Prefers short credits to long ones, and cash to credit at all times. either in buying or selling ; and small profits in credit cases. with little risk to the chance of better gains with more hazard.
He is clear and explicit in all his bar- gains.
Leaves nothing of consequence to memo- ry which he can and ought to commit to writing.
Keeps copies of all his important letters which he sends away, and has every letter, invoice, &c., relating to his business, titied. classed, and put away.
Never suffers his desk to be confused by many papers lying upon it.
Is always at the head of his business. well knowing that if he leaves it it will leave him.
Holds it as a maxim that he whose credit is suspected is not one to ho trustti.
Is constantly examining his books, and sees through his whole affairs as far as care and attention will enable him.
Balances regularly at stated times, and then makes out and transmits all his ac- counts current to his customers, both at home and abroad.
Avoids as much as possible all sorts of accommodation in money matters and law- suits where there is the Icast hazard.
Ile is economical in his expenditures, al- ways living within his income.
Keeps a memorandum book in his pock- . et, in which he note- every particular rela- tive to appointments, addresses, and petty cash matters.
Is cautious how he becomes surety for any person ; and is generous when urged by motives of humanity.
Int, a man act strictly to these habits; when once begun they will be easy to con- tinne-ever remembering that he hath no ! profits by his pains whom Providence doth : of their bu-ines + what it was." not prosper-and success will attend his !
Take ploy-ure in your business, and it will become your recreation.
Hope for the best, think for the worst, and bear whatever happens.
- CASH AND CREDIT .- Jf von would get rich don't deal in bill books. Creditis the "tempt- er in a new shape." Buy goods on trust. and you will buy a thousand articles that Cash would never have dreamed of. Ashil- ling in the hand looks larger than ten shil- lings seen through the perspective of a three months bill. Cash is practical, while Credit takes horribly to taste and romance. Let Cash bny a dinner, and you will have beef- steak flanked with onions. Send Credit to market, and he will return with eight pair of woodeocks and a peck of mushrooms .- Credit believes in diamond pins and cham- pagne suppers. Cash is more easily satis- fed. Give him three meals a day, and be don't care much if two of them are made up of roasted potatoes and a little dirty salt. - Cash ies good adviser, while Credit is a good fellow to be on visiting terms with. If you want double chins and contentment, do business with cash.
To THOSE WHO WRITE FOR THE PRESS .- It would be a great favor to editors and printers, should those who write for the Press observe the following rules. They are reasonable, and our correspondents will reward them as snch :- 1. Write with black ink on white paper, wide ruled. 2. Make the pages small, one-fourth that of a foolscap sheet. 3. Leave the second page of each sheet blank. 4. Give to the written page an ample margin all around. 5. Number the pages in the order of their Fuccession. 6. Write in a plain bold hand. with less respect to beauty. 7. Use no ab- breviations which are not to appear in print. 8. Punctnate the manuscript as it should be printed. 9. For italics under- score one line ; for small capitals two: for capitale three. 10. Never interline without the caret to show its place. 11. Take special pains with every letter in proper names. 12. Review every word to be sure that none is illegible. 13. Put directions to the print- er at the head of the first page. 14. Never write a private letter to the editor on the printer's copy, but always on a separate -leet.
A STORY WITH A MORAL .- A Connecticut exchange tells the following story of a boy who was sent from Croton, Conn .. to New London, one day last summer, with a bag of corn. The boy was gone all day, and re- turned with the bag unopened, which he dumped on the floor. Said he --
". There is your corn, go and sell it, for I can't."
" Sold any ?"
" No: I've been all over London with it, and nobody said a word concerning green corn. Two or three fellows asked me what I had in my bag, and Itold 'em it was none
The boy is not unlike hundreds of mer- chants who will promptly call him a fool for not telling what he had to sell, and who are actually doing the same thing on a much larger scale than aid the boy, by hot adver- tising their business.

PUBLISHER'S CARD.
1 1
Before leaving the work in which I have, for the past few months, been so earnestly engaged, I desire to return thanks to all who 'e so kindly aided me in the effort to produce a work, which I co. fidently hope will prove of great value to its possessors. Those who have furnished information, (historical or otherwise,) for its paras, have my special thanks, while those who have pecuniarily aided in the way of subscriptions for advertising, will, I trust, re- ceive liberal cash dividends as the legitimate fruits thereof. Sub- scribers for the work it is hoped may find much that is new, in- structive, and valuable.
As a parting word to my friends in Ontario County, I would suggest to the business men, that very many of them would find Printer's Ink a great lubricator of the wheels of business. Too many seem to have fallen into a settled apathy, as regards business Inatters ; willing to serve such customers as come unasked to their Goors, but who make no efforts to retain at home the large amount of trade annually diverted to the cities of Syracuse and Rochester. As a general thing you are not willing to admit that the merchants. of those cities can afford to sell the same class of goods cheaper than you can. Their rents, taxes and clerk hire, usually cost far
235
PUBLISHER'S CARD.
more than yours-while your money will buy goods in market just as cheap as theirs. Why, then, should your citizens patronize the city merchants rather than yourselves ? In penning this arti- cle I can have no selfish interest in view, as my present work with you is accomplished. It is purely for your own interest that I sug- gest the propriety of your advertising more liberally. Advertise extensively, and all the time-through the columns of your local newspapers, by hand-bills, by circulars, by cards, by every nieans you can employ. Advertise; let the people know you are alive, and that you have good goods, and full assortments, in your special lines, and that you will sell cheap, at city prices. And finally, if you keep posted as to the markets, and do as you advertise, our word for it, you will very soon be surprised at the increase of your sales. I do not mean that advertising alone will build up any busi- ness, or the want of it hinder its prosperity ; but I do assert em- phatically, and had I time and space to do so, could prove by large numbers of the many thousand persons with whom I have had bus- iness, that, in nine cases out of ten, advertising liberally and long is one of the best of business investments.
Do not be deceived by the too popular idea that "you are so long established, that everybody knows where you are, and what you have to sell." I tell you it is, on your part, a grave error.
How many men in your county have been there but one or two years, or, perhaps, have just made their residence with you ? Of what benefit is your "long established reputation" in such a case. Your neighbor, perhaps, who has been in business but a few months, is just as well "established," in the mind of such a man, as "you," who boast of being "so long in business that everybody knows you and you know every body." Politely speaking, you are "an old fossil."
You will say that the new man must have some customers, and you will all stand your chances. Such a course will do very well when you are not anxious to increase your trade, or when you are quite willing to diminish it : for, while you are satisfied with this state of affairs, some more enterprising tradesman will reach your
236
PUBLISHER'S CARD.
would-be customer, and perhaps withdraw his patronage from your village altogether. You should bear in mind always, that there is a dividing point between your village and those adjacent, and that the custom of citizens living near such dividing point, generally goes to that place which holds out the most favorable inducements.
A friendly rivalry in advertising, by parties engaged in the va- rious kinds of business, is invariably noticed and commented upon by the masses who read, and tends to materially increase the busi- ness of a village. Don't be altogether selfish in your motives .- Work for the benefit of your locality, and you will surely reap your reward. In other words, build up your village, make it a center for a large strip of surrounding country.
As mediums for advertising, you have many : First of all is your Local Papers ; your Editors are all good fellows, and would be pleased to advise their many readers who to deal with. Try them ; they are liberal and uniformly obliging. Their local items, if you would allow it, might be the means of depositing many dollars in your till. As for other means of advertising, "their name is legion," the principal ingredient of which is Printer's Ink ; the benefit to be derived from which, depends more or less upon the size of doses.
With thanks to friends generally, and especially to the several thousand patrons of the "GAZETTEER AND DIRECTORY OF ONTARIO COUNTY," I leave my work for the present, hoping in after years to again meet and serve you in a similar undertaking.
