The Reason for the "sign of the BiE


 For many years the Sign of the Big Gun" has been the trade mark of one of the oldest Gun Stores in the State of Alabama. and 1t was only nec- essary for one to see this sign to know where he was and who he was dealing with. This "Big Gun" was registered many years ago by MT. Todd, and can not be used by any other gun store without laying themselves liable to prosecution.
 A funny occurrence happened sew .era1 days ago when an old negro hap pened to drop in a certain gun store and asked the clerk. Mister, is dis Todd's" The clerk, of course. taking advantage of the well-known place. quickly answered. Yes, sir" the. clerk traded an old worn-out gun to the poor old darkey and in few minutes the old darkey happened to drop in "Todd's Gun Store" sure enough and recognized MT. Todd himself. ''Lawd," said the old darkey, s'dat man told me dat his place was Todd's, and just look here what he done sold me-" tt was an old secondhand rifle, completely worn- out. and would not shoot). The old negro left the gun with Mir. Todd to repair and was told that next time he came to town looking for Todd's not to stop unless he was sure the Sign of the Big Gun was there.
 Look for the Big Gun; 1t it's not there, it's not Todd's. --adv.
