"The New York Tribune has the follow
ing upon the value Of advertising, and every
practical business man will confirm what it
says Of the present state Of business. Pru-
dence and economy, of course, are the two
great lessons to be learned but there is one
part of these lessons, which, in dull times, Is
especially not to be forgotten. BE sure of one
thing: whatever you have to sell, there are
many people ready to buy, even in the most
depressed seasons. Find them out; show them
your wares; persuade them to buy of you "a
TIER than another. When buyers are reluc-
tant. sellers must be active It's neither cheap
nor sensible to sit behind your counter, and
wait flr the hustle Of trade to revive When
business is dun, that is the very time when
YOU most need to advertise; and in the second,
that is when people devote most time to read
ing the newspapers, and when your advertise
mcnt, consequently, is generally most seen.-
A few dollars thus invested will do more TO
revive a sluggish business than anything else
in the world.
