HERE'S A CHANCE TO GET
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
The Advertiser Offers for a Time
Some Advertising Space Free
to Subscribers.
Advertising is offered free.
Tue Advertiser offers it.
For any subscriber who is paid up,
Tub Advertiser will print, one time,
an advertisement of not more than 25
words without any charge whatever.
For each word over 26, tho cbargo
will be one cent oach t'.mo the adver
tisement appears.
Thus The Advertiser is again of
fering something new.
1 What !s the object?
What will Tue Advertiser make
by it ?
I Well, The Advertiser Is not pub
lished for "its health," as the saying is.
Here is the scheme: People in Lau
rens do not Indulge In transient or
1 short ad'. This business is not what it
should be.
The AnVKRTisER believes that if the
people could once learn that an adver
tisement of a cow for sale, or a posl
lion wanted, op wood for sale, or chick
ens or eggs, butter, milk, cottonseed,
peas, hay, and a hundred other things,
will pay, they would advertise more.
Hence these free ads. are offered for
a short time only, with tho aim of get
t'nff business.
Remember that a frea ad. will go in
but onco for the same subscriber. If ho
wants it for a second time, tho price
w111 bo one cent a word and not loss
than 25 words.
If you have anything to sell, a plan
tation, a cow. a dog, if you want any
thing from a railroad down to a three
dollar mule, try an advertlsemebt?not
over 85 words?in The Advektisek,
free.,
The aim is to show tho people that
this sort ol advertising pays. This of
fer will be withdrawn after a few
weeks. It is only an experiment. It
It only made to paid-up subscribers.
The Offer of the News and Courier
with The Advertiser for One Year
Lasts Only to February ist.

nobility, every grade oi freeman. Nowadays there is
but one style of dress for all classes and conditions?ap
parently?but there is a vast difference in Clothes. There
is really no reason why any man should not dress as well
as the best. If it were a question of expense it might
make a difference.

and any man who wears Minter Clothes may
rest assured that while others may dress as
well, none can dress better. Now you can buy Minter
Clothes for less than you pay elsewhere. We are giving
everyone an opportunity to try one of our suits at prices
that speak for themselves.
