City With Well Painted
Houses Advertises Itself
A C1T set upon ft hill cannot be
bidden." Neither can a house
set In a well kept yard and surrounded
with a painted fence. Both are con
spicuous, both exclto curiosity from
afar. When tho beholder draws near
er and becomes acquainted In detail
conspicuousness grows into dignity
and curiosity becomes admiration.
A clean city, a clean community, a
clean neighborhood, a clean house-
one possesses as
much godiy vir

each is to be
sought by blm

The masses must
be educated to a
standard of clean

standard of mo
rality or to any
other standard.

personages an Observer reporter
strolled across the track and captured
Farmer Smith in his lair. Slipping
my way in I Btole into a scat unob
served and was just in time to hear
Parmer Smith give his opinion upon
advertising.
"The man who having things to sell,
whispers tho tidings down the well?
will never reap the shining dollars:
like him who climbs tho tree and hau
lers."
Another of Farmer Smith's mottoar :
is "never advertise unless you have
the goods." ,f

Are You Missing Any
Messages Intended
For You?
You receive your mail promptly telegrams;
always reach you telephone messages usually
get to you people who have messages to deliver
to you personally are measurably sure to find
you "in."
But it always happens that some of the peo
ple who have business to do with you do not
know you. They could not send a telegram, or
letter, or 'phone message for, while it may some
times happen that they live nearby, they are
strangers to you.
Ilaving an offer to make which might be of
more immediate interest to you than .to anybody
else in the city, they must get their message to
you through the classified advertising columns.
Unless you are a regular reader of these col
umns you will miss .the message. Somebody will '
get it, and respond to it someone to whom, per
haps, it is not so important as it is to you.
If you realized that your letters were going
astray that telegrams addressed to you were
not reaching you you would be anxious to find
an immediate remedy for such a condition.
Why not also see to it that the classified ad- ,
vertising messages intended for you shall not be
lost?
