There is a thee v that advertising
pays. There are facts which prove the
theory true.
All men who advertise are not success
ful, but, with rareexceptions, all success
full men have been advertisers
Advertising is the greatest OF all mod
ern engines for facilitating business Be-
side it the telegraph, the telephone, the
locomotive and steamboat are dwarfed.
If it were not for advertising, these
would not be used. Business would not
be OF sufficient volume to Justify their
employment.
The man in Chicago advertises, and
the man in st. Paul buys-by telegraph,
perhaps-and has his purchase delivered
by the locomotive. But the advertising
came first. 1t always does.
1t conveys Information, and an invita-
ton to buy at the same time.
And advertisement in a paper like
The GOLD LEAF, places this informa-
ton before thousands of buyers, either
present or prospective. Count the cost
of suitable advertisement against the
possible number of those who will need
some special thing on any day. The
chances will always be found on the side
of the probability of the advertisement.
Nine times in ten good ad. will bring
more than enough direct profit to pay
for itself, leaving its great cumulative
value clear gain. Half the time a good
ad. will pay an actual direct profit, but
to do this, it must be carefully tended.
Treat the newspaper fairly, and it will
pay every time.

Vance County Not Affected.

Mr.. M. B. Prince calls our attention
to a matter Of which we were not in
formed and which we take pleasure in
correcting for the benefit of the public.
1t is the law in regard to putting a
strip of plank at the top of wire fences
along public roads. This act, passed
by the last Legislature. applies to GER
tain counties only and Vance is not af-
fected by it. We saw some reference
to it in one of our exchanges and
thinking the law was general a note
WAS made Of it. Mr.. Prince has looked
the matter up and finds that Vance
county is not included within the pro-
visions of the wire fence act.
