A merchant may have the best,

that has ever been offered to the
public; but he will not be able to
get adequate trade if he shall fail to
tell the people convincingly about
it. In this day there are too many
men in business for the people to
keep informed concerning estab-
lisnments which make no effort tc
attract attention. Having some
thing to sell, or services to render
