PRYOR STRUT ATLANTA, GA. That the profit derived from newspaper advertising in six years has enabled him to increase his appropriation for that purpose from $2,000 annually to SBO,OOO per annum is the remarkable statement made by a mail order seedsman of Atlanta. This man started right, for with the open ing of his business he set aside a certain sum to be expended in newspaper advertising. That it paid him is shown by the way in which he has increased his ex penditures along this line. Of course we aren’t expecting anv firm in Tilton to turn loose SBO,- 000 a year for advertising but any merchant wh©' wishes to in crease his business can do so by persistent and judicious adver tising, provided he has a good, salable stock and! treats his cus tomers right.—Tiftpn Gazette.
