Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing yout
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
oreates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.
