Not a Matter of Chance.

The progressive merchant is con-
stantly compelled to encounter more
or less costly risks in the manage
ment of his business. He may make
a mistake in the selection of certain
goods, or may buy them under the
misapprehension that just at the
time of his purchase they stand high
in the popular regard; he may, in
fact, run hundred chances. But
in the important matter of adver-
Using he runs no risk at all if he be
careful to select as the agency
through which to exploit his bust
ness first-class newspaper, whose
columns are regularly perused by
thousands of readers. Such adver-
Using is always reliable and prof.
