" G If you toot your little tooter , and then lay aside your horn there's not a soul in ten short days will know that you were born. The C. man who gathers pumpkins is the It man who plows all day , the man ai who keeps on humping is the man H who makes it pay. The man who M advertises , with a short and sudden TJ erk , is the man who blames the tii iditor if it didn't work. The man jo yho gets the business makes a lonj.r se and steady pull , and keeps the miltU ing paper from year to year quite w full. He plans the advertising in by a careful , thoughtful way , and w forever at it , until he makes oi it pay.
