There are many different WAYS of adj
yertising your business and opinions
seem to differ as to which is the best,
but it is generally conceded that well
written newspaper advertisement, com
hined with low prices at the counter,
will give better returns than any other
method. 1t is necessary that you have
that which the public require and want,
and although it is possible, by iudicious
advertising, to force an article which
has not any real merit. yet the final re-
suits to business are not satisfactory.

articles in our line of business have been
"boomed" by our competitors, and that
they have not been what we term the

which we can exist and have being, and
are those articles in the sale of which
the profit is large.
