Nothing except the mint can make
money without observation-disclosures.

We are to ford of our own will.
We want to be doing, what we fancy
to be mighty things; but the greatest
point is to do small things when called
to them, in right spirit.
Truthfulness is a cornerstone in

youth, there will ever te aweak spot

Christ is Il stumbling stone to those
who will not believe upon him. They

Fulfill Every Promise.

The merchant who desires the conf
dence and custom of Intelligent people
should never make a promise that he
does not fulfill, or hold out, either by
express statement or inference, any in
ducements that are not fully substan-
tiated by the facts. There is no endur-
ing success where confidence is lacking
on the part of customers. Any success
not founded on square and liberal deal
ing is sure to be short lived.

Be Brief! Be Pointed!

In preparing their announcements ad-
vertisers will usually do well to confne
their statements to one, or at most, a
very few points. Few persons can do
well more than one thing at time, and
it is much the same with the memory;
but one or two points in any statement
make an impression and are retained.
As the number of points is increased the
probability of any of them making an
impression and bringing returns is pro-
portionately reduced.
