When you have convinced everybody

When you perceive it to be the rule that
men who never advertise are outstripping
their neigbhors in the same line Of basi-

When men stop making fortunes right in
your sight solely through the discreet use
Of the mignty agent.
When you can forget the words OF the

year.
When younger and fresher houses in your
line cease starting up and using the news
