firmly in printers ink and their bust

Just now, in st. Cloud, there is an

pany that has had experience in it, has
invested fortunes in it and knows it
PAYS We call attention to what the
new Thompson Yards, Inc" is doing
in the way of advertising. We urge
our readers to visit their exhibit in the
Times building on Monday next, and
see their display. Then we advise you
to watch the result of their advertising
and what it will accomplish.
Then, as showing the results of fail
ure to advertise, we suggest that our
merchants visit our railroad freight
depots and take look at the storage
of mail order house goods stored there,
coming to people in this city and sur
rounding country. This is due to the
mail order house system of advertis-
ing, and the failure of home merchants
to advertise and show to our people
that they can do better to trade with
their home merchants-which is abso-
luteiy true, and get superior goods.
The object lesson is on!
