LET THIS BE YOUR Early to
bed and early to rise makes man healthy,
wealthy and wise," is an old Persian pro-
verb, and only applies, however, to that
class of men who, when they get up in the
morning resolve to dc something for them
selves and humanity for that day. To do
this they should reflect over the course of
action for the previous day, and cut out
the evil and resolve to do more good.
With such a resolution few men can fail
They leave their breakfasts with light
hearts, strong wills, and a determination to
do right, and in doing this they should
endeavor to keep clear of ruts. If they
are engaged in business they want Gus
toners, or persons who will buy their
wares. If they have been doing business
in a narrow and contracted way, necessarily
their returns have been small, but if on
the other hand they have dealt literally
with the public, their incomes have been
increased Now one of the best ways to
increase business, and we refer to many
instances in this borough, such houses as
National Hall of Fashion, New York Store,
Philadelphia Store, Corner Store, Auction
Store, City Hall of Fashions, NJ r. Brown,
Simon Fried, Peter S. Williams.
J. H. McCarty & Sons, Dreher & Bro,
L. P Hollinshead, Walton & Wintermute,
E. X. Wyckoff, J. 0. Saylor, G. Sanford,
Samuel Hood. and others, who advertise
their goods and largely profit by the same.
Do the other business men in Stroudsburg
suppose that these houses would so per-
sistently advertise if it did not pay them
Because it pays them is the only reason
they do it. What is true in respect to
merchants advertising holds to all other
kinds of business
