Undoubtedly there is little risk of loxlug money in such a scheme, but what good results from such writs ups or from such advertising? “It may gratify the vanity of the eit. zen to his ability and his success eulogized, but It will never add a dc bis fortune pay a transient, travel stained pencil push- er to write a few paragraphs of praise concerning himself and his business.
