fashion and good looking, or
else yoke of oxen wouldn't draw them after
ward. The man that .advertises most docs the
most business, because he dontmake one stock
/ last one life time know merchant OF this
district who has Imported three different batch
es of goods within year from Europe, and he
is nearly sold outagain How does he and his
partner get rid of SO many goods? They adver-
tise more than all the rest put together
/ howl. will prove it. If you want to borrow
mOney--if you want, to lend money-if you
want to rent farm-if you have one to SELL
advertise. Ii your horse, COW, pig colt, sheep
or oxen goastray, advertise them right off, and
not run tlie chance of losing them altogether,
! having to pay as much as they are worm In
charge for keeping.
3 If YOU are a shoemaker, tailor,a blacksmith :,
wagoner, or any kind1of useful mechanic, show
| the people that You, are not ashamed of being a
mechanic, by advertising. If you keep hotfl,
make it known. When people see a man ad
-vertising they know he isa business man. The
world is full of folks you want. Some want to
sell, some want TO buy; and the only way to
meet these wants, and make money, is toadver-
tise-advertising is like money-4if followed up.
Merchants think nothing of paying forty dollars
for one sign, with nothing but their names on
it, Well, what do you think Of having 900
signs week in a newspaper In ityou show
your whole establishment to the country every
week.
There is no city, there is scarcely township,
which does not humber among its inhabitants
