walk and put a card on it, ">Hoves For Sale." Without that sign people
might think he was trying lo warm tbe atmosphere. Later on tbo advertiser
u?ed the papors. Ho put an 'ad' in the paper announcing tho arrival of atraw
hat , ill June, and lie li t tho sauio 'ad' stand until th" next year, Then lie
got tlm gift mania. He gave away everything from a circus ticket to a house
and lot with every thing sold. Folks rood found thay were paying dear for

Of Advertising*
Today the successful advortlser uses COLD FACTS. People iiko to read
about what they want to buy—and whon they go to look at a tking advertised,
they wint to tind it JUST AS THEY WERE TOLD The old saving that
"people like to he humbugged" is a back number, i'hey DON P. They want
straight work. That's what wo give 'em—straight work.
