The boom in sprung ddcertising.
 Spring is the season when the young mans fancy lightly turns 10 thoughts ot love. The young woman's imaglna- lion is more practically v directed towards the numerous spring openings and con compilation of the bargains counter. Now Is the time to advertise. Buyers are looking for bargains, and they na- turally turn to these columns for an- nouncements. You can expect them 10 look you up and ask ii you have any thing 10 sell.
 Style is oi paramount importance in advertising. We have been giving some striking samples of the possibilities in this line lately. Probably they have caught your eye. That's what they're for. This particular form of advertising has worked wonders in John Wana- makers business, and is known as the Wananlaker style. It has made his for tune. Advertising will make your for tune if you have energy and nerve.
 Top of column.
 Such location is very desirable and rather expensive. But it's cheap at any price. Ii your goods are all wool they deserve to rank high in our columns. But to well worded and tastefully de- signed adhere precedence of position is not essential. It will attract attention anywhere.
 Next to reading matter.
 Shrewd advertisers have predilection for placing their announcement as nearly as possible to genuine reading matter, where it appeals insidiously to lhe wandering eye of the reader and iistracts his attention from the Crisis In Europe to the Crisis in Crash Towel Iings or the latest thing in Haberdash- cry.
 Speaking cf reading notices. We can put your announcement in plain words, in plain type and in plain sight of every casual reader. This form of advertising proves exceedingly re- munerative in some cases.
 Run of the paper.
 The advertiser who has sufficient faith in the integrity and discretion of our accomplished foreman to trust to his judgment in the location and display of | advertisements never gets left in the long run. Change is law of nature, and it is we'll to apply it in your busi- ness announcements. Variety is the spice of advertising. Call at the Business Office.
