—How a store keeper can reconcile the statement that “it is fresh butter, just brought in this morning,’’ when it is as stout as Harrington’s hay press and sings. “Darling, I am growing old,” and the next morning tells a Sunday school class that he promised a dying mother never to tell an untruth, is a matter we leave to his Maker. —[Goodland Herald. —The silliest plea made by some business men who do not patronize the columns of a newspaper, is that they are “too well known to need advertising.” If the same people were in this county now that inhabited it twenty years ago; if none died or none were born, and if new eettiers were not constantly pouring into our county, and if there was no competition in business, then there would be a shadow of sense in such a position. But where there are constant changes in population, and lively competition in trade, no man is ever ‘‘too well Known” to advertise. He may flatter himself with the thought that he is, but in course of time he will ascertain that his younger but enterprising advertising neighbor is a good deal more favorably known than himself. There is progreos in everything, and the man who expects to do a lively business must let the people know that he has something to sell them. The people expect it and pationize the man who is anxious for their custom, and who thinks enough of it to politely ask for it through the newspaper. —[Good'and Herald. An immense stock of merchant tailoi goods, just received, atT. M. Jones’. Those contemplating building will do well to examine goods and ascertain prices, at he hardware store of E. L. Clark, before going elsewhere. A large stock of dried and canned Fruits, at C. C. Starr’s among which can be found choice California fruits, such as Apricots, Peach and Green Gage Plums.
Why is it that A. Leopold does thh largest business in Rensselaer? It is because he buys all his goods for cash down, pays no rents, and does business wholly upon his own capital. As an artistic cutter and fitter, Jones, the tailor, can’t be beat. Call and see his new and elegant stock of merchant tailor supplies. It is simply immense. Jones, the tailor, has just opened outthe largest, finest, best and cheapest stock of cloths for men and boys’ clothing ever brought to thd county. Call aud see it.
