certainty that spring is here.
John c.. Graham, one of the great
est business men of the country, says:
The most successful advertisers the
world over pin themselves to the
newspapers as being the best method.
The newspapers go into the homes at
all times and in all weathers; travellers
read them and so do stay-at- homes.
while to the latter all outdoor adver-
Using must be lost. This is one great
advantage newspaper advertising has
over all other kinds-the certainty
that it will be seen and read by the
general public"

This office has in preparation for
distribution to the business men of
Oakland several thousand small slips
setting forth the advantages offered
by this community as summer re-
sort. These slips are to be inserted
in letters sent out by our merchants,
ETC., to their correspondents in re-
mote and closely cities. The slips
are being prepared in conformity
with a suggestion adopted by the
Oakland Club at a meeting held re-
Gently. Aside from being almost
an inexpensive way of advertising
the town and bringing to public no
tice our great natural advantages as
summer and health resort it may
interest some people to know that the
Club is making an effort to help the
town.
