Many people look upon money paid out
for advertising as spent and gone, but
shrewder business men view it in its pro-
per light. They regard it merely as an in
vestment, from which large and regular re-
turns are certain to be gained. And not
for one year or two, alone, but as long as
they continue in business. Nor are they
ever mistaken in this calculation. No in
vestment business man can make will
pay as certainly and largely as the money
paid for advertising in a newspaper Of large
and good circulation. 1t geneeally yields,
when judiciously used, from 100 to 1000 !
per cent. This is the testimony of all who |
have thoroughly tested the principle. The |
sun is not more necessary to ripening grain |
than publicity to a man who has anything
