DON'T BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING

The man who says he don't believe
in advertising, and refuses to use the
papers for that purpose, says Brains,
generally advertises in some way or
other. Hotel registers, theatre pro-
grammes, and such things are likely
to have his ad in them. Then charg-
es what he pays in space in them to
charity or to profit and loss, and goes
on swearing that advertising does'n
pay. There ought to be a Kelley In
stitute or hospital for these lunatics,
and If some enterprising man Will
start one, we will tell him where to
find patients enough to fill it in about
fifteen minutes.
