KKQIriBEK ON AUVKKTISINO, There Is no newspaper, perhaps In the Stute, pursuing so independent an attitude as the YorkvlUo Enquirer. This newspaper never solicits adver- j Using, and always carries a line line, getting good rules fr/ the space used. Seldom does this newspuper "talk shop." and whenever it does there Is Kenerally something In what is said. The following is from one of those talks on the advertising business as :um by Editor Grist: All kinds of business are now un dergoing a most serious depression. Hec*uso of this depression most peo ple are trying to economize in every posslhle way, und us a measure of economy some uro curtailing their advertising. In some cases they are undoubtedly right, and personally we have no complaint. We positively do not what anybody to advertise in The Enquirer unless'they think It will f,c profitable. Hut this is n fact:. If this depression is going to he permanent, then It Is no use for anybody to ud v rtlse; but If it Is to bo only tempo rary, uni that Is what most of us hope and bonovo, then the best thing for the business man who expects to par ticipate In the better time n-comlng is lo keep himself prominently and con Umtously liefere the public. Otherwise when th- revival comes, he may wake up to hid that others have stepped in und takfu his place, and he has been lost In the shuffle.
