Merchants may attempt to advertis
their business through attractive sign
boards, placards, swinging coats, pants
vests, hats, boots, umbrellas ETC., bu
they all are a humbug, poor advertiser
and do not amount to anything compal
ed to the old standard printers ink
Newspaper advertising is the best metl
cd yet devised; it is the best clerk
business man ever employed; it neve
sleeps-is always on the alert for trade
it will sell person bill Of goods some
times when he otherwise would not buy
In short, it travels from one end of tn
land to the other, and weekly makes il
debut to at least a thousand people.
