Bread is the staff of life, and advertising is the staff of life in trade. Don’t attempt to advertise unless you have a good stock of meritorious articles. That is just what is kept at C. W. Hinkle’s Drug Store. advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. People will believe what they see rather than what they hear, and seeing that the Drugs kept by Wesley Thompson are fresh and pure, they are fully satisfied and continue their patronage.

From the Cincinnati Commercial of February 16th. Value of Advertising in Cincinnati.. The Cincinnati newspapers have a national reputation, and circulate largely over half a dozen States.— We desire it understood that we do not attempt to appropriate for the Commercial exclusively this extended and excellent reputation. A share of it belongs to us, and we are not anxious as to the public appreciation of the portion that is ours. But we may speak more particularly of the Commercial because we know whereof WO speak in that connection. The Commercial circulates largely in Western Pennsylvaniai H’esf Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky , Tennessee, Indiana, Southern Illinois, and at all important points on the'Mississippi River, and considerably in Southern Michigan and Missouri. Other Cincinnati papers are throughout this vast region. The territory of the Cincinnati papers extends a day's railroad ri>.{e in every direction from the city. Thy* trade of the city can be restored throughout this territory by the aid of the press. Too many of onr manufacturers have a feeling that advertising in the newspapers is not exactly the tiling. They would be willing to pay for “reading matter,” but do. not like to be palpable advertisers. When they educate themselves out of these delusions they will see their ad- [ vantage in the knowledge that a business j man's advertisement, for which he is plainly-responsible, ts.of the nature of an official document, and receives move considerate attention than a puff in the reading matter , and is both more valua--1 bie and respectable.
