Our old friend, Wayne Smith, Of
Mclean county, was here last week and
of course called on us and renewed his
subscription to the HERALD. Wayne
was the first man to subscribe and pay
for the HERALD when it was an infant
and he has given it his support unceas>.
ingly We regret to report that he is
in Ill health, but he will certainly re/
cover for he is too game and has too
much energy to succumb to the grim
monster yet awhile. Wayne has culti-
waited a crop Of As acres of tobacco this
season and is now having it housed. 1t
is very fine and he estimates that the
yield will be 1000 pounds per acre.
His other crops are in proportion. He
has four fine farms lying a few miles
north of Ca.hoon. His old friends and
neishbors of Ohio county will be glad
to hear of his success in life.

For Merchants TO Read.

Let our local merchants "Tead, mark.
learn and inwardly digest" this little
incident which occurred in neighb0r-
ing city the other day, says the Read

porous merchant, II gentleman, "A stran-
ger IN town, expressed surprise at the
busy scene that greeted him. He in
quirei of the proprietor how it was that
he was getting more than his share of
business in these dull midsummer days
The merchant replied; al attribute the
excellent business do every summer
to just two things: First, | advertise
bargains and keep my store before the
public; second, when the public calls
satisfy it 10y keeping my advertised
promises.
IL cost me $1,000 10 learn this lesson,
and il has paid mo at least S25. 900 Du-
ring three successive summers, during
the hard years that followed 1873 ! ran
behind in the store on AN average =, 600
every year. | made up my mind that
there was business To- do and that /
would do it. In the middle of the worst
and dullest year that we had, when
clerks were absent on their vacations
and half the force ia the store was idle,
! started in and spent Il 200 in adverti
sing midsummer bargains, remnants,
old stock and 80 ON. Within week
my store was 81 full Of business that !
had to send for every clerk who was
away and | added two extra clerks
That year, instead of lOs, of 2, ,000 in
the summer, | made 3, 800, besides
what ! paid for advertising | have
kept it up ever since. That was the
most expensive lesson ever learned,
but il was the most remunerative. II
| had To start i'm business again, ~ pOcr
as when | started, | would make it "a
rule To spend at least one half of what
my rent cost in advertising in home
papers. would spend il judiciously in
the best and high priced department.
