In the first place, it;ls said that

A superintendent, matron. cook

would exceed in cost the full
amount OF the charges under the
present system.
Those in faTor of such county
institution can only say that so
many attaches would not be. hired.
Well, at first possibly not, but la
ter, after the business came under
political control, these and perhaps
ii few more would be paid monthly
stipends.

Business men can no more af.
ford to go without advertising than
they can afford to go without light.
The former enlightens the public,
the latter the offics and store. The
former makes known what you
have to sell, the latter to properly
exhibit it. Business men are
prone to regard money spent in
advertising as thrown away, but
experience teaches that it brings
larger results than any other part
of the capital. Some business
men seem to think that the field
in which they trade is limited and
surrounded by a stone wall so high
that no one will try to get over it.
1t is a false notion. Ones field is
ONLY limited to the zeal and intel
ligence displayed in the advertise
ment of the business IN hand.
How long would the many prepar
atlons used ia combating the
rayages OF disease be seen upon
our druggists shelves had not their
merits and healing qualities been
made known to the public by ex
tensive advertising? Do not think
because your stock is the newest
and prices the lowest that people
will hunt you UP and beg you to
sell to them unless you let them
know of the advantages you can
offer them.
