The matter of advertising, as
business measure, is often misunder-
stood. 1t is an undeniable rule of
trade that advertising pays. Of
course the same judgement and pru-
dence must be exercised in advertis.
ing as in any other part of ones bus
mess. If this is not done, instead of
paying 1t may become source of
loss. 1t is more necessary to adver-
tise now than it was fifty, or hum
dred years, or even twenty-five years
ago. People are more busy now
than they were then. They have less
time and leisure to look about for
what they want. They look to the
newspaper to learn where their
wants can be supplied. and they ac-
cept it as a settled rule that the man
who advertlses the commodities
which he has to dispose of, instead of
waiting for the people to find it out
themselves, is the best man to deal
with, and most likely to give salts
faction.
