Ide Co., Troy, N. Y.) Opportunity knocks at every dealer’s door, and her favorite guise Is “reliable merchandise.” To gain confidence with each sale made Is to spell SUCCESS with capital letters. ' The best merchandise Is none too good for the merchant who knows that "full satisfaction" is the greatest profit producer. A dissatisfied customer Is a de serter. A pleased customer Is a repeater. "Feeling the pulse” of your cus tomer Is a more profitable way to build up your business than "tickling your own palate.” Better merchandise Is the posi tive way to better business. Don’t forget this: Fifth Avenue language Is the code of the ”400” only, while plain, unvarnished talk Is alike understood by the office boy and the college pro fessor. M. TUBS. S.

"And, judge,” con tinued Given, with conviction, "wo men Is deceitful.” James and Sadie were engaged to be married, the wedding day had been set, and both were happy as only true lovers can lie. Then appeared on the scene Eddie Bowman, and stole the affections of Given’s (lanceo. "Jedge,” explained Given, “Ah stood dat man’s taunts till human nature could bear no mo,’ and when he done showed me ah love letter dat mah Sadie had wrlten him, Ah Jet natch’ly lost, mah temper, and Ah did assault him.” "Well, James," sympathetically re plied Judge Mullowny, "I am sorry for you, but you will have to servo sixty days In Jell for tbe assault."
