Advertising Talk.

There are business men in every city
who would rather squander 800 on some
fake advertising scheme that would place
their card in a hotel register or in a fancy
frame at the railroad station than to
spend $40 for advertising space in the lead
ing newspaper OF their city. Their con-
ception OF good advertising permits them
to do just such things. If they would
look about them for a moment and con-
slider they would find that the most sue
cessful firms OF their city were patrons of
the advertising columns of the daily news
papers, and that tlieir appropriations for
ad vertising space do not include hotel
registers; fancy frames and similar worth
less schemes.
