Tlie San Francisco Merchant sensibly remarks thatther is a class of business men, or rath er men in business for thtre is a distinction with difference. who persistently refuse to advertise in any nwspajjer, and usually content themselves with subscribing to single one, and that as a rule, as old fogish in its ideas as its non advertising patrons. When such people are approached for an advertisement, which may return if$ cost1' ten or a hun dred fold, they have a stereo yped reply, 4We never adver tise; our business is large enough, and we don7t care about extending it." And yet these same men, whenever their interests are threatened or attacked by injurious legis lation, are foremost in begging the aid of the press, and "im ploring" and its "influence" in defeating the obnoxious meas ures. It never, possibly occurs to them that the influence which can avert or change leg islation, is not less powerful in directing the currents of trade to those houses most deserving of it by their superior enter prise, intelligence and liberal- In trade, as in other things, activity is life and stagnation death. A firm can no more ex pect to remain stationary than the tides that ebb and flow; if they do not increase their bus iness connections they must ex pect a falling off, because it is human nature all over to fol low the fashions of change. We frequently hear non-advertisers complain of trade gradu ally decreasing, and of old cus tomers shortening orders, or withdrawing altogether. In fact, the buyers, in such cases, are better otf than the sellers, because they have ascertained through advertisements in the press with whom it is most profitable to deal. In proof ot these assertions, let the non-advertising class peruse the papers and they will una the advertisements 01 their more prosperous and suc cessful rivals in trade filling their columns. If they desire furl her proof, let them try the effect of a little judicious ad vertising on their own account. As the old saying is, "The proof of the pudding is in the eatinr." A business man may as well try to dispense with the railroads, steamships, tele graph and all other great de- elopmentof modern civiliza tion as with advertising. The Bedrock Democrat accuses a M.
