If you foot your little tooter, and
then Law aside your horn, there's not a
soul in 10 short days, will know that
you were born. The man who gathers
pumpkins is the man who plows all
day, and the man who keeps on hump
ing is the man who makes it pay. The
man who advertises, with short and
sudden jerks, is the man who blames
the editor, because it didn't work.
The man who gets the business makes
a long and steady pull, and keeps the
local paper from year to year quite full.
He plans his advertising in careful,
thoughtful way, and keeps forever at
it, until he makes it pay.
