money, to say nothing of resortlng to

with its cascades of snow drifts, and the

One Of the oldest and best advertisers
in the country gives four cardinal points
that all advertisers may profit by: First
If one has a good thing, which the pee
| pie really need, the more widely be makes
it known the larger will be his rates; he
will gain nothing by economizing in this
matter, provided he advertises with good
| judgement. Second, no one need to ex-
pect to do a brisk and extended business
in these days who fails to advertise,
and advertise freely. Third, it costs mon.
ey at the outset to ADVERTISE and one must
not expect to do this ettectually for little
or nothing. Fourth papers differ from
each otLeI greatly in their advertising
rates. The cheapest kind of advertising
is often the dearest. PaperE whose rates
are among the highest, as general rule
give the most value for the money they
! demand.
