They inserted an ad- vertisement in a local newspaper in- viting ail and sundry to their next meeting and also announce that they will welcome any inquiries. It is a case of "speak now or forever hold your peace."--4Ialdimalld Advocate.

"Right here in the headlines it says: 'Light native cow hides 7 cents."

The officers asked to join the Scout Movement as a result of the impres- sion made upon them by visiting Sea Scouts from various parts of Eng- land. Baden-Powell, Cartoonist It is not generally known that Lord Baden-Powell, originator of the Scout Movement, is one of England's lead- ing cartoonists, although confining himself chiefly to poking fun at him- self and his Boy Scouts. FIe could have made cartooning a highly luc- rative life profession, had he so de- sired. - INVITATI S COL NT Many a non -advertising retailer keeps back from advertising just because he feels that it is nec- essary to advertise in a big way and because he is not ready to advertise in a big way. To keep back from our newspaper until you are ready to use big space is just as foolish as would be keeping a child gout of school until it had the ability to pass its ma- triculation examination. Beginners in every form of enterprise need to go warily; until experience .and practice and growing ability warrant thele to .attempt larger things, they should proceed cautious - 13r. It will pay some retailers to use classified ad- vertisements and small spaces of 2 and 3 inches. These little advertisements will surely get seen and read by newspaper readers. Make small advertise- ments offer special merchandise. Change them fre- quently. A quick succession of little advertisments, everyone of which is alive, will of a certainty effect sales—will, attract new customers. The thing to be frightened of is dulnbness: a retail store which does not talk to the public by means of newspaper adver- tisements misses a lot of 'business. The public goes where it is invited to go. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECO' D A FINE MEl9IIZYM P011 ADVERItTISING.--VRAD ADS. ?f Ai FWS IS15UB PHONE 4
