has become a positive necessity to sue
cess. A man out of business for three
years, and who comes back, could no
more do business in the old style than
a last years chicken could get back
into its shell. Judicious advertisers
make large fortunes, if they have a good
article, and know how to trade. Men
who build up a great business, must do
1t through the press. A business man
can 90 into ~Pettengill's fine rooms, con-
suit with the influential press of the
land, make satisfactory terms with
prominent papers, decide the manner
in which advertisements shall be print
ed, close a contract with publishers in
all the cities of the Union, from Bangor
to San Francisco, from St. Paul to New
Orleans, and do it actually cheaper,
without leaving the office, than he could

person, Practical knowledge is needed

only from long and successful expert
nee. The best and most appropriate
mediums must be selected. The matter
must be displayed properly. Men must
know what amount of money to lay out
In advertising, know when to lavish
and when to contract. just here, the
valve of the Agency comes in. Men
who offer their services to conduct adj
vertising for a house, to be of any use,
must possess talent, ability, and prob
ity. Mr.. Pettengill is a practical

as they do their other business. They
do not deposit in shaky banks. They
do not take policies in a life insurance
company that cannot pay expenses.
Men want sound banks. They carry
life policies in a company that has re-
pute and success. If they are in trou'
Bile, they call in eminent counsel, who
know what to do or how to do 1t. 1t is
on these principles that PettengilPi

has made the fortunes of many of its
customers, as well as its own. Its high
mercantile honor is its capital. 1t keeps
up with the times. 1t offers its unsur-
passed facilities for advertising to all
business men who wish to make their
trade known in all the land.-BoSton
