souud BusIueAy Talk.

The ST. Louis Globe says: It may be taken
as a rule that liberal advertisers sell cheap, for
they are anxious to change and replenlsh their
stock as often as possible during a season, and
thus make money by rapid sales. Other dealers
hold on to fixed prices, and will not sell unless
at profit on the invoice established at the COM
mencement Of every season.
These are not advertisers, for we repeat that
liberalty in advertising is sure evidence of cor
responding hberality in selling. Our readers
may set this down az one OF the liked tacts OF
the age. We have watched the course of mer'
camille events for many years, and such is oui
