The February Furniture Sale Is a PHI
In the Early Days of
Newspaperdom
it used to be said and generally believed
THAT which is printed must be true"

That vital questions were settled decisively
when printed by authority of an editor or
publisher.
When the early to rise and late to rest
system of storekeeping and the days of
apprentices existed, and the lads leaned over
counters all day and lay down under them to
sleep at nights, there was little advertising.
Merchandise was shown on pavement counters
and outdoors to make its own appeal to the
public presenting daily solicitation somewhat
like this:
"Wanted because it may be bought;
Bought because it may be lDanted."
Nowadays, half of the daily newspapers,
Notwithstanding the high cost of white paper,
are given up to the most extravagant and costly
pages single and double, of pictured broadsides,
regardless of expense.
The question of the high cost of advertise
ments, and whether it is worth what it costs, is
live topic with merchants.
The people are coming to know that there
are always under the roof of this big central
building the largest and freshest assortments in
the city, whether we so advertise or not
