when to stop.

The following answers were re-
ceived by an English paper In re-
sponse to request for opinions as to
when to stop advertising;
When the population ceases TO
multiply and the generations that
crowd on after you and never heard
OF you stop coming on
When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower
prices than they can get anywhere
else.
When you perceive II TO be the
rule that meu who never advertise
are outstripping their neighbors in
the same line OF business.
When men stop making fortunes
right in your sight solely through
the direct use Of the mighty agent.
When you can forget the words OF
the shrewdest and most successful
business men concerning the main
cause OF their prosperity.

the robber fired. Harris dropped In a

Harris cried out again and made n

counter, The taller robber turned on
her, and, taking quick aim, fired a see
