Advertising Ones Business.

Many men do good business who
never advertise. But others do much
larger business who do advertise. The
great New York merchant, the late
Alexander 7. Stewart, advertised
largely. He sold twenty or thirty mil
lions of dollars of goods every year.
The largest advertising house probably
in Wilmington has doubled sales in
the last six months. No doubt it
would have got along and made money,
but it is owned by enterprising, broad
guaged men, and they are not satisfied
with small things but press on to
greater. Look at the New York and
Atlanta dailies and see a whole page
filled by one house, and in Atlanta
many houses take an entire page each.
