it needn't ever come out that either

Gage's mouth was a thin line, but
he drove his hands down into his poc-

I saw him try' to lift himself and
heard him give a nasty laugh and
say: "Just a 'little present from my

her that because she was P'auia's

John Gage's strong face twitched.
"She didn't say much, poor kid, but
she looked sort of desperate, and she
stayed until I had made sure the fel-

He who asks most gets most. There is no es-
caping this truth. It is something like the tortoise
and the hare. The race in business is not to the
swft, nor to the clever, nor to the brilliant man, but
to the man who is most diligent—to the man who
keeps on doing his plain duty.
You are a retailer. You want to get on. You
want to swell each day's sales. ' Well, you will
sell more each day if you ask! ask! ask! buyers to
buy your goods.
You can hardly go round canvassing homes and
buyers face to face. This practice would be too
costly, though undoubtedly would be effective. But
you can use newspaper advertising; in this way
you can do your asking for business. You are not
required by the buying public to do smart advertis-
ing. The public doesn't like smart or clever adver-
tising. The public just wants to be informed about
what you have to sell; and if you will add reasons
why the .public should buy what you offer, then you
will get more customers. The public wants informa-
tion, and it won't object to a little urging. Spending
money is for the most persons quite a serious busi-
ness, and so they like : retailers' advertisements to
be plain, straightforward. statements of fact.
