seen. Bolivar is one of the most

sembled to witness the distribution
OF presents to the young people
from a well filled tree. 1t was de-
cIded only few days before hand

WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING.

An English trade journal once re-
quested number OF its largest adver-
tisers to give their opinion concerning
the best time to stop advertising, and
the following replies were received:
When population ceases to multiply
and the generations that crowd on after
you, and never heard of you stop com
ing on.
When you have convinced every
body whose life touches yours that YOU
have better goods and lower prices than
they can ever get any where else
when you perceive it to be the rule
that men who never advertise are out
stripping their neighbors in the same
line of business"
when men stop making fortunes
right in your very sight solely through
the discreet use of this mighty agent. )"
"When you can forget the words of the
shrewdest and most successful business
men concerning the main cause of their
prosperity"
when every man has become so
thoroughly a creature of habit that he
VIII certainly buy this year where he
bought last year."
"When younger and fresher houses
In your line cease starting up and us
ing the news papers in telling the peo-
pie how much better they can do for
them than you can"
"W hen you would rather have your
own way and fail, than take advice
and win
