THE MEN Who ADvERTIsE.-The business
men of Westminster are generally liberal adj
tertisers. and the effects of that course are
seen in the brisk trade they enjoy. Their
stores compare favorably with similar estab-
lishments in towns of much greater preten-
sions than Westminster, and goods OF all
kinds can be purchased here as cheap, and
dealers buy generally for cash, at close figures
and sell at small advance, preferring to have
many sales at short profits, than few at large
advances on cost price. Experience has
taught Iaany people that they can buy here
cheaper than in Baltimore, and when railroad
fare, board and freight are considered, the
difference in favor of the home market
amounts to considerable sum.
