cumbed and now peace and good will
reigns supreme.

LIST. Because the American people
are reading people, and see what the
newspapers contain.
I'd. Because the American people
are a shrewd, sagacious people, al
ways hunting after the most eligible
bargains.
Sd. Because the people know that
the advertiser is the liberal man, and
the liberal man will give most for
their money.
4tt. Because the advertiser is q
good business man, always keeps his
money turning, and never has any
dead stock and the buyer knows that
such man is the better man to deal
with.
9Th. Because an advertisement is a
silent, ceaseless worker,never resting.
never firing; whether ensconced on
the counting table of the rich broker,
laying upon the comfortable of the
retired merchant, or reposing upon
the pine table of the humble cottager
it is always talking, TALKING, TALK
