Advertising.

Advertising.
Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have good thing, advertise it. If
you haunt, don't
If you don't mean to mind your own
business it will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods
in public. Let him do his own adver-
Using.
You can't eat enough in one week to last
a whole year and you can't advertise on
that plan, either
A large advertisement once and then
discontinued creates the impression that
the man has fizzled
It's as true of advertising as of anything
else in the world-if it worth doing at ali,
it's worth doing well.
lnjudicions advertising is like fishing
where these are no fish You need not LEI
the lines fall in the wrong place.
If you can arouse curiosity by an adyer-
tisement it is great point gained. The
fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the
world.
The people who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can
remember anything longer than about sew.
en- days
A standing advertisement, even though
small one, is ike a sign over a store
ever in sight, and constant suggestion t.
the public of something the public should
have, and the place to get it.
