If you feeI,ill and need a pill
Why not purchase the best!
De Wits Early Risers,
THE REason WHY.
IRE little surprlsers,

Country Merchants Merchants of
are Complaining. Northern Wiscon-
sin are continually complaining
that trade which rightfully belong
to them is being given to the cities,
This is true and when we look into
the causes we don't wonder ut it.
The cause lies in the lack of adj
vertising of the local merchant or
else in his inability in knowing
how to advertise. For enlighten-
ment we will point to the methods
of two classes of advertisers.
Method The city merchant
Employed. of any prominence
employs a man the year around
to attend to his advertising,
That man makes contracts with
newspapers, writes PADS" daily
for the papers and each day touch
es upon different articles and in
variably gives the prices. These
advertisements are not confined to
the city papers alone, but are
placed in the papers of many of
the country towns-it was only
last week that a Stevens Point
paper had a full page ADVERTISE
ment of a Milwaukee dry goods
merchant. By reading these the
people ascertain what goods the
merchant sells and the price asked
and they consequently 60 there to
buy.
Adyertis- A great many mer
ing A Fake. chants of the country
look upon advertising as "fake''
something that will eat up the
profits of their business-and these
"turn down. the printer oIlook at
the newspaper as necessary evil,
condemn its methods and grumble.
about business being dull. An
other class of the latter advertise
to certain degree but do it in an
Improbable way. Let the printer
approach them for copy for IN
"ad' aud inform them that the
listing of seas lie articles with
the sale price tached has proven
to be the most profitable way to
advertise, the answer he gets is
that Il don t want my competitors
to know what | am selling goods
at Following the plan Of the mer-
chants of oIden times who hired
the town crier to yell to the peo-
pie that "John Smith sells grocer
les" or "Ebenezer Jones is a
shoemaker" he is of the opinion
that such information will have
the desired effect. Screening his
goods and prices from the public
view us we'll as from the competi-
tor is it any wonder thatthe former
does a great deal of its buying in
the cities? The merchants of this
town, as we'll as many others, have
in their stores just as serviceable
and fancy wares with the same
price, or nearly 50, as those of the
city and vet how arepeople to know
How Are Peo- of this fact unless
pie To Know. they are informed
through the only recognized meth
@i-advertising. That is the way
to stop the flow of trade to some
point. Advertise, and do it right
