“ To discontinue advertising/’ says John Wanamaker, the millionaire, “ s like taking down your sign. 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 and bupiness-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 well to follow, but it must be borne n 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 best papers to advertise in.
