Is not worth advertising, advertise

writer has lived advertising has proved
itself the motor power that drives to
success every class of mercantile en-
deavor. If you have not advertised
for some reason you have persistently
clung to. why not make it point to
look around you here and elsewhere

say he has never made mistake-and
precedent proves that the man who

The mistake is not so bad. Mistakes can
