Our correspondent, "H. T. T." in las,
weeks BULLETIN, made a hit that struck
the patent organ across the way in a ten
der spot, and accordingly it this week
opens upon "H. 7. T." with all man

differing in political belief with that NOR
al journal. Considering the source, it is
a compliment.

local paper of his debtor.
So long as his customers advertised lib
orally and vigorously, he rested easy, but
as soon as he began to contract his adver-
Using space, he took the fact as evidence
that there was trouble ahead, and he inva-
riably went for his debt Says he, the
man who is too poor to advertise is too
poor to do business The withdrawal of
an advertisement is an evidence of weak
ness that business men are not slow to
discover and act upon
