Henry W. Grady once went to
an old merchant who never adver-
tised, and asked him for a small
"ad." for his paper, which was also
small. Theoldgentleman refused,
and Grady asked to be allowed to
insert a "free adj" for him. Hay
ing received permission, he put in
a small, modest request for house.
cats to be delivered the following
Monday morning at themerchant's
store. At an early hour Grady
stationed himself at window in a
house opposite the store, and men
and women, boys and girls, white
and black, began to arrive with
cats in arms, in sacks, in baskets,
in wagons, until people and cats
blocked the sidewalk and street by
the time the merchant came down
to open his store. He had to send
for the police before he could open
and begin business. Then he sent
for Grady and gave him an "ad."
The moral of this is, people do read
advertisements.
