seven, and has no more people at
services than in previous years Some
summers see general movements either
on or under preparation, but this sum-
mer nothing of either kind obtains.
A few churches have for many years
made special arrangements for summer
visitors. They have made their pews
free, have engaged choirs on winter
rates of pay, and have secured the
most famous preachers from America
and England. They have done this year

The. Advertiser.

It is a proven fact that the
man who advertises does more
business and does it easier than
the man who fails to make the
use of such means of publicity as
are at hand, says the Bartles'
vile Enterprise. This is the
opinion of St. Elmo Lewis, one
of the highest priced advertising
experts in the country. He says
that the merchant who keeps a
certain kind of underwear, or
certain kinds of shoes that have
proven of unusual value and
waits for the people to conclude
that they want that particular
brand of shoes and then come to
that merchants store to ask him
if he carries those brands, is
the kind OF man that goes out OF
business first.
If a merchant handling any
first class line of merchandise
keeps the name of his brands
and his prices constantly before
his public, he will win. Event
ually, when the people thing of
wanting anything in this class
of merchandise they will think
of this merchant. The big ad.
vertiserS in the east have all dis
covered this. 1t is because they
have found that they not only
cannot do business without ad-
vertising, but that they can do a
greatly increased business by ad-
vertising that some eastern con-
Germ spends as high as 81, 100000
a year in advertising. 1t is be-.
cause they realize the value OF
advertising that they pay $4,000
a page for advertising in the
Ladies Home Journal, and hire
men at $4,000 a year too write
their advertising. When the
retail merchant who wants to
cut down expenses begins to re-
trench on his advertising bill he
puts himself into the same class
with the WHOLESALERS who would
do such a foolish thing as to take
his travelling statesmen off the
road. When his business lags,
it generally needs a good stiff
dose of advertising.
