will admit and so will we, that vast sums O.
money are foolishly invested in advertising b!
business men which brings no return.


So it is reader, manufacturers and trades
men pay large sums OF money annually thai
you may be thoroughly acquainted with their
system of doing business, what they sell, how
they sell. You give it passing glance, pro-
nounce it humJug, all puff and blow, forget
it. and thus fail to reap the benefit designed.
A wiser course would be, determine carefully
If possible whether the statements you find
are false or otherwise. You will then be pre-
pared to act wisely. Truth and error are
mingled in all the walks of life, but truth is
none the less to be priced.


If the thing advertised is good, why not say
so in strong terms, if it is the best in the
market, let the fact be admitted. if it is cheap
as can be afforded certainly there can be no
harm in having it we'll understood.


We wish our friends happy New Year and
merry Christmas, and thank you for your en-
couragement and aid.
