Advertising Talk
by NIerI.

Can any reader of the Evenin
Bulletin fail to notice the persist
ent, aggressive and intelligent adver-
Using that Is being done In the col
umns of this paper daily? And having
noticed the same, have you noticed the
stores of these advertisers? There Is
not n bit of doubt about the volume of
business they are doing. There GER
tainly must be admiration for the mer-
chant who is never in doubt as to how
to proceed to sell goods that are arriv-
ing by every steamer.
These merchants go at advertising In
the right way. 1t means that the bus
mess announcements OF the store win
be received by the public with the same
confidence with which they accept the
certified statement of national bank,
and It Is in these stores that people
trade the heaviest.
Advertising space filled with the
right kind of advertising will pay.
