ing, from the TACT tnat see respectable
number of our own business men are rep
resented in your columns. There is a
marked change in the business prospects
of this place since our merchants began
to advertise. They are doing better
business, look and act more cheerfully,
and are more courteous to their customers.
There appears to be more confidence be-
tween the buyer and seller. 1t is a nota-
Bile fact that our first business men adver-
tise most literally, and the heavier their
business the more they use printers ink
the more they advertise the more business
they do; not only in this place, but go
where you will, you find it the samoa
universal rule without an exception. There
are a few who can't see it;' but they
are, or soon will be, like angels visits.
1t is mistaken idea that advertisements
are not often read; as for instance who
could help reading the following:
T>o BE SOLD BY NICHOLAS BRANCH, AT HIS
i Refractory, west Of the bridge in Providence,
s1r SOLID ARGUMENTS,

mon, Meats Tongue, etc. oysters IN every style.

Rudments gratis.--ThOse indebted for Arguments
not be Agitated, think it Grievance if they
should meet Punishment for calling for such Super
luites, and supposng it not Necessary to make I'M
mediate Payment.-22H
Such an advertiser as the above will be
sure Of good run of custom.
In looking over some old papers l came
across an antidote for drunkenness, and
would advise those given to the crayther
to go and do as John Smith did /:
WHEREAS, AT PARTICULAR TIMES, MAY
w importune my friends and Others to let me
have liquor, which is hurttul to and detrimental
to society. This is therefore to forbid any persons
selling liquor or letting me have any on any &C
count or pretense for if they do will positively
make to the contrary at the time they may let me
have it. nov1920w4 JOHN SMITH.
And here comes another of recent date
in one of my last weeks papers, of u
"pegged and sewed shoemaker" and what
is more he had been " sewing and pegging
himself for twenty-five years." What a
man! VIII he ever rip? Guess not.
1t is not often that we find mans
name uniting with his profession as aptly
as the following: William Clack, Auc-
tioneer." Clack by name, Clack by ma
ture, and Clack by profession. There are
many more quaint adve, tisements, that
have not time to mention; would say,
however, that all our richest men, from P.
L. Barnum down, have never spared print
ers' ink. There are none too poor to ad-
vertse if you are~poor, just try it. As
there is no man but would like to get
richer, or do more business than he is do
ing, therefore advertise literally, and cour-
ageously. To the people would say, read
the advertisements; study them, and they
will surely profit you. ADVERTISER.
