They Do Read the Ads

When your merchant says, "No-
body reads the paper, so why ad-
vertise? ?" ask him:
1. Why publicity seekers and To-
cal organizations want space in
the paper.
2. Why the politicians are so
anxious for the papers support.
8. Why does the delinquent sub
scriber squawk when his paper is
dropped, and why do they all yell
when they fail to get a weekly
edition.
4. Why are residents so anxious
to have their misdeeds kept out of
the paper.-Kentucky Press.
Another perfect example Of
what good advertising and pub
licity can do for a good product is
offered by the COP in the person
of Wendell Willkie. - Advertising

Getting Along
BY Morris Gibbs. Sr.

We all have to travel
Along life's way,
We haven't time for murmurs
To stop our day.
We all may travel
Different paths of life,
But that doesn't mean
We have to live in strife.
We all can't travel
In fine motor cars,
But we can do sane driving
And not get any scars.
We all can't travel
Every time we wish,
But we can be happy
If we still can fish.
We all may never travel;
Just have to stay at home.
But whatever is the case,
Don't whine and ceaselessly
moan.
Since we have to travel,
Let us get along.
Turn no stone on your brother;
That's one way to not go wrong.
