- Here is another proof that advertising in
q widely circulated newspaper always pays: A
man came to The UNION Office who wanted to
advertise, by poster only, small lot of per-
sonal property. He said that what he had
would fetch from $175 to $500. He was ad-
vised to insert bis advertisement in THE UNION
also, as by that means more people would see
it and he would draw larger crowd to the sale
and thereby get better prices. He finally con-
sented and paid SO instead of $3.50. Re
suit: His sale amounted to nesrly $3.50, and
he said he never in his life invested $40 that
gave him so much satisfaction.
