ADVERTISING A SUCCESS IN BUSINESS
The New York Tribune has the following upon
the value of advertising, and every practical
business man will confirm what it says Of the
present state OF business ;'Prudcncc and
economy, of course, arc the two great lessons
to be learncd but there is one part Of these
lessons which, in dull times is especially apt to
be forgotten. Bc sure OF one thing; what
ever you have to sell, there arc many people
ready to buy, even in the most depressed sea-
sons. Find them out; show them your wares;
persuade them to buy of you rather than
another, When buyers arc reluctant, sellers
must be active. It is neither cheap nor sens-
bic to sit still behind your counter and wait
for the hustle Of trade to revive; When bust
ness is dull, that is Che very time to advertise
In the first place, that is when you most need
to advertise; aud in the second, that is when
people devote most time to reading. the news
papers, and when your advertisement consc-
1ucntly is most generally seen A few dollars
thus invested will do morc-to revive Il sluggish
business than anything else in tie world"
