If you want to do business you must let the ■ people know it. Standing advertisements, when frequently changed, are better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more substantial aud business-like, and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business without a clerk as without advertising.” This is advice which all business men would do weli to follow, but it must be borne in mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circulation, The Kawhia, Settler is one of the bast papers to. advertise in.
