AUTOMOBILES Quitk, Dependable Service available at All Times To All Point Careful driver attentive to Comfort of Passengers E. A. MAYHEW, Prop. Smigge&ffii Some merchants are so all-fired dumb, you wonder how they ' ever come to sell the stuff they have in store, and keep the sherriff from the door. Old Binkson is a lot that way; he. seldom has a word to say. I ask him for a pound of lime; lie wraps it up and all the time, he wears a tragic air of doom, and sheds an atmosphere of gloom. He never chats he never spiels, nor jumps tip high and cracks his heels. He isn't gruchy or unstrung; he never learned to wag his tongue Oh silence is a golden thing, when tisn't worked too hard by jiilg. But none of us will stand up strong for men that, gabble all day long, and elocute a thousand miles in fifty seven varied styles. The dealer who is prone to talk until you hear him round the block; is worse than t'other kind of bird, who's never known to spring a word. But if you've scantling you would sell, you ouht 'to, boost it wisely well and it a gent should buy a plank, to build himself a dipping tank, you might suggest ere home he speeds, that yoU have Other things he needs. I called on Lumber Dealer Gaff, to buy a shingle and a half. He put my purchase in a sack, and wrapped a string around and back, and as he toiled in manner gay, he talked to pass the time away. "The fann ers in busy troops are building stately chicken coops; the winter soon will hit the road, and hens must have a warm abode, or they won't lay then lucious eggs, but stand Ground on frozen legs." And that recalled the fact to me that I had hens some ninety-three, and ere I left that lum ber store, I bought a wagon load or more, of stuff to build a chicken shed; its staridiug now all painted red. And that's the way big sales are made, and that is how meii build up trade. Talk corn cribs at the proper time, or prove a silo is stobl'rme, but in an incidental strain, and not as though you'd gladly sprain .Vonr conscience which I hope is hale in eagerness to get the kale. Suggestion is a noble art; the wise man get's it down by heart. Ffpl The Home of v v See Peter Kilbur About It.
