The fan of the year is fast APP
preaching upon the heels of the quiet
summer season. which after all has
not been at all quiet here in bust
ness as compared with some former
years, and the time is at hand, when
every merchant who wants TO do a
big and profitable business. should
get active in advertising The pop
ulation is growing larger and larg-
er and must be served AS a rule
every man goes where he can do the
best and he knows the best places 10
go to are those where the stock in
hand is advertised. The idea very
properly prevails that the man that
advertises has something new and
fresh TO sell. for he reaches the peo-
pie with his store talk through the
newspapers and is thus consistently
moving his goods and getting new
goods The man that does not ad-
vertise does not create any sensation
in moving his goods. for they usually
stay on the counter until shopworn
and then nobody wants them even at
sacrifice sale.
