Then do a little figuring.

more. The figures will surprise you.

and while he is attempting TO explain
and hem and haw. tell him that you
will spend your SIS or $40 in the news
paper, where every purchaser in your
territory will be sure to see your ad-
vertisement.
It will be d~iseouraging to the graf
ter but he will be gone the next day

New if you could get the same value
for your SIS or $40 SO that you get in

get any value.
Advertising of that sort never paid
any but the fellow who runs the
scheme. In fact it isn't advertising at
all, but a rank imitation.
