This, from the Nortonvillo News, is being widely copied; "The man who does not advertise simply because his grandfather did not ought to wear knee breeches and a queue. The man who does not advertise because it costs mon ey should quit paying rent for the same reason, The man who does not advertise because ho fried it and failed, should throw away his cigar when the light goes out. The man who doesn't advertise because he don't know how should stop eating because he can't cook. The man who doesn't advertise because someone said it doesn't pay ought not to believe the earth is round because the ancients said it was flat." M.
