Some Facts About Advertising
Would You Increase Your Bust

This subject Of advertising has been more care
fully and thoroughly studied during the past few
years than in all the preceding ones, and conclu-

busin ,ss always pays, sometimes enormously.
Q The best advertising medium is the live news
paper, bringing as it does, larger returns in pro-

q. The best advertising medium for a local busl-
ness is one OF more Of the nearest local newspapers.
4 An Old established business needs adVertls-
ing as well IS u new one, because of competition,
changes of population and the habitual forgetful-
ness OF mankind.
5. To derive the greatest possible benefit from
business advertising it should be systematically
kept up, and the advertisements frequently chang
ed.
There il one reason for advertising which bust
ness men rarely cousder-its general effect on the
prosperity Of their place. The newspaper goes out
into the world from week to week the repre-
sentative of its village. and men judge of the vii
lage by the newspaper more than by anything else
If this is newsy and able and many local firms are
represented in it's Advertising columns, they as
sumo at once and generally correctly, that il

and live in-and thus they drawn thither
