nothing else to do but turn over the

Don't forget the fancy frames, ETC..
IN the depOts, those with Is cent

person has only half second to buy
his ticket aud board the train, he
will invariably ston over TO read the
advertisements.
A boy or man dressed to represent
an Indian with o big sign OIL pole,
or covered over with signs is very
affective way TO advertise and then II
tends to give your establishment u
iiynifed air. Paironize every agent
that shows you an advertising table,
hotel desk, card, directory or guide.
They are always widely circulated

find Que In Kalamazoo and possibly
another in California;
But don't think of advertising In
well established trade paper; not for
a moment, because your advertise.
lnent would be nicely printed and
displayed and would find its way to
the notice OF thousands of consumers
and dealers In your goods, and that
wouldn't do, tor people would be
asking for and buying your goods,
and continue doing 80, which would

hiring more hands to keep up with
