Success in business demands this of all sue
cessiul business houses. All business men are
not moulded alike. Penuriousness with some
merchants is responsible for premature closing
aud reputation. Some merchants mover ad-
vertise and some merchants never take bath.
How can merchant keep clean stock with
no methods of notification to the public? Ad-
vertising is expensive and profitable. and
failure to advertise ones goods is sure fail
ure in all undertakings. 1t is pleasing to
mention that nearly all small lots advertised
in preceding issues have been sold. Do yen
expect to find new goods with the nom
