IT the purpose is to draw trade,
then why not advertise whom you
need trade the most2 OF course
this rule is subject to the surround
ings aud the circumstances. We
realize that in Outlines it is much
harder to bring people to the store,
but that is ono reason why more
advertising should be used, or bet
ter advertisements should be used,
for it is not always necessary to OK
tend ones space whore the same
result may be accomplished by using
the same space in making the adj
vertisement attractive.
If possible, in dull seasons moro
inducements should be held out to
the customer than in brisk seasons.
Moro care should be used in select
ing articles to be advertised, and
moro thought should be given to ad
vertisemonts to bring trade to your
store.
Advertising, to largo extent, is
cumulative in its benefits, for the
value of present advertising depends
largely upon what has been done
before. If you discontinue adver-
Using entirely you are leaving out
some of tho bricks 10 tho wall
which you are constructing, and
will loose large portion of the
benefits of accumulativo advertise
ments when you begin again, there
having been a disconnection in

Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1896-08-01

The Deadwood Pioneer says: In ma
tional politics the unusual" has been
frequent. The republicans scored the
first bolt in it's history; the youngest
man ever nominated talked himself into
the nomination. and for the first time
one candidate has been nominated by
three national conventions; and then
there are two nominees for president
and three for vice president party ties
are smashed and none of US know just
"Whar we are at"
While it is true that in some instances
papers and people are somewhat un,
decided as to their precise political pre-
dilections, it Is not fact that "none oi
us know where we are at" So far as
the Pioneer is concerned, the allegation
may be said to be entirely applicable,
but, so fer as we have been able to de-
termine, the situation with it has not
been materially changed. If, for the
past year or two, it has had any well
settled political policy, its readers have
been unable to find it out.

with the Lucky's at the bat. BY COM
bination of favorable circumstances the
pick-ups succeeded in putting them out
in considerable less time than was ex-
pected, and going to bat scored two
runs, to which they fortunately added
one more in the four innings which
followed, which gaye them q score in
