Every good store, ever
though it be a small one
should be advertised"
Small beginnings, wisely
made and persistently followed
up, will mean assured growth
and larger opportunities fof
the little merchant---just in
the degree that his store merits
and earns wider patronage and
approval.
A small advertising space
costs a small amount of money.
Yet it affords a chance to the
small merchant to tell why he
seeks a wide patronage---what
he has to offer that is unusual.
And, whether he is located
on the beaten pathway of trade,
or upon an unfrequented BY
way, his ad will lead people to
seek him out, And, in due
time, he will be able to decide
the matter of store location
according to his liking, rather
than according to his neces-
stiles.

The Knocker.

The knocker will knock, all knockers do
He may hurt his business, as we'll as hurt Won
But that makes difference he sees nothing good
He knocks and does nothing, wouldn't if he could
He knocks the railroad says there's nothing to it
Knocks, the new bank, says it won't last a minute
Knocks the school house, not enough kids
Said the price too high when they opened the bids
He knocks at the editor, says he is SLOW
Knocks at the preacher he is a mighty poor go
Knocks the merchant--says the prices are too high
Knocks at the lawyers--says they all lie
Knocks at the doctorssays they are quacks
Says real estate don't deal in facts
So he knocks---poor lonesome devil
Trying to get others down to his level
OH give ME the booster-the man with a smile
Who gives you the glad hand without any q,,ile
Who will so out of his way to show YOU around
And tell of the good things found in his town
When he gets to Heaven at the pearly gate
He will find welcome, early and late
While the poor old knocker. so sour and crustv
Will find the gate closed and the Kings rusty

one of the chief things he is ac-

is to "help support the news

that he is paying store-rent
