cheaper and yields a better return
in proportion to the money invest

always keep an advertisement be-
fore the public in some shape. If
it disappears it is soon forgotten,
and those that remain have su-
periority. Our merchants and bus
mess men will do well to remem-
her this. They cannot eat enough
in one day to last them a week,
neither can they advertise enough
in n week to last them month or
