Show He Knew Why There was an old geezer, and he had a lot of sense; he started up a business on a dollar-eighty cents the dollar for stock and eighty cents for an ad brought him two live dollars a day, by dad! Well, he bought more goods and a little more space, and he played that system with a smile on his face. The customers flocked to his two-by-four, and so he had to hustle for a regular store. LTpon tne square where people pass, he gobbled up a corner that was all plate glass. He fixed up the windows with the best that he had, and he told them all about it in a half-page ad. He soon had them coming and never quit, and he wouldn't cut down , on his ads one bit. Well, he's kept things humping in that little town ever since, and everybody calls him the merchant prince. Some say it's luck, but that's all bunk why, he was doing business when times were punk. People have to purchase, and the geezer was wise, for he knew the way to get them was to advertise. Exchange. |
