Pointer for the Re,aII Merchant.

When trade Is dull bring Your
goods and wares To the attention of
the public. You cannot push yonr
business by withdrawing II from pub
lie consideration.
Your show windows are all right
for display, bat trey will not attract
attention unless you bring the goods
represented in them To the notice of
those who require them.
The cheapest advertising yon can
employ is that Of the colum ms of a
widely circulate newspaper. Circu
lars go into the waste basket gener.
ally before they are read. The news
paper, on the otner hand. is read on
an average by two to fye persons in
the house To which 1t is delivered.
Now is the time to take advantage
OF your competitor in business who
is waiting for the return Of flush
times. Get ahead Of him by adver-
tislng while he is waiting. The sue
cessful merchant is The one who
keeps everlasunely at il IN the ac-
veftlslug columns.

The Vacant Lot Work

BrldgepOrt's movement in the va cant lot cultivation business has been successful and in various sec uons of the city men are at work who will derive a substantial benefit rom the scheme and he able to lay Tn supply of winter food that will he long way ahead of nothing when the cold days come again and should there be a business revival before that time. as is altogether probable, these people will be just so much ahead of the game" Other cities have proved the usefulness Of this system of self-help in years past and others are considering the de- sirability of taking it up. Why not cultivate our vacant lots?" says the New Haven Palladium. "A thou sand men could be placed at work in cultivating the vacant and unim- proved land in and about the city. Men out of work need food. Men out of work need work Here is a chance to provide food at reasonable prices and to give work to men who need the money. The owners of un- improved land would gladly allow the unemployed to till it. The unem- ployed should he more than glad to till it. Would not this prove a good work for the churches. the civic so- cieties or perhaps the Y. NJ. C. A. to become interested in?"
