There may be some difference In the
opinions Of business men as to what
constitutes good advertising; but GER
tainly the present method OF advertis-
sng is thoroughly effective, and there
fore profitable. The business announce
ments in an up-to-date newspaper are
changed so often that they never be-
come monotonous. They always con-
tain most timely information. it is this
feature Of freshnesswhich makes adver-
Using so interesting to the public and
as a consequence, very profitable to the
