 The answers to these aues- tions may spell success or fail ure to many merchant.
 From an intimate association with a wide circle of concerns. merchandising all the necesaries of life, we venture to say:
 The quickest and surest way to reach the public is through the columns of a dependable daily newspaper like THE BULLETIN-one that has a high standing in the community 1t serves. and has the confidence of it's readers.
 The most dependable articles sold to-day are those to which the manufacturer is not afraid to attach his lahel-that Is to say, his reputation.
