There's nothing on earth so mysteri-
ously funny as an advertisement. The
prime, first and last, and all-the-time
objects of an advertisement is to draw

merchant waits till the busy season
comes and his store is so full of custom
ers that he can't get his hat off. and
then he rushes to his printer and goes
in for advertising. When the dull sea-
son gets along and there is no trade,
and he wants to sell his goods 50 bad
he can't pay his rent, he stops adver-
Using. That is, some OF them do but
occasionally a leveLheaded merchant
does more Of it, and scoops in all the
business, while mis- neighbors are max
ing mortgages to Day their bills.
