Does Advertising pay3

Does newspaper advertising pay?
We hear some one who knows nothing
about it, aud doesn't want to know,
answer that it does not. The man in
business who has not learned the
value of advertising is usually one
who is unduly fearful of increasing
his expenses, forgetful OF the wise
old saw about yenturing nothing gain
ing nothing. Do the Kaufmans
spend more than 800, 900 year in
the newspapers Of Pittsburg merely
because they may be personally fond
Of the proprietors, and wish to dis
tribute among them occasionally some
of the surplus funds they accumulate?
You can't pick up Pittsburg daily
paper and not find in it the advertise
ments of Kaufman, Gusky, Horne,
Solomon &Ruben, Jackson, Boggs &
Bull, and dozens of others that could
be Just as readily named. Moreover,
they are not periodical advertisers,
doing stunt in that line now and
then and then quitting for while.
They advertise all the time, seven
days iu the week except Horne, who
does not use the Sunday papers.
Satisfactory results are obtained by
these big firms from their advertising
because pains are taken to prepare the
copy. They are mindful that it costs
money to advertise, and that this
money is absolutely thrown away I'M
less care is taken to interest readers
in the store news. 1t is profitable 10
advertise, just as 1t is. to cultivate a
farm, but both require attention and
labor, the same as any other invest
ment from which one expects 10 de-
rive benefit.
And what is true OF Pittsburg is
also true of any town, The leading
business men of the community are
those who understand the value OF
printers ink and know how to use it,
even though they may not in all cases
like the editor or approve the political
policy of his paper. There is nc
politics in dollar bill, and the mer-
chant who is after it never unwisely
inquiries whether it comes from Dem
ocratic or Republican hands.
The advertiser that gets the most
for his money is the one who, like the
man with the little shovel, keeps al
1t. His name ami business are never
missing from the local papers. Tit
size of his ad. may vary with the rise
and fall of the business tide, but it IL
always in evidence, even if it takes
up hut three or -four inches Of space
The constant dropping Of water will
make an impression even on stone
Wise and continuous advertising viii
do the same on the public. And thi'
is true Of all kinds of business, with
out a single exception. UniontowI

MT. LAKE CAMP MEETING.
Vast Crowds of People Attended

Preparations for the Chautauqua
Assembly In August-Popularity of

Growth of the Place.
MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Nd, July
Is. The largest crowd of people ev
er seen in this place on Sunday was
here attending the camp meeting.
The old tabernacle, always amply
large tor the audiences heretofore,
was found entirely inadequate, and
the meetings in the afternoon were
transferred to the big auditorium,
where 1000 people can find comfort
able room. In addition to the i'm
mense audience gathered here, some
of the preachers went over the
grounds preaching to the crowds
gathered under the trees. Interest
in tue meetings has been most in
tense The conversion of sinners
and the sanctification.of believers has
been going on without interruption
at most rapid rate. | think none
of the Fairmont crowd has been af-
fected, though many of them need it
doubtless. At this mornings meet
ing the usual hard work of begging
money to pay expenses was taken
up. In jiffy not only the amount
necessary for this year was raised,
but sixteen hundred dollars was
contributed towards next year s
work. This augurs well for the flu
ture and is only one of the many IL
Illustrations of increased interest and
general improvement shown here.
The Lock Lynn hotel has about
one hundred people, and the pleas
ant grounds and broad verandas
present an animated and delightful
scene The guests are loud in their
praises of the excellent treatment
they receive and the splendid meals
and rooms. Many of the guests
have been regularly stopping at this
hotel since its opening some years
ago, and they declare unreservediy
that the hotel far surpasses its form
er self and is the most delightful
mountain resort they have ever
known. This speaks well for the
managers, Messrs. Havmond and
Whitman, and should mean that the
capacity of the hotel will hereafter
be taxed to its limit. AS place to
rest, its all so delightful, so com
