ADVERTISING versus DRUMMING.
The following is from the american

The following is from the american
Grocer -
A gentleman who is large adverti-
ser in the american Grocer called al
our Office last week, ard in the course
of conversation saidse"A man doesn't
know how to do business until he
knows how to advertise. Advertising
is far more more satisfactory than en-
ployihg travelling saiesmen. would
rather pay sl0,00O a year on ADVERT
sing in good papers than expend that
sum upon drumming" The following
extract from the Record coincides
very strikingly with these observa-
tiona:
We mean no disparagenent to com
mercial travellers when We say that an
advertisement in q widely circulated
newspaper is better than an army OF
drummers. The drummer can only be
In one place at Que time. He speaks
with miraculous organ, but to a lin
tied audience. He must eat and drink
and sleep. He is mortal. The news
paper can be in fifty thousand places
in one day. 1t can he talked to a
hundred thousand persons at one time.
It has no set times or seasons. but
comes every morning smiling to its
work. Steam and lightning are its
ministers. The signboard ID good in
it's way; circulars are read by the Gu
rious and by the innocent; drummers
sometimes make sales; theregare a
hundred ways of reaching for trade
but there is one high road to it. The
newspaper is the natural channel oil
general information. Those who fail
to use 1t get no hold npon the moving
world. Business men Who have bust
ness, and who keep it, advertise. g
Another fact not noticed in the ex.
tract is that the most successful and
the shrewdest business men in the
country are large advertisers. They
are accustomed to make every dollar
tell, and the only possible reason fol
their expanding money in advertising
is that it pays. They select the paper
that has the most influence and the
largest circulation among the persons
who buy their goods, and then place
their names prominently upon its pa
ges, When this is done they have nc
fear that their names will be over
looked. The gentleman whose re-
marks we quoted above said that his
advertisements in the american Groce'
had put him in communication with
parties in the remotest sections of the
country as well as places nearer home
Another of our advertisers said he had
heard from persons all over the South,
where his name had never before been
known. 1t is great mistake to sup
pose that people do not read advertise
msnts. In our case we know that the
reader makes a regular practice of pc.
rusing our advertising pages, to keep
himself posted 10 the different goods
being offered, aud 1t may be regarded
as fact that provided paper has q
large circulation, every item IN Its pa.
ges will become widely known.-[Ex.

is contemi Lated. He also says that the
Brotherhood does not believe in strikes,

in regard to wages, the railroad officers
should be willing TO listen to their state

With fourteen railroads. though neither

they know it, and might correct us, but
do not for fear they shall hurt our feel

us what we are. If friends would re-

Then tell me my faults TO my face.

Will you refuse to be an enemy, and
