A Word About Advertising.

The immense and relentless compe-
tition in sales in the mercantile world
has aroused corresponding competJ-
ton in the methods of advertising. AS
result, advertisers are making it a
point to endeavor to be extremely orig
lnal, but this is mistaken and profit
less striving. There is no endless
power OF originality in the mind of
man. A uniformity of thought and
action dominates mankind, who are in
reality imitators; their doings are
merely repetitions of what has been
done before. So the persistent adver-
tlser who is eager for satisfactory re-
suits will gain them soonest by giving
solid, CHEEKY and instructive informa-
ton to the patrons through the medi-
UNI of g. newspaper which the public
reads, and in which it has the utmost
confidence.-Culbertson, (Neb.) Era.
