Read the new advertisements ap-
pearing in this issue and should you
need anything in their lines patronize
them. 1t is the man who advertises
that invites you to his place of bust
ness, you should go. You wouldn't go
to the home Of an acquaintance with
out an invitation, would you? The
same rule is applicable in this case.
When business man wants your
trade, he will invite you to his place OF
business by an advertisement. If
your trade is worth having it is worth
ask ing for in an advertisement. The
best place to insert an advertisement,
where it will be read by the greatest
number of people is in the News.
