When To Advertise.

The time to advertise is all the

has the largest basket of fish. Stop
ping an ad to a W money is like stop
ping a clock to save time says an ex-

ance policy against forgetfulness. 1t
compels people to think Of you.
Like eating, advertising should be
continuous. When today's break
fast will answer for tomorrow's you
can advertise on the same principle.
No one lies awake thinking of your
business; out Of print out of mind.
