same engineers also said that it
would be Impractical to carry it into

Father gets the idea that the young
sters are so crude and immature that
they are not interesting. Perhaps he
wants TO do things that they will re-
gard as too interesting. The boys
look at Father as a duh old fogy. Age
loses vitality IL II "A not sympathiEe

THE MERCHANT PRINCE.

There was an old geezer
And he had a lot of sense,
He sarted up a business
On a dollar n eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock
And the eighty for an ad,
Which brought him three dollars
In a day, by dadi
Well, he bought more goods
And a little nor space
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
The customers flocked
To his two-by-four.
| Soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass,
He boggled VI a corner
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the best he had
| And told them all about II
In a half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming,
And never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads one jit.
And he's kept things humming
In the own ever since
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.
Some say It's luck .,
But that's all bunk
He WAS doing business
When times were punk!
People have TO purchase
And the geezer was wise
He knew the way to get 'em
Was to advertise.-Stuckel Inc
