but will it pay ?" is the emery
which confronts us when soliciting
advertising for the columns of this
wlde-awake. up.todate paper. "De-
cldedly it does, if 1 do say it" Facts
show it, and clearly. A few weeks
ago, Messrs. P. & d. Mcleod, mill
men and cart-wrights, located at Yer
nal, placed small ad with us, stating
IN clear, concise way how they de-
sired to serve the public. Soon after
scanning the pages of his Herald Mr..
l. z. Joyner, prominent log man of
this place, saw their ad, also RENE G..
bered his need. The consequence
was in few days these clever gentle
men had sold him a log cart of their
own manufacture, and which are fas.
attaining a record for neatness and
durability, hard to believe. This is
only one instance. 1 could name
many. Such as this should, and will
after trial, convince the most scep-
tical, that advertising in the Herald
Is not venture, but trade puller.
An ad placed in these columns is a
silent canvasser, always at work in
your interest. Don't wait until the
COWS come home, but send in descip-
ton of ad you wish inserted, and let
me furnish estimates. Ed.
