THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR We did
not attend the Fair at Peirysville to
scrutinize aud critcise the display. Those
of our citizens who attended it. are fully
competent to Judge of its merits as a
"Juniata County Fair " They know
whether the display Of agricultural pro-
ducts and agricultural implements equal
ed the display of former years. The at
tendance on Thursday was large, and
respectable in every particular. 1t is
not often that so many people come to-
gether at one time and at one place, and
conduct themselves a. did our citizens
last week Mt the Fair. There was moth.
ing there that could give offence to the
most fastidious, and it was the standing
remark of strangers who had seen much
of the world" who had seen society in
all its phases, from the humblest to the
highest, that they never anywhere saw
so many people at one time behave so
WELL" Let us as people make a note
of the favorable observations of the stran-
gers that come among US on such Occa-
sions. These comments tell US that if
we cannot rival large aud rich counties
in the products of the soil and in the
variety of farming implements and ma
chinery, that we can stand their equal in
respectable conduct and intelligence
The management throughout was good
The VALUE OF ADvERTIsISG.-A
writer in the Tribune makes this sens;-
bic suggestion -
Many business man is afraid of the
expense of advertising, and yet will pay
high rents for prominent store to ex-
hibit bis wares. and put up expensives
signs, and seems not to know that both
are expensive methods of advertising
The intances of men who have made
fortunes by advertising are too numerous
to question but how have they done it
BY exercising good judgment; by know
ing how, where and when to advertise
The whole secret is there Advertising
has become science, and unless its
principles are adhered to, large amounts
of money may be expended to no pur-
pose To advertise successfully requires
more knowledge of the means than most
business men possess and more thought
Than they have time to bestow to it -
Hence many large houses tind it prohta-
bic to employ competent men who make
il their specially.
l venture the opinion that every per
son experienced il advertising will bear
me out in saying tha: the business Inau
WHO controls the sale of ar article that
supplies an actual want, need not fear
to invest largely in advertising, if he
does it with Intelligent tact and discrim'
inatiou as to the Use of the best means.
Under proper circumstances, he cannot
fail OF realizing fortune.
