Los Angeles Times: The propri
etors of two livery stubles xituateJ
alongside each other in a busy street
have been having a lively advertisin-?
duel lately. The other day one o(
them stuck up on his office window a
long strip of paper bearing the words:
Our horses need no whip to make
them go."
This bit of surousm naturally caus
ed some amusement at the expense
of the rivul proprietor,- but iii'k-in
than an hour he neatly turned the,
tables by pasting the following retort
In his own window:
True. The wind blows them along!"
