Observation-Disclosures

We take our editorial pen in hand on
this occasion TO write a EDITORIAL on
"Ambishion-What It's Good For"
Etc. A great many writers have wrote
about "Ambishion, but so far we amt
been heard from as editor and prop
OF the Bingville Bugle, so here goes:
As we sat in our up-to-date lob of6se
a-wOndering whot in thunenashion 10
write about. and whot to say if we did
We thotfully karressed our bald pate
til the above subject coined to Us like
a thunder clap from outen a cloudy sky
And We couldn't help saving right out
loud, so We could hear #. "Ambishion
IS about whot YOU are petered out Of"
and most of Bingville's older popula-
shion is worse off because thew never
had it and if they did they sent for
Doc. Livermore and thot they was
sick, and he cured them of it. But
tain't always been so, for when we
started the "Bugle," 10, many years ago
we had ambishion and some money and
now look at us today. we have still
got sum ambishion (mighty little, tool
and not enuff money to paw for next
weeks paper to print the "Bugle" on,
which goes to show that ambishion will
last longer than money with sum people
Below is the how of it.
Bill Hepburn, our artistick black
smith, has got ambishion. His ambi-
shion is TO see how much Ticker he can
drink every Satterday night, and how
much waiter he can drink Sunday
mornings
Rev Sam1 Moore, our beloved pas
tor, shows his'n when he breaches a
long sermon and asks for sum of his
back salary.
Hank Dewberry, brother of Our lion
hearted town constable, has been in all
kinds of business and never made enufi
success or money 10 pay nothink to no
buddy.
! Eph Higgins, our accommodating P
Ms ambishion is to find out whots
writ on postal cards, and in uncalled for
letters before lie besides to send same
to Washington, L. S, America.
Seth Dewberry, our extinguished
constable, desires to becum a slooth and
make criminals tremble when they see
his badge, so he can a rest them with
out being obliged to get too near sich
desperate characters and hurtin' them
so they can't appear before Ame Hill
yer, ] of P. (P. s., n. B. Seth's read
ing all the detective stories he can get
holt on.
Bige Barker's ambishion is to swap
horses and fill his horse with ginger
tea afore he swaps.
Bud Hinckley, who amt quite right
in his heads greatest ambishion is &c
see whot tarnashion fool he can make
of himself and everybuddy else.
And so We could go on and men
shion q whole lot OF others who don't
appear here. among same is Ad. String
eT, Gid Smalley, Lige Henderson, Sam
Haywood, Snide Peters, Suke Packard
and Gale Hooker down Snake Bend

True PrlneIpIe In Advertising

According to the most careful esti-
mates, the volume of business done by
the mail order houses In the United
States amounts to more than one bill
lion of dollars annually. When 1t is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems of bust
ness as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed, 1t
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising, for 1t is
by advertising alone that the mail
order business has been built up. 1t
would perhaps be fatal for the small
merchant in the agricultural cities and
towns to follow the plans, the distort-
ed and exaggerated advertising meth
DDS of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin-
ciple in advertising that ever holds
good. This principle is as sound for
the little merchant, the dealer In any
kind Of wares. as 1t is for the biggest
concern on earth. In fact. the grea..
business houses generally had a small
beginning. and by publicity pushed up
to the front, writes d. NJ. Carr.
Did people of agricultural sections
fully realize how the millions taken
to the large cities by the mail order
system causes them direct injury.
1t would not be long before these con.
cerLs would be out OF business.
