Again there came day when the end

first, d day when time. which Peale
said was the same thing as money,
seemed very much like time, and short
time at that. and very little like real
money. To make matters worse Peale
meanwhile had swung round the circle
again, waving his letter Of credit
and running up lot more in the way
ofabills on new advertising. He had
scooted of for a week and never let
the office know by so much as. a tele-
gram where he was. Then, as cheer
fully as he had gone, he blew home
again one day, announcing that he had
contracted for about 10000 worth OF
advertising in Boston, Baltimore. Phil
adelphia, Washington and a few other
eastern metropollses. He declared IL

ever undertaken since George w. Ad-

of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short time. 1t is known
