Gladstone once defined adver- Using as the marvellous power Of constant reiteration.
 That happy phrase offers an explanation of the wonderful power of the newspaper as a business-builder. The power of reiteration continued from day to day is possessed by the news paper alone among advertising media.
 The newspaper enters the home as a friend every day.
 It is read by every member of the family. It is possible for business to have its name and it's appeal before the people all the time.
 They grow to. know it.
 Whenever they have a want to besupplied they turn to the needed article which they have known through newspaper ad- vertising as naturally as they would turn to an old friend.
