WHAT AN OLD GEEsER DID

There was an old geeser, he had a
lot of sense. He started up a bus
mess on a dollar eighty cents The
dollar for stock and the eighty for
an ad bought him three lovely dol
lars in day by dad. Well, he bought
more goods and little more space,
and he played that system with a
smile on his face. The customers
focked to his ltwolby-four, and soon
he had to hustle for regular store.
Up on the square where the people
pass, he gobbled up a corner that was
all plate glass. He fixed up the win
dow with the best, he had and told
them all about it in half page ad.
He soon had 'em coming, and he never
never quit, and he didn't cut down his
ads one jit. And he's kept things
humming in the town ever since, and
everybody calls him the merchant
prince. Some say its luck, but that's
all bunk. why, he was doing business
when the times were punk. People
have to purchase and the geeser was
wise-for he knew the way to get
'em was to advertise-Aledo Gil.

We have been pretty lucky SO far
as we have lost only one man and he
was killed one night about ten O'Clock
by one of them big shells exploding
near him and q piece of it went

would keep their artillery out we
