Get the Habit.

There are two classes of mer-

and those who do not. The man
who advertises has the best of
the deal. He keeps himself be.
fore the public keeps his
wares before the public, and he
keeps their quality and price up
permost in the public mind.
People talk about the man who
advertises, because they know he
has something worth ad7ertis-
ing--or he wouldn't advertise.
Cobwebs never grow in the store
of the man who advertises, be-
cause the people buy his goods
because he does advertise. PEG.
pie read the advertisements
they look for them and expect to
find them-and often end in for
getting the man who does not
advertise. Advertising pays.
