THEY BRING BUSINESS.

One Of the leading merchants
of Philadelphia has this TO say OF
advertising, and it is worth any
business mans time to read it for
the truth there is in it:
eve have been in the mercan-
tile business in this city a good
many years, and we must say
that one Of the lessons we have
learned by that experience is
that truthful advertising is es-
sential to success. When | say
truthful advertising I mean ex-
actly what l say. | mean that
when a merchant advertises that
on a certain day he will offer to
the public certain goods at bar
gain prices he must. in order to
attain abiding success, do pre-
cisely as he announces his inten-
ton Of doing. If he advertiSes
bargains he must give them. II
he does otherwise the public is
not long in dicOvering the decep-
tiOn and he finds former patrons
going elsewhere.
eve have employed a great
deal of space in the newspapers
and by giving the people bar
gains when we advertised to do
so we have gained and are retain
ing the confidence of discrimi-
mating buyers who realize that
when we announce that we are
going to cut prices on certain
lines of goods we mean to keep
that promise. And in this con-
nection let me say that we have
found the use of the newspapers
the best method by which to
reach the public. There are
many means of advertising, but
the newspaper is the best medium
regardless of the business sought
to place before the public. We
have tried many methods, but for
results we look to the newspa-
pers."
