Advice 10 Advertisers.
Omaha Herald
Don't expect an advertisement to bear fruit in
one night
Bread is the staff of human life, and adverts-
ing is the staff of business
You can't eat enough in a week to last year,
and you can't advertise that plan either
thing worth doing is worth doing well
thing worth advertising is worth advertising
we'll
The enterprising advertiser proves that he un-
derstands how to buy, because in advertising he
knowns how to SELL
Ii you can arouse curiosity by an advertise
ment it is great point gained. The fair sex
don't hold all the curiosity in the world
People who advertise only once in three
months forget that most folks cannot remember
anything longer than about seven days.
Quitting advertising in dull times is like tear
ing out dam because the water is low. Either
plan will prevent good times from coming
constant dropping will wear rock Keep
dropping your advertisements on the public and
they will soon melt under it like rock salt
Trying to do business without advertising is
like winkng at pretty girl through a pair of
green goggles. You may know what you are
doing, but nobody else does
1t is mistaken notion that fine store in an
eligible location, surrounded by attractive signs,
is superior advertisement; for the experience
of most enterprising merchants is that it pays
better to spend less in rent and more on adyer
Using.
Enlerprising people are beginning to learn
the value OF advertising the year round The
persistence of those who are not inundated by
the cry of dull times, but keep their names ever
before the public, will surely place them on the
right side in the end
A mans sign offers mute invitation to those
only who pass his place of business his circu-
lars can only reach those to whom personal al
tenllon is Civ en-; but his announcement in a
newspaper goes into the highways and byways,
finding customers and compelling them TO con-
slider his arguments.

sing me song tonight, love,
song Of the restless sea,
Fun Of the syren fingers
That stir 1t marvelously:
Twisting and coiiing the crested waves
They break on the further shore,
And hear the mystic mnrmer
Above the wild seas roar
Sing me song, love, full of the storm
When the hapless ship goes down,
And brave men laugh in the face OF fate.
And weak men shrieking drown
Sing Of the sea gull's parting cry
AS 1t laughs at the tossing wreck,
And fiaps it's wings in dire contempt
OF mana sinking speck-
For my soul is tossed to- night on wave
As wild as the ocean gives,
When ship and sailors all 90 down
But the power Of the One still lives
Sing me song tonight. love,
Full OF the clamor OF fight,
When Nations strip for the struggle
And dare for the Day or Night
Full spf the bugle's sweetness,
And wild, strange clamor of dru m,
The sound that startles stiffness
When the tramping soldiers come
The quickening fever of battle,
The crash and shrek of shell,
When. as one goes to supper,
We lean to the mouth of he'll
Smoke, and the moan of horses.
The groans of dying men,
Sweet as the scented darlings
That fill the ball rooms ken
For the soul is at its highest
When it shaketh hands with death.
And the life-the life of Heaven
Is on dead mans breath !
So s'ng me a song of tossing flags
Where the battle squadrons are
For my soul Is fighting fiercer foe
Than the fiery hounds of war.
