ALL BIG ADVERTISERS.

There is nothing in business that
requires more science to do really we'll
than advertising. 1t is easy to advise
many things, but, on the whole, it
must be studied as an art and entered
into with great caution. That adver-
Using pays is an axiom The most
successful merchants of today are i'm

the golden prize Of success in the mer-
camille world must rely upon his own
clear intellect to put his wares intel
ligently before the public in plain
businesslike statements. There is
nothing to be gained by appealing to
personal prestige. You must contin-
ually advertise your business. With
out advertising success is impossible.
