A little bit of laughter helps to brigh
ten up the day,
A cheery word will make the load
seem lighter,
A welcome smile of greeting helps to
smooth the rugged way,
A friendly hand will make the world
look brighter.
It’s worry over trouble that has never
happened yet
That makes a fellow old and stooped
of shoulder;
And wrinkles surely follow all the
worry and the fret,
To make a fellow feel and look much
older.

A little snatch of singing helps to shor
ten up the road,
A whistled tune will keep the heart
from grieving,
A “howdy do,” soul-spoken helps to
tear the weary load.
A cheery ’ hello” helps beyond be
liev ng,
To grouch is but to double all the trials
of the day,
To grumbel is to lose life’s choicest
flavor.
It’s love that keeps you happy all
along the weary way,
And brings to you the old world's
richest flavor.
The time you spend in sighing never
brings you in a cent;
It’s waste of time to sit ’round and
grumble.
It’s up to you to hustle with a will and
good intent—
The world will quick forgive you if
you stumble.
But this world hates a quitter and it
loves the man who tries;
It loves the man who’s looking with a
tune smiling;
It loves the ma nwho’s looking with a
Here they are again—

Why No Other Coffee Has
a Flavor Like This
Two Secrets Account for It.
When you open a package of French
Market Coffee, you exclaim “What a
wonderful coffee aroma!” As you drink
French Market you say “What a truly
delightful flavor!”
There are two coffee secrets back of
it all —secrets that have been kept for
over a hundred years—the despair of
those who have ever tried to imitate
French Market quality.
The first is the old secret blend of
famous Coffees from the world’s fore
most coffee countries. This famous
blend has never been successfully im
itated.
The second is the unique grinding
and roasting process which develops
that remarkable go«dn»«s for which
French Market Coffee has been so
famous for over a century.
All the blending, roasting and
grinding take place on one main floor
—in a vast courtyard—just as was
done at the Old French Market.
Send 10 cents for 12-cup sample and
booklet of the interesting Story of Old
French Market. We will also send
names of grocers in your town who
sell French Market Coffee. 1-lb. cans,
25 cents; 4-lb. pails, sl.
