Points on Coed ADVERTISING.

Advertising is a great help. and no
man who hopes for success in bust
ness can afford to dispense with it.
but there must be exertion on his part
as well. This naturally comes to the
tradesman who believes in liberal use
OF printers ink. There must also be
neatness of surroundings. taste in the
proper display of goods. accommodate
ing clerks and cheerfulness OF inter
course, even though no bargain ana
sale IS effected. Ordinarily all these
essentials will be found in the store
that literally advertises, for after
spending money in this way proper
recompense Will not be forthcoming
if slouchiness and Indifference and
unconeenialty prevail. Keep all sur
roundings and conditions in conform
ity to systematic and persevering ad-
vertising and the outcome eventually
will spell success.

There is no substitute for newspa-

a trade publication issued at Chicago.
The editor Of the Lumberman de-

At an advanced age waste is more

We want to say to every aged per-

an appetite, aids digestion and makes

Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
