If they read those of tber iieople. vmirs ? whv will thev not ec irls cnt3 om to print advertise imnts. than to send out salesmen. A giod wlvertisement is seen and read by more ieople in one day. than most sales men call ou in a year.' MiAii advertisement tells its own story. It makes no mistakes. a a solici ts might do. ami states exactly what tin merchant wants to say, neither more nor kss. Advertisements are honest ami faithful servants. Sr"Do hogs pay?" asks an agricul tural eorrcsjMMMleiit. We know of some tnat don't. They subscrile for a iper, read it for a few years for nothing, and then send it tack to tlie publisher with the P. M.'s inscription. arefued. Such Ihmis as timt p:iy nothing to anybody, if t-hcy can Ihdp it. jr-c"CuKHls speak for thoiuselves," .lit it is only after they are bought that thci en n do so. An object in advertis ing is to induce jM-ople to buy them and tt them. If goods speak for theiu Hlics. a gMMl advertisement may also jiak for the giMls. TEffSonie men can see things only retrosiKctively. Instead of looking for ward to what the might do they" only look back to what they might have done. Tliey learn from experience, after it has become a little late in the day. Such men are the non-advertisers. "Dook f.imiers" were once despised by the self called "pra-tieai" fanners, but when the latter saw the formers crops, they changed their minds. lf-r? l Mill (lutllir tmrtfi lwulr1t business without advertising. No doiibt the exciting elections, the times of war or iest!leiice, or any of those many causi's which create dull terms of busi ness .' These must be calculated for and discounted if you would bridge them over. One must make more than he needs, to make a fortune, and advertis ing is a powerful auxiliary in money making. crN o man should deprive his wife and family of a good local paper. They do not get or.t from home to learn the news as does the husband and father, and the paper serves to relieve the other wise lonely house of his absence. It is the worst lMtssible enconomy to deprive the family of a pleasure so"easi!y and cheapl prwurcd. And yet there are those who say that they are too poor to take a paper; but they are not to poor to spend twenty times the price of a paper every day for whisky and tobacco. MORE TnUTU TIIAS POETRY.
