The following good advice is taken
from an exchange but is as applicable
to Prescott as to any other town:
every business man in town ought
to keep display advertisement, even
if small one, i'll his home paper. The
paper is expected to show what lines
of business and those not shown are
not counted i'm by outside people
who read the paper. Then the absence
of standing advertisement is con-
slant invitation for opposition in your
business. \ newspaper man is always
glad to welcome a man who is friend
to printer ink. "
