The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-04-01

Wednesday, April first, in the
year Of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and fifty three will
probably pass just like q lot Of
other April FOOLS days. The Die
tionary says that April is the
fourth month Of the year and the
month Of growing and planting. It
also defines an April Fool as one
who goes about on the first day
Of April playing jokes. Nowhere
does It mention who started the
whole thing, or If it was just q
group of people getting off their
suppressed desires when snip OF
warm weather nit one April first.
My calendar says that the first in
ternal combustion engine was pat
ented this date in 1876 which might
have something to do with II.
Well, all know is that / don't
intend to bite on any corny jokes,
pick up old wallets or give any
old hats lying on the streets a
lusty kick. shall also avoid black
cats and ladders the same as on
any Friday the thirteenth, and then
/ win 60 shopping.

The advertising business Is a very
funny game. as I've had every
reason 10 find out. When business
Is naturally booming. like around
holidays when people don't have
10 be coaxed out because they'll
come out and buy anyhow. that's
when every merchant In town vies
with every other merchant to set
their ads ID TIE paper. Well coed,
IFS easier 10 read the ada and
find cut where you want ID SO
than wear out tons u shoe leather
doing the same thing. But, when
business sets bad, and folks really
need tempting. DO they advertiser
