An exchange very truthfully says ;
that man who stops advertising is for
gotten about as soon as a man who stops
living and the rapidity with which the
forgetting business gets in its work after
we ate out of sight and the insurance col
lected, is what makes some of us want to
live thousand years. Life is something,
however, we cannot control, that is as far
as keeping il going is concerned. But the
power is within our hands TO keep our
advertising going, and just in proportion
as we keep it going it will keep US going.
