A writer in Scribuer's Mairiuin for January says one store in Phila delphia spends $1,000 a day for tid vertisiug and that many others in the same city spend $500. As they have been investing thoso amounts in advertising for a number of years, aud are still doing so, it may be tak en for granted that they havo found it to pay. This is because tbey un derstand how to udvertiso, and do so judiciously, just as careful busi ness men conduct other branches of their business. Just us surely as advertising pays tho larger stores will it pay the Biuallor concerns, if it is properly attondod to, by which is meant proper working, attractive display and the use of uewspnpers that are read by the buying com munity, aud above all, the ability to supply tho article advertised. In ad vertising there should bo no decep tion. Laciidbt I Lauvdbt 1 Beno C. Spitler will send laundry on Mon day. . Beat rork, lowest price. Candidates' Cards. APnlltl.l ... hZT.
