The above are a few of the novel and
amusing features developed by the An.lo-
Saxon race in $50 years Of advertising. The
backbone and mainstay of the practice is
of course the newspaper. Often the mer-
chant who doesn't advertise has to close
his doors and hand his effects over to cred
itors. Such an experience is rarity for
the man who combines the knowledge of
what to put in stock with the knowledge
of how to make people aware that he has
for sale just the things they want. Judi
cious liberality is the best economy in
trade, and honest wares, honestly adver
tised and honestly sold, bring the dealer
popular confidence, financial compel encc
and personal content.
