1t Worked Out Badly.

There is such a thing as carrying the discount business too far, as the smart advertising agent of a new pub iication discovered
 ''As I understand" said the mer- chant, "your rate is $50 page for a single insertion and you deduct l per cent from this rate for each additional insertion:"
 'That is correct" replied the agent, '1The total rate decreases by 1 per cent for each insertion contracted for after the first" he went on to explain. "If you agree to take it ten times there will be nine insertions after the first and you will get 9 per cent off the rate. In other words, you will only have to pay S45.50 each time"
 ''The idea comments itself to me-" said the merchant thoughtfully, "and if you will stick to that plan I will be glad to make contract with you to use full page for 1O1 consecutive is- sues"
 The agent was jubiant until he thought it over. Then he wasn't. This discount business can be carried too far.-Exchange.
