ADVERTISEMENTS.

When people see a man advertise they kuow he is a business man, and his advertizing pro- claims that he is not above busivess, but anxious to doit. Customers, like sheep, are gregarious, and flock where they see others go. If nobody else were engaged in the same business, it would be important to tradesmen and dealers to adver- tize in the paper, because they are tempted to buy what they read of. But others are engaged in the same business, and even if they do ad- vertize, it becomes the more important for you to doso; ‘if they do not advertize it becomes doubly important.— Anon.”
