Why IL Pays TO Advertise.

"You have a great rush." remarked
the reporter.
EYES," replied the proprietor, land
mainly on account of advertising"
"How can you tell whether advcrtis-
ing pays, and what papers arc good
mediums :"
81 can tell that advertising pays by
stopping my advertisements. I've tried
it. Trade drops off, not at once, but
the tide Of purchasers flows some other
way. The cash receipts tell the story"
"Is there any difference in the sharp
ness Of the buyers--I mean, do they
haggle much over prices?''
ooh, no; we sell at one price, and
all the best stores in Boston do the
same. They will sometimes say they
can buy such and such articles cheaper
elsewhere. When they mention the
place, we send and see if it is true, and
if so, We mark our stock down."
Suppose you should give up advcr-

"You miserable wretch" cried the
enraged member; "do you assume to

He drove the amazed secretary into
the street, and would hear no cxplana-
ton. Indignant, he went down to the
capitol and told friend, an old menu
Der, the story. The friend was shock

looked over the speech, and found it
read very well.
"You did just right. to discharge the
