Does Advertising Pay?

1t has come to be recognized as a
fact that the merchant who does the
best business and enjoys the most
prosperity is the one who does the
most and best newspaper advertising.
1t stands TO reason that this is So 1t
is the logical conclusion of an admis-
sion that it pays TO advertise. As prov
ing that newspaper advertising pays,
we find in an exchange a couple of in
cidents related by w. A. Summers, a
shoe dealer of Hartford, Conn. The in
cidents, which are from his own eX-
perience, Mr.. Summers referred to in
an address before the Associated Re

session in Boston.
About three years ago one of his

NEW YORK, June 10.-The usual re-

mand was attracted. The sufficiency
of such a demand to absorb the profit
taking sales on Monday by the profess

Regarded in that light the action of

1.-The appearance of strength last week
UThe moderate advances of the first hour

Ipecially as Saturdays gold shipments
