The large city stores are spending large ' sums every year to secure notice from the purchasing public. The mer- chant in small places will have to do the same thing, or they Will ultimately be forced to drop out of the business. It may seem bad taste for a local newspaper to talk in this way, and the narrow- minded merchant is sure to think he is doing it for the purpose of gaining advertising patronage. To be honest about it, every neWs- paper publisher likes to have his .paper well patronized with good. catchy, trade-getting advertise- ments, but no honest ,conscientious man in the. business cares for ' a class of advertising that does not bring profit to the advertiser.
