Let your competi- tor waste his money on advertising and perhaps in this way you'll"soon "put him out of business." Fix his clockwork for him, Just stand back and laugh at him when you see him squandering his money for printers' ink. Once there was a boy named John-- we think his last name was Wannamaker, anyhow his name was John with some * sort of a maker attached to his * last: name. He ownéd 500 yards of calico, three pairs of jeans, a half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goods store through a Philadel- phia newspaper and offered to sell a pair of socks for thirty-seven cents. The don't-believe-in-advertising merghants laughed. Young "John spenty sixty-five dol- fars with the Philadelphia Ledger to advertise just re and had less than $100 worth of goods. He was cautioned by the merchants who 'knew it didn't pay I" It was through sympathy that they offered him advice, But John didn't-listen to them, and went and blew his money in foolishly ; and to-day poor John sees the result of his misdoings --he has so many large dry goods stores that he can hardly find time to study his Sunday school lesson. --Baldwin Bulletin.
