Advertising Pays. A Star reporter asked a merchant yesterday how business was. Knowing i.uoi. mere were, a ureal manv others who carried the same line of goods and that tbe competition sometimes reduced profits very materially, the reporter ex pected to hear expressions of complaint and discouragement, and he was agree ably surprised by the reply that business was about all one - could wish. There lfoogroiindiorjsarprise, however, wnca ucTcuccica mat tne merchant in question was a regular advertiser in the Star. Advertising is really a species of in dustry, proof of which is found in the fact that the most industrious business m;n almost invariably make freest use of the advertisingcolumns in their local paper. . Find a merchant whose win dows are always bright an'd handsome ly dressed, and whose goods are dis played in novel and attractive ways, and you will find one who does not fail to advertise. He who advertises regularly and judiciously "sows with one hand and gathers with two." The Wand9rera Bsanion.
