Every member Of the stove committee

down. until only the snore OF the STORE
cat disturbed the tranquility OF lle
scene Then Wes got up, took 4 lump
of coal from the hod. dropped it INTO ~
stove. wiped the SCOT from MS name II

Mart Strimples took an extra enc" i.oiii i!.3il

"Doos kinder look like they car d.

yes. and that proves to me that ad-
yertisin' is the greatest force II lhe

oueried Mart Strimples who threw
away the 39th match he had used trying
10 make his TIL meerchaum go, as nc
asked the question:
..NelI Mart" said Chairman Tartsock
Won will recall that Mayor fousek
started the economy plan and Hubbard
aud Shanlcy and certain diveEs others
didn't get very loud with their cheerln
when Fousck had offered his proposal
hnt they went right ahead ANNOUNCING
1Fc nd
special talent on the five per cent basis.
Rnt Fousek went to the people thru ad-
yertisin' and got bis plan IN the papers.
Then the people got TO talkin as the
rcsnlt of the advertisin' and sombody had
te change and it wasn't Fonsek. | tell
" that advertisin pays for here II saved
fha citv many thousands VI dollars and
it got the advertiser free from the news
papers at that. And II wouldn surprise
me- boys. if Fousek had another idea or
Two uD his sleeve to save the people some
money i'll taxes that he may advertise
before the end Of his term.
..Shiver me timbers if ye amt right,
/ said Wes, as he shook down the ashes

! Of advertisn' stnnt in my business as
clever as Fedsek slipped that economy
plan by. They didn t iop OIL al .ne

it pears to me he moren likely asked
for lot and was wilIin' from the first
to take less in order to get some. 1e
] know the good book says the Lord loves
I'll h cheerful siyer, and probably Fousek
4 fhot I'LL council members would be more
likely to put themselves in the good
graces of the Lord and give cheerfully If
they could get by on a smaller number.

be cot alt he expected il the things they
voted"
"All things considered" said Doc Bills
I'VE will agree that advertiser pays and
my guess is that some of the fellows who
voted for the economy plan ~ finally
passed hoped to gain returns at the com
/ ing election, but believe me. boys, that
wasn't the kind of advertiser that does
the good. 1t will come home g some
4 of EN- as punishment. ard mark mE
word And it will clinch the proof that
adyertisin' pays-if you have the right
sort.
