cAcHET FOR THE PETTIc0AT
Band of Ribbon at the Knees Adds to
Effect Of Costume-Also May
Be Worn Around Bust.

The question of petticoats Is most
important one just now, for with the
narrow skirts and the lacy underslips
required by fashion, one wonders how
girl is to acquire even that semi
clothed look that is rather expected of
her. for her colored stockings will
show at the knees IL she wears lace
petticoat, and there is no room for her
skirts-however, a band Of ribbon
about six or seven inches wide can be
run on fiat at the knees and win great
ly add to the effect of her costume. An
other wide ribbon may be worn
straight around the bust under the
arms and will bring out the lace bras
siere on top of her princess slip. and
In the uncorseted days, IL the ribbon
be boned slightly at front and back,
may really be worn with a wellmade
lace brassiere instead Of corset, II

now en- regle.

Advertising, And What is
Said About Advertising

Advertising is sometimes called
expense, other times investment.
The successful merchant calls 1T
investment and the failure, ex-
pense. To make a success OF adj
vertising one must be prepared
to stick like a barnacle on a boat S
bottom.
Don't Advertise spasmodically,
like some people take medicine,
Such people run to the doctor for
few tablets or pills, but they
only take few doses. The rest
they throw away, saying that
the medicine is no good. People
who advertise spasmodically get
no more good from the advertis-
ing than such people do from the
medicine.
Advertise Regular Advertis-
ing is the greatest tonic known
to build up a business and to
strengthen it against competi-
ton. There is no other advertis-
ing as good as newspaper adver-
Using properly applied, and there
are few better mediums than The
Belington Progressive, viii Oh
covers the territory in and about
this town, county and state. If
you are not advertising in the
Progressive you are missing an
opportunity to draw trade to your
store. Why not call up bell
phone at once and let us call on
you and arrange for some adver-
Using.
If You want to help boom
your city, Advertise. Every
advertisement helps bring trade
to not only the advertiser, but
helps brings business to the city,
in addition to that which he him
self gets; while every non-adver-
tiser permits business to ge t
away from his city which h e.
might influence to come.
The Progressive reaches more
people who can be influenced to
deal in our city than can be reach
ed thru any mailing list or other
method, and it reaches them at a
lower cost.
II stranger were to judge who
is the m ost enterprising mer-
chant in your town, who is the
next most enterprising, tn e
third most enterprising, and SO
on, would you rank in the first
division or among those who also
ran?
Strangers generally Judge
these things from the advertis-
ments in the newspapers; and
they generally buy from those
whom they consider the most en-
terprising merchants, because
one can do better there. If you
want to attract the trade of new
corners, advertise in the Progress
i've. Call or Phone for partic-
ulars.
