VALUE OF ADvERTIsING.-One Of the
wcalthiest business men of Cincinnati Mr..
l}urkhardt, re- emily made an address before
the Commercial Club, of that city and said
10 tho course Of his remarks:
| have cast my minds eye hurriedly back
over my experience in Cincinnati, and am
fully convinced that in fifteen years, with
the advertising have done, have pushed
my business to standing that it would
have taken thirty years to reach without
advertising. In truth, it is doubtful if l
could have at all attained the results have
without the aid of newspapers. Certainly
the great newspapers are the cheapest
medium for making your trade known to
the greatest number of people. Printed
circulars may possibly reach thousand per.
sons whose names you know, your old Gus
toners. Your announcement in a leading
Journal will reach a hundred thousand
whom you never heard Of New dealers
coming into the field will see your name and
business and know where to find you. Your
standing advertisement is standing notili-
cation to buyers that you arc alive and there.
It is q perpetual letter Of introduction for
your travelling salesman. lie has only to
mention your name for the country mer-
chant to say: ooh, yos, that's the Diamond
Ham man, isn't is?' or "Thata 'Rock and
Rye ain't he?" He will be twice as apt to
buy as If your firm name was one he had
never heard Of, or, haviag heard of thought
you were long since dead.
A TRAVELLERS STony.-Aftcr spending
months at watering places and consulting
the best physicians without benefit, re-
turped home dishcartcned end expected to
die a friend urged trial of Psrkers
Ginger Tonic Three bottles and careful
diet have brought mo excellent hea th aud
spirits and | hope my experience may
benefit similar sufferers. Cincinnati lady.

1tis wonderful that God spares US so long.
Think how little you have done for him.
Compare yourself to the barren Gig tree, and
you will find nothing better in yourself
Yet you are not cursed, but digged about
by the kind providences Of God Stimu-
late your slothful soul by the inquiry, How
long will God spare me?
