If people who talk abont their neighbors

Do They Read 'Em 1
There is no doubt about it; the
people read advertisements. Several
called at our office this week and
asked us to point out certain dry
goods and millinery storos 10 them,
and without an exception they asked
for those' who advertised. Not one,
but mauy, did this. Some of them
said they were struck by our article
last week urging them to trade with
advertisers, and that they intended
to do so in future, and to do all they
could to encourage enterprise. Sev
eral of these men not only had tra
ding to do for themselves, but had
trading to do for neighbors. Whero
one man may say what draws him to
a certain store, there are dozens who
say nothing, but the same influence
draws them, ust the same.
