If you toot your little whistle and
then lay aside your horn, there's not a
soul will ever know such man was
born. The man who Owls his acres
is the man who plows all day, and the
man who keeps humping is the man
who makes it pay. The man who ad-
vertises with short and sudden jerk
is the man who blames the printer be-
cause it didn't work. The man who
gets the business uses brainy printers
ink, not q cutter and sputter but an
ad that makes you think; and he plans
his advertisements as he plans his well
bought stock, and the future of his
business is as solid as rock.-EX.
