Noo Much Plate Glass.

The plate glass manufacturers of the United States, who were in session for two days recently, decided to curtan their production. The order to the eleven factories in this country will gc into effect January 1. The press com mittee stated that overproduction was the cause and they had determined to cut down the production on pro ratio basis in proportion to the capacity o1 each factory. In 1891 the consumption of plate glass in the United States, in- cluding the imports of 3,611,0 feet, was 13, ,934, ,231 feet. For the ten months of 1892 and for the year the consump- ton, based on a percentage of increase for the two remaining months, is over 5000, 900 feet, inclusive of the imports, 2,225, ,000 feet. The total capacity o1 the factories of this country is 22,6o0,- 900 feet Importation is being rapidly cut off and the tariff has been the same for thirty years. Putting the consump- tion this year at 15, ,oOO, 900 and next sea- son at 16, 800, 900 feet, it is apparent that the visible supply of 24,ooo, 900 feet year ly will not be used up. This is why curtailment is considered necessary. II was rumored on the street that the plate glass people intended to consoli. date their interests, but this was de. ,,;a1

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

This is a very important question to business men and one that only business men can answer. We have the assur- ance from scores of them who largely advertise that it does pay, if judiciously pursued, and many of them have given their testimony in its favor. If the reader will take up the DEMOCRAT from day to day he will find the columns filled with the announcements of lead ing business houses. They do not come before the public at long intervals but regularly, daily, changing their ad- vertisements with the variation in their stocks, qualities and prices of goods, thus not only attracting attention to what they have to sell, but arousing the desire of buyers to examine what is offered, thus making customers and popularizing these places of business. This class of men will tell you in this day of competition that it would be inn possible to do business or secure any thing like an average trade if they did not invite custom by giving in detail a clear statement of what they have to sell.
 On the other hand, thousands of men who have started in business with fair capital, plenty of push and knowledge of trade, have gone to the wall simply because they hid their light under a bushel,' in failing to compete with their neighbors in having the public know where they were, what they were selling and what inducements they had to offer. A man may have the best stock of goods i'll the market, but if he fails to invite custom. or make known the inducements he can offer, he is sure to drop behind in the race, while his sharper neighbor is reaping rich har- vest.
