the following sensible observations from the toledo blade it sometimes oc curs that a business man geneiatly h div ever one of the timid sort doing a half- vay business thinks that advertising is of no value because its results are not always immediately and directly visible such persons are unable to understand why cus tom cannot be directly traced to the source where they expended their money tonblaan it business as like a river with minj tributaries and in which it ia impossible to trace every individual drop of water to the spring from whence it came but if a journal is selected for advertising purposes that veaches time and again the persons most likely fo be interested in the solution that paper s certainly a sure fountain head of profitable trade in the stream of patron age far below temporary advertisements in a small way will not produce au imme diate or permanent increase of business a ly more than a slight shower will affect the depth of water in a well but by persistency in the use of printer s ink in the right direc tion the results sought will be gained in uie end with mteiest arbor day success j acton celebrated hei fouith annual arbor day last tnday
