Country store advertising 10
improving, and as it improves it
grows more and moro interesting
and all tho better for the interest
it excites. 1t was formerly of lit
tie consequence, because country
storekeepers took little interest in
this department Of their own bus
iness. The advertising was unpop.
ular, was neglected and regarded
as bore, but it was considered an
expense rathor than q scource of
profit. ahrewd men have taken
the advertising expense account
from the blacklist it formerly oc-
cupied and put it in the light, so
that we can plainly sec just what
it's value IS and its probable and
profitable returns. Money is now
spent, not grudgingly, as formerly,
but freely and voluntarily, and in
some instances:'' lavishly. That
mono may bo thrown away the
quality of country store advertls-
ing should bo carefully considered
and every holp toward goodness
adopted.
