WHOLESOME TKUTHs.-Don't ex-
Pect an advertisement to bear fruit in
one night.
Bread is the staff Of human life, and
advertising is the staff of business.
You can't eat enough in a week to
last a year, and you can't advertise
Ola that plan either.
a thing worth doing is wol tn doing
we'll. \ thing worth advertising is
worth advertising we'll.
The snterprising advertiser proves
that lie understands how to buy, be.
cause IN advertising he knows how to
sell.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer than
about seven days.
1t YOU can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam because the
water Is low. Either plan will pre-
Vent good times from coming.
A constant dropping will wear q
rock. Keep dropping your advertise
ment on the public aud they will
soon melt under it like rock salt.
Trying to do business without adyer.
ti.inS is like winkiug at pretty girl
through a pair Of green goggles. You
may know what you are doing, but
nobody else does.
Ii Is n mistaken notion that fine
store in an eligible location, surround.
ed by attractive signs. is a superior
advertisement; for the experience of
most enterprisius merchants is that it
pays better to spend less in rent and
more on advertising.
EHterprising people are beginning
to learn the value of advertising the
year round. The persistence Of those
who ate not intimidated by the cry
OF dull times" but keep their names
ever before the public, will surely
place them on the right side in the
end

ton to those only who pass his place

Is Grace n Doodle MANI

New YoRK, November, 13.-The World,
this morning, says: "a suit has been
brought against Mayor VIM. z. Grace
by Julian T. Davies, receiver Of Grant
& Ward, to recover $4,000, which the
receiver says the books show Mayor
Grace obtained through fictitious
contracts Mayor Grace individually
has been served, and the mayor has as
certained that the sum sued for in
cludes money that passed TO Mayor
Grace through Edward 81. Tobey s
hands. Mayor Grace has repeatedly
denied that he has any interest in
TObey's transactions with Ward, and il
has been said that he so testified before
the United States grand jury which in
dicted Ward, Warner and Tobey, but
there are checks IN the hands OF Re
ceiyer Davies drawn by Ward in favor
of Tobey, which show by Mr.. Grace's
endorsement that the money went to
him"
