The most brilliant gem that was ever taken from the efith would not amount to much if there were no peo ple to appreciate its beauty and to trie with each other for its possession. The most spacious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modern develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag, nificent. Through them all of the information can be supplied, not to one, but to thousands. An you using this paper Ip the beat advantage? PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
