A MAN WITH A QUESTION.
He Mad Cat. to Sell and Adverflclns;
the Fact Did Him So
Good.
He looked like a man with a griev-
ance when he came into the counting-
room and the suave and persuasive
clerk who met him did so with a men-
tal reservation.
"Can I converse with you or anybody
on the subject of advertising?" he in-
quired putting both hands on the
counter as if he were going io ask a
blessing.
"With pleasure I hope smiled the
clerk "for advertising is our specialty
in this department. What is it you
wished to talk about?"
Be looked at the clerk foxily.
"In view of the fact that I wanted
to converse about advertising" he
said "advertising is what I wished to
talk about. To particularize I put
an advertisement in your paper re
cently."
"I am sure it amply repaid you."
"It was not so much that as some
thing else that interested me. It was
a two-line want notice. Is there any
choice of position for that kind of an
advertisement
"Hardly. They are classified and
people know just where to look for
them.
"One place is as good as another?"
"I should say so; yes."
"Are there as many people who sell
things as there are who buy them?"
"There are more who bny I should
say seeing that very many sellers who
advertise are also buyers. In other
words all sellers are buyers but all
buyers are not sellers."
"You are prepared to stand by that
bi a general proposition are you?"
"I think I am. In fact I'm sure of
it. Take for instance the great mass
of laboring people mechanics and pro-
fessional people; they are buyers but
they don't sell anything except their
services."
The man stuck his chin into the hol-
low of his hand aud stood contemplat-
ing the wall for a minute.
"These things being so" he said
after awhile with great deliberation
"will you kindly erfrlain why when I
put two want nouces.in your paper
cne at the bottom and one at the top
of the column the top one reading:
Wanted To buy 25 cats at ten dol-
lars each. Call at 41144 Fourteenth
street frcm six to seven p. m. and
the bottom one reading: Wanted
To sell 24S cats at ten dollars each.
Call at 41144 Fourteenth street from
six a. m. to six p. m.' that I didn't
see a living sonl until tlx o'clock in the
evening and then it seemed as if every-
body in town was headed for my house
and every man jack of them had a cat
under his arm that he wanted to sell
for ten dollars. Now air if you will
hang up your theories and statistics
for eleven or eight minutes and tell
me what'ii the matter TO use up some
more of your valuable pace for I still
have 248 cats to sell. Fine large eats
too." X. T. Son.
