We wonder if it may be of any profit
| to our readers to learn how near" so
near and yet so far''-we have lately
come to getting something for the
asking In the west is a certain
well known and important manufacture
/ ing city, that we have more than once
! visited and in that city is company
that manufactures agricultural imple-
ments, that we have no doubt have a
high commercial rating. We have not
| vet decided just what the moral rating
should be. a western paper recently
brought out an advertisement of theirs,
that we resolved to test, but wrote
them we suspected there was "post-
script to their advertisement that did
not appear in the paper. The facts
are as follows: The company make 8
certain farm implement, the regular
price of which they say is thirty dol
lars, which quoting from their letter
before u.s. sit affords us pleasure tC
offer without one cent of cost. We
give away absolutely free to one per
son in each important section of the
country" Now isn't that a bait
worth GU biting at? The zeal bai
proves to be this For short time
the price of the goods will be reduced
from$ 30 to $40, and one has only tt
20 out and sell four of these machines
for $40, and send the company, anC
they will send fifth one free to tn,
man that does that-freight on all pre-
paid Now that may be called 81
good business advertisement, but WI
wholly doubt it. Years ago we ha(
an acquaintance doinhg a large bust
ness in one of the leading cities of tn,
country There was every reason wh.
he should be expected to be in every
thing a reliable man. One day in hi
presence, we were looking at one o
his advertisements. 1t was stunne
to us, and he saw it, and at once re
marked evidently as an excuse for hi
house, "No one believes an advertise
ment, and of course they were de
oeiying % nobody.
In the twenty to twenty: five year
of itemizing" for the Waterman
we do not recall in our own eXpeI
fence another case like the fol

warm personal friends here was 8
