A Wide-Awake Ne reliant.

Advertising is the silent Salesman
that does not sell the goods, but pre-
pares the buyer for the buying, that
assists him by telling him what he
needs, and directs him by telling him
where he can buy it. The TIMES
makes no idle boast. 1t is distinctly a
family paper and goes into nearly
every home in this town and vicinity.
1t has strong, substantial circulation.
Wives read it; mothers read; daugh-
ters lead it; and who are better buy
ers than the women? Think of this
fact merchants and advertise your bust
ness through the medium of the TIMES.
