the purpose of nominating a candidate for
Representative in Congress for said district,

The naming ofa congressional committee,
after the nomination is made is recommended,

The basis of representatives will be one
delegate to each county, and one additional
delegate to each 100 votes or fractions over so,
cast for Hon. f. M. Drake for Governor in 1896.

he did. Many of our readers are we'll

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
Some Fundamental Principles of Sue
cessful Advertising.
BY NATH'L G. FOWLER.

DI NA1h II -. wv ACfs'
He, who doesn't advertise, because
he knows nothing about it, says that
advertising doesn't pay.
Some advertising doesn't pay.
Some lines of business don't pay.
1t is as absurd for the merchant not
to advertise because some advertising
doesn't pay, as it would be for him to
refuse to do business, because half the
business men fail.
Ninety-nine per cent of all business
men who succeed, began to advertise
when their business began, continued
to advertise, and are now advertising.
One man out of hundred does busi-
ness successfully without advertising.
The rule of average is safer to follow
than the law of exception.
The experience and success of the
ninety-and-nine teach a profitable
lesson in profit-making.
Business men don't do business for
fun. They do it for profit. Because
nearly all of them advertise and sue
ceed, is both direct and circumstantial
evidence that advertising is absolutely
necessary to the conduct of successful
business.
1 don't own any publication; have
no interest in any; am not an adver-
tising agent; have no advertising to
sell; it makes no difference to me
whether the business men advertise or
not.
1 have no ak to grind. Pm telling
you what 1 know to be the truth, and
what every successful man will tell you.
Success in business depends upon
five points in trade.
The first point of trade, something TO
sell.
The second point of trade, something
to sell it in.
The third point of trade manage
ment and capital.
The fourth point of trade, statesmen
and employees.
The fifth point of trade, advertising.
Without something to sell you can't
sell anything.
Without place to sell it in, you
can't sell it.
Without business qualifications, and
sufficient capital, you can't do busi-
ness.
Without employees you can't do
much business.
Without advertising you can't tell
people that you are in business.
The strength of all the points of trade
is in the strength Of each particular
one.
Drop out any one, and you may as
well drop them all out.
They are the five links in the chain
of business, and as advertising is one
Of these links, the strength of the chain
depends upon advertising.
The value of the best store, the best
statesmen, and the best goods, is limited
to the number of people who enter the
store, or send to the store, and the in
ventive genius of the world has never
produced anything to take the place of
advertising, and until it does furnish
substitute, the man who does business
must advertise or find that he has no
business to be in business.
