Attention is called to the ADVERTISE
ment of Henry NJ. Stanley's new book,

wonderful book and ought to have a
large sale. Mr.. r. w. Respess, a
very worthy and deserving citizen of
Warren county is agent for the sale of
this work in Warren, Vance and Gran

Some otherwise good business men
look upon newspaper advertising as a
sort of extra expense that brings little
or no returns. They will spend a few
dollars that way occasionally, but they
seem to do it in the spirit that SO much
is gone to the expense and lost account.
1t is mistake to think that advertise
ing properly, intelligently and persist
emily done does not pay, or that any
reputable newspaper is Indifferent as
to its advertising bringing the investor
profit. This paper would rot receive
cent from dissatisfied patron who
had given its columns thorough test.
