Country store advertisizg is 1m- proving, and as it improves it grows more interesting aud all the better for the interest it excites. It was formerly of little consequence, because country storekeepers took little interest in this department of their own buisness. ‘he advertising was unpopular, was neglected, and regarded as a bore because it was considered an expense rather than a source of profit. Shrewd men have taken the adyertising ex- pense account from the “black- list it formerly occupied, and put itin the light so that we can plainly see just what its value is and its probable and profitable returns. Money is now spent, not grudgingly as formerly, but freely and voluntariiy, and in some instances, lavishly. That n may be thrown away, the quality of country store adver- tising should be carefully con- sidered and every help toward goodness adopted. We. quote the tollcwing suggestion from an exchange, as possibly @ useful one: “A good plen for busy dealers to put into operation, and one that has been tried with success, is to put every clerk in the house uvon his mettle aud award some prize to the one who gets up the best arranged ar most uttractive advertisemert. The moment they feel a spirit of gocd natured rivairy they begin to devote their spare moments to the questicn, and oftentimes they think out a policy that is not only a surprise to ‘themselves, but to their employers., It also serves aS & drill in one of the first essentials to a good merchant. This ap- plies as well to circular an- nouncements as tu newspaper ads.” [he average country clerk has no concep 100 of any special tal- ent or adaptability he may pos- sess that might be usefally ap-- ptied to business affairs. He re- gards the “Ola Man” as an oracle; wonders how he happens to know so much, aud where he learned it, but doesn't dream of setting out to likewise learn, nor even ct probing for an? latent talent he may hiwself possess. Ha» needs spurring, ard it will be to his employer's advantage t> use the spur- We speak by the card 12 tuis matter; we were & country clerk ourself once upon a time, and retrospect’ holds up to us to- day more than a trifle of time wasted for want of a spurring — Dry Goods Ckronicle. al How the Old Man Was Converted- “This hear epeculatin’ in wueat on the stock exchange is gamblin’ pure an’ simple,” said the farmer, who was a deacun and a strict disciplinarian, “an’ the Lord won't prosper thei that wins by it.” “Well, father,” replied his son “[’m sorry to hear that, for I placed that money you gave me and made $900 by the deai,” The old man coughed, wiped his classe8, and then said: “Well,” well!
