BANKERS ON ADVERTISING.

Bankers are hard-hcaded busi-
ness men, basing their deductions
on proved facts, and the following
published in the American Bankers
Magazine, is sound advise.
mo business man in any town
should allow a newspaper published
in his town to 20 without his name
and business being mentioned in its
columns. This does not mean you
should have whole, half or even
a quarter page ad in each issue Of
the paper, but your name and bust
ness should be mentioned, il you
do not use more than 2-line space.
A stranger picking up newspaper
should be able to tell what business
is represented in a town by look
ing at the paper. This is the best
possible town advertiser. The man
who does not advertise his BUSH
ness does an injustice to himself and
the town. The man who insists on
sharing the business that comes to
town, but refuses to advertise his
own is not valuable addition to
any town The life 81 i town de-
