Advertise your business. Do not hide yourligbl
under a bushel. Whatever your calling or oecupa
tion may be, if it needs support from th publ'c, ad
vertise it thoroughly and effectually ia some shape
or other, that will arrest public atteution., I freely
confess that what succet s I have had in life nay
fairly be attributed more to the public press than to
nearly all other causes combined. There may poi
eibly be occupations that do not require advertising
but 1 cannot well conceive what they, are.. P. T..
Basncm.
I have always considered advertising liberally
and long to bo the, great medium f saecen'in bu
ness, and the prelndo to wealth And I have mads
it an invariable rule. too, to advertise in tbtf dullest
tlwo, a Jong xp jrience bavins; toughtTaa thtTaov
ney thus spent is well laid out; and by keeping aj
business conl anally before- the public, has seenrtd
mo many sales that I other wise would, have lost..
Stephen Oikard.
hatcver success I may have had ia business I
owe mainly to continuous Advertising, and I deem
it god policy to advertise long in the sarao papers.
From a close observation, I am fully convinced that
it ia impossible to mako much headway in aa braneft
of commerce, without the facilities which the Trcsi
alone can give. Jacob Ridgeway.
My motto through life has been work and Adver
tise. In business, Advertising is th true-Philoso-.
fher's stone, that tarns whatever k touches to gp'd.
ha'e advertised mncb, both ia the weekly and the
daily papers ; ncr have I found that these of th
largest cieculation of cither class benefitted ma
the most. John J. Astoh. , -
