JUST ADVERTISE The safest, surest and least expensive way to establish a business <s to advertise it in the newpapers. The wisest way to maintain a business after it has been established is to advertise it in the newspapers. The only way to revive a business should it start down, is to advertise it in the newspapers. Every business can be made more profitable by wise newspaper advertising. There is no asset in your business of more value than newspaper advertising. You can figure it out in dollars and it will be on the right side of the ledger. Your business is being pushed for you when you are sleeping, or, on your vacation, by advertising in the newspapers. Newspaper advertising makes a blade of grass grow where before there was none. Newspaper advertising digs up business for you, often discovering “acres of trade” right in the territory where you least expected it. Newspaper advertising makes you well and favorably known. Newspaper advertising gives you the confidence of the people, which *s the greatest known factor in any business. Newspaper advertising is

good to hunt up trade when times are dull and it is valuable to direct trade to you when times are good. The newspaper with your advertisement goes into the homes of the best people every day and stays there. Newspaper advertising is often the life-line that brings back to you your sinking trade. You never heard a progressive advertiser complaining about newspaper advertising. He knows it pays him. It is the man who has never tried it who complains. There is no speculation in newspaper advertising. Results are as sure to follow newspaper advertising as the fivers are to flow to the sea. Since these things are accomplished by newspaper advertising it surely 's not good business to stay in the background and peg away as you have been doing for years. Advertise in the newspapers and let the sunlight in; let the people know what you wish to buy and what you wish to sell. Interest yourself in the art of advertising; get new ideas and put them in the newspapers. This will make your business in harmony with the spirit of the times. The newspaper —the up-to-date, reliable newspaper, is the one great medium for advertising.—The Hoosier.

I took nearly every kind of cough syrup grid on the market, besides medicine given me by Physicians. 7 I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me to try Vinol, and after taking three bottles I wm entirely cured.
