The;y let the people of this sec tion know that Howe's Great Show would be here 011 a certain day. They used the newspapers, posters and other means of advertising. Advertising jusicionsly done pavs. Any merchant or firm who will brains in advertising his or their business, realizing that pub licity, or advertising, is a necessary part of the business, will always reap a good harvest.
