EVERY established local newspaper receives subscriptions from large cit- ies which puzzle the publisher, but which was explained by the New York Times lately as follows: -"A wholesale merchant in this city, who had become richt at his business, says his rule was that when he sold a bill of goods on credit, ho immediately subscribed for the local paper of his debtor. So long as ho advertised liberally and vigorously, he rested, but as soon as ho began to contract his advertising space, he took the fact as evidence that there was trouble ahead and invariably went for the dootor, Ho says the man who was too poor to make his business known was to poor to do busines, The with- drawal of an advertisement is en evi- dence of weakness omen ars not slow to aot upon."
