1t is more fun to see a man read a
puff on himself in newspaper than to
see fat man slip on a banana peel.
The narrow minded man reads it over
seven or eight times, and then goes
around to appropriate what copies he
can. The kind hearted man goes
around to the Office and pays what he
owes. The successful business man
who advertises regularly and makes
money by it, Immediately starts out to
find the editor and the two walk silent
ly down the street and the business
man takes sugar in his and they both
eat Glove or two and life is sweeter
and peace settles down on their hearts
