Acquired Wisdom,
Two year- ago his business
Was very, very bail ;
He said 'twas money wasted
Invested in an ail.
But he ai last consented
An ad. to give ii trial,
Although he said '1 would only
Decrease bis little pile,
Bast year his business doubled,
Much to his surprise ;
And now he never overlooks
A chance to advertise.
Advertising hues It.
Hie best book ever witteii would

it or hear of it in one way or other
Neither will any other article sell un
