There is nothing like knowing how to
do thing. Mr.. A Harris, the auc
tioneer, knows how to sell land. Hence
the land sale yesterday was a great big
success. He says the secret of his sue
cess is advertising" Not seeing how lit

but how much you can prOfitably use
He ought to know, as he has had years
of experience and has never made a sin
gle failure. He follows right after peo-
Pile who "could not afford to advertise, y
and makes a success where they made a
failure. The man who ''can not afford
to advertise" will save expenses by
going out of business.
