A good sized audience heard the
lecture of Rev. Edward Thompson,
LII D., on The American Sunda W at

address the gifted speaker command
ed the rapt attention of his hearers.
We cannot undertake to follow him
through hi. thoughtful, forceful.

GOLD LEAF ADVERTISING APHORlSMS.
Pointediy Photographed for Business
Men te Ponder.

Advertising is business seed-sow-
Ing.
You put an advertisement in the
GOLD LEAF. the paper does the rest.
The merchant who fails to advcr-
tise. fails to improve a golden oppor
tunity.
Good advertising makes good bust
ness, if the advertising media be
good.
A business well advertised is =
business we'll started on the road to
success.
The constant advertiser seldom has
cause to complain of the dull times
experienced by his less progressive
competitor.
The successful merchant is the one
who consistently and persisiently
keeps his name and business before
the buying public.
Trying to do business without ad-
vertisiny is like trying to chop wood
with dull axe. You can do it but
not as easily or as much as you might
do.
A we'll written. business-bringing
advertisement, displayed in a neat.
attractive manner. and published in
a paper that has character and cir
culation, cannot fail of producing
paving results.
