Advertising don't pay! And that We
have found out to our sorrow. For
the past few years we have continually
preached the contrary-that advertis-
ing does pay. And by way of practic-
ing what we preached, we contrived to
do 4 large amount of advertising for
ourselves: which by way of return
brought US in a very liberal patronage
in the job work line. This patronage
we had continued to bear comfortably
up to the beginning of the new year.
and by working hard we had managed
to fill all orders with : nromptness
which we hatter ourselves was over
the average. But since January 1st we
have had such rush of job work
which required to be got out on short
notice as was never before heard Of in
a country printing office. And any
body who has gone through such a
trying ordeal as we have gone through
in the past few weeks, in trying to give
some sort of satisfaction to 4 host of
patrons eagerly wasting for work, could
not help feeling very sorry for ever adj
vertising, and would, we think. be
justified in doing as we have done,
promising never to do so an, more.
However, our motto is: Good Work;
Low Prices.
