Every merchant, manufacturer

lOSsal fortune.
Some merchants say it is not worth
while TO advertise; for no person reads
advertisements; yet every merchant in
this county will read this ADVERTISE
ment, and if he is wise he will profit
by its suggestion, If he has anything to
offer worth advertising How much
more then will those read them who
are not so largely supplied with read

their local news, the most Important

stock is so old, rusty, dusty and nut Of
style that it is worthless, or it it is run
down so that you have nothing left that
people would w,nt, it is not worth
while for you to advertise. But if it is
new, fresh and sparkling, up to the
times, and such as the people want,
don't hide them, but publish to the
world that you have them, and want
to sell them at a fair price.

anything new, or anything that they
