Have Yon Ever Noticed it?
A business man in a neighboring
town, who is commonly supposed to
have cut his wisdom teeth some time
ago, was discussing the subject of ad-
vertising the other evening, and ad-
vanced the proposition that "fake" ad-
vertising schemes was as a rule no
good, and that about the only advertis-
ing that paid a business man a profit
was what he did through the newspa-
pers. Being challenged for proof, he
said that as one instance while on a re-
cent drive for a few miles into the coun-
try he had taken note of all the firms
whose advertisement appeared painted
on board fences, barn doors, or nailed
to roadside trees; and that eight out of
every ten whose advertisements were
thus displayed were now out of busi-
ness. His argument was that a firm
that throws its money away on board
fence advertising and kindred "fakes"
has not got sound commercial ideas,,
and consequently soon finds itself push.
ed to the wall by tee -Tethers with more
practical notions of business.
