W B Hardman sells our pain^ WORKS LIKE A CHARM Two weeks ago a lady inserted a notice in the News offering a piano for sale. The paper was placed in the office for distribution and in less than half an hour thereafter the piano was sold, and the lady te and >tie sd sob|f! 1 i we| Mr. T. J. Morgan advertised s me land. The paper went out on the rural routes Friday morning. Saturday morning we met Mr. Morgan on the streets and he told us that pan of the Und had been sold and tba' the ad sold it A certain merchant a Mils place eds us that when be i La in a i. !ul the sales on Saturday following are more than double the amount of sales .-n the same day of the week when no ad appears. These are indisputa:. !e facts—facts whoth speak fa '!>< r,-.selves—facts that can easily be verified. And yet, there are those who still con tend that advertising Joes not pay. In the book we read of a who died and down yonder. He was not at nil favorably impressed with the climate or the inhabitants. He remembered lha| he had friends left behind and did not want them to go down yonder. So 119 got in communication with the powers tha*. be and wanted messengers sent from the better land to warn his friends m.t to follow his example. He was told lhat Moses and the prophets were in J business with his friends, and that if they 'would not hear them, they would not believe though one rose f rom the dead. There are none so blind as those who will not see. Try an ad in the News. This la dy told what she had to sell. So did the man. Specify—particular ize, itemize—tell what you have, and let the people know you want to sell it. Theu keep everlastingly at it, and it will pay. No Case on Record.
