Rewarded with Rich Realizations, and 1t Shall
Follow as the Night the Day.
How Much Better Off You than Last
Year, or the Year Before That? Perhaps
Your Wages are a Little Higher, but Have
not Your Expenses More than Kept Pace
with That Increase? Aren't You Paying a
Little More for Your Clothes and Your
Meals, and don't You Smoke More Expen-
sive Cigars and more of Them than Formerly?
If 1t isn't Cigars 1t may be Something Else
Some More Expensive Habit.
Man Begins To Go Down Hill at Forty,
and the time may come when Younger
Man-perhaps a Cheaper Man-wil fill your
Job. The Man Who-Looks-Ahead will pre-
pare himself for that time by getting Home.
My advice to You, Therefore, is to Get
Home while you are able to do so-and Be-
gin Now. I would further advise you to Get
a Home in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas.

doing his best to put the theoretical
knowledge thus acquired into prac-
tice,
He had started a small shop, in
the cheap clock and jewelry line, in
his native town, and, though he was
not exactly crowded out by custom
ers, he hoped for the best.
One day old Mr.. Blmpus pulled
into the shop and asked the price of
alarm clocks.
Zone dollar, sir, to you" answered
Jerhones. U.s.
"a dollar? Then, why did you
charge my son two dollars for one
last week."
AHA, that's a trick of the trade!"
said Jerhones, with knowing look.
'But you and ] are old friends, SO l

Is to get reputation for cheapneTs,
