There was a man who advertised But ouce a single time. Iu spot obscure placed he his ad And paid for it a dime. And just because it didn't bring Hun customers by the score, " A l l advertising is a fak e,” He said, or rather, swore. Hu seemed to think one hammer tap Would drive a nail clear in; That from oue bit o f tiuy thread A weaver touts could spiu. If be this reasoning applied To eating, doubtless he Would claim one little bite would feed Ton men a century. Home day, though, he will learn that to Make advertising pay, lie ’ll have to add ads to his ad, And advertiae each day. £. O. Townsend.
