time instead Of attempting to renew the fight he
impored his victor to give him another chance, and to

ADVERTISING HINTS.

tFrnm the Advertising World)
 Holiday advertising should begin now and be pushed clear up to the first of Che year
 With better lines of goods at this season of theyear youshou.d do bet ter advertising.
 There is more satisfaction in hay ing your goods creditable than in having your profits large. Given the best goods and the best way of telling about them you are in the lead for the best business.
 Make reputation by selling hon- est goods. Protect your reputation by supplying the greatest values
 Goods that are worth advertising ore worth selling and goods that are worth selling are worth advertising.
 An advertisement that brings busi- ness is a good advertisement. study the paying one and write others like it.
 Tbere are more wide-awakp adver- tisers in business than eyer before. you must make your advertising better than ever.
 Advertising means pushing your business. Pushing your business means increasing your profits. Ad. vertising means profits
 Today's attractions may tomor- row be an eyc-sore. Get yonr best goods to your patrons while, they are still your best goods.
 Because advertising has become q valuable feature of business is the reason why people study advertis ing more than they did formerly.
 D, mt overwork the term ''below cost. People come to know thai you cannot get along and continue business and still sell goods below cost.
 Now that "Klondike" has almost worked itself out as an advertising phrase, what will be the next catch word which every advertiser will feel inclined to use?
 Your advertisement works twenty four hours q day, It works while you sleep. If it is d good one it will make money for you while you build up your health for another day.
 Space for your advertisement should be guaged by the value of your bargains. If you have few val ues use small space. If you have special bargains the people will be glad to know it.
 Merchants try to determine wheth- CT advertising is anexpense or an in vestment. Those who consider it an expense usually find it an expense. The question depends entirely on the advertising.
