WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2
it Takes Steady Fishing
To Catch Net Frofits
■ $ — ■ ■■ ■ -
' Some merchants are like some fishermen if
they don’t get a bite with the first line they
drop—they say its no use.
You might say I spend so much per year on
advertising and see but little returns.
Likely you are fishing in the wrong pond or
you are not using the right bait.
The fish will bite if you let me bait your
hook with good live matter in your newspaper
advertising.
Try a can; it can’t help but help.
H. D. Griffin,
P. 0. BOX 738. AUGUSTA, GA.

ONE OF THE RANKS.
Here’s a toast to the fellow who never
gives up,
No matter what chances befall-
Who gazc-s clear-eyed at the lees in
his cup
And scorns to be failure's poor
thrall.
No trumpet may sound it, no voices
proclaim
The task he endeavors to ae.
But somewhere an angel has written
the name
Of one who Is dauntless and true.
And all he can hepe for is some day
to sleep
In a grave on the side of a hill.
Locked fast in that slumber so won
drously deep,
So free front heart-throbbing—scr
still,
While the world turns around and the
struggle goes on
Which he fought in a glorious way,
To be soon forgotten like others
who’ve gone,
To their rest at the close of the day.
—Paul Cook

send material to the Sewing Rooms In

will see that it Is immediately cut
