We are pleased to note the fact that
there is a growing appreciation among
our business men of the value of ju-
dicious advertising, and that the col
umns of The Democrat are being used
pretty freely by them in inviting Gus
toners. No man can afford to try to
do business without advertising. Be
not deceived. The careful buyer closely
watches the columns of his home
paper, and live, liberal advertisers are
the ones who get the benefit Of his
trade Those who advertise in The
Democrat know that it pays them to
do so. The paper has a large and in
increasing list Of prompt paying sub
scribers, and its rates of advertising
are very reasonable. If you would
increase your business make liberal
use of its advertising columns.
