over in an Ohio town a post
master who appreciated the value
of advertising prepared a large
display lad" for the local paper
stating that he had the largest,
brightest, newest and best select
ed stock ofpostage stamps in the
country. That he would sell
them at thelowest possible figure,
warrant them to DO what was
represented, would sell them in
quantities to suit the purchaser,
guarantee them to carry letters
as far as any stamps and wound
up by saying he was backed by
the government. This advertise
ment tickled the people to death
and they sent for hundreds of
miles to buy stamps of him. Not
a man came to town but purchas
ed a supply of postage stamps,
although prices we're no cheaper
than elsewhere. He made a nice
thing as his income depended on
the amount of stamps sold, he is
now in private business and John
Bumper thinks advertising is as
good as ready money. The key
note to prosperity is to advertise
judiciously, and by doing so reap
the benefit therefrom.
