" WHERE TO TRADE.
Till? firm that advertises the
most liberally is the firm that can
always offer the best bargains to the
buyer. There are .some who assert
that where large advertising bills
are contracted sale prices must
range higher in order to equalize:
but they who know declare it is
directly to the opposite. They say
that the large and careful advertiser
so augments his sales that he can
sell at a much smaller margin of
profit than the firm doing no adver
tising because he handles so much
more stock: and the stock is,
naturally, cleaner, fresher and more
up-lo-the-niiiiutetind careful buyers
flock there.
In every community it is the
careful and insistent advertiser
who works up the new business
and constantly inci eases the old.
People read pacrs jKjrhaps more
than some merchants Miptwisc: and
it is the advertiser who displays his
timely bargains that reaps the trade
of those seeking the liest. It is
true that there is a small cr cent

rights of their grist mills. Unable eight miles, making seventeen miles
to settle the matter by themselves,
We write this with the belief and
understanding that each and all of
you are conservative men and that
all are anxious to continue St.
Johns as a growing municipality.
We are farther filled with the idea
that you have been handicapped by
a charter whose limitations are so
wonderful and fierce as to provoke
laughter from those who carefully
read it.
You each and every one of you

fill by the voters of this town. It is

each called to his assistance a keen,
sagacious lawyer, The rhyme fol
lows along the case very nicely and
at the close tells how the case cul
minated like this:
"The cost of these law services
Were settled without bother;
One lawyer took the lower mill,
The upper mill, thc other."
It now looks as if the city of St.
Johns was going right along in
about the same lines. The one side
makes a proposition: the other vir
tually concedes to it: then there is
hedging: then 11 semi-yielding.
Then comes a Hat refusal. Can it
be K)ssible that all fear a settlement
and that none desire it? Perish
the thought!
