The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-08-07
OVERLOOKING LITTLE THINGS

Many person goes through life
overlooking the little things and
vainly grasping at the big ones.
When death claims them they
are still grasping. but not possess
ing.
1t was the result of starting
wrong.
And so it is with many men,
with some women, in the matter
of newspaper advertising, although
the ranks of the overlookers are
becoming thinner every year.
Some people never let an oppor-
tunity slip by.
No line in the local paper ever
escapes them, lest it be something
which might be turned to their
advantage.
No advertisement is ever over
looked, lest it contain an article
of which they are in need and
may be purchased to a better adj
vantage now than later.
All people read the advertise
ments. Some make it a business,
have reduced it to a science, and
extract the greatest beneft from
even the most insignificant things.
1t is big stone in the founda-
ton of their success.
No merchant spends money on
printers ink unless he has some
thing worth offering, something
you need, and sooner or later must
have.
No one can afford to overlook
advertisements. lest he miss an
opportunity to secure an article of
need at minimum price.
No man or woman who starts
right with a firm grasp on the
little things will fail later in life to
attain the big ones.
All things are small in the be-
ginning, but they attain size in ac-
cordance with the acumen, the
energy, the perseverance of the
one who guides their destinies.
All advertisements have some
merit, are of especial interest and
value to some person.
They are an important part of
the little things in life which
should never be overlooked, for
out of many little things few big
ones grow.
