him drunk for the purpose , but he

"One Is Quick to ±
Suspect Where
One PI as Suffered : :
Harm Before. "
Perhaps there are some busi11
ness men in this town who have ; I
tried advertising and found the j *
results unsatisfactory.
If so. something was the
trouble. Contracting for space
in a newspaper is not enough.
When secured the space must
be used to advantage. . A con
vincing story should be told.
A plant will not grow unless it
is tended. An impression can
not be made upon the purchas
ing public except by careful ,
persistent work.
Many merchants err grievously in be
lieving that time spent upon their ads
is time wasted. No time can be made
more profitable.
We believe the advertising
columns of this paper can be
used profitably by any one who
seeks to reach the buyers of
this community. We will gladly
aid any one who desires to try
it or who is trying it and is not
satisfied.
