and noticed a drummer standing by' the

"Anything you desire to say in the paper this week? " inquired the printer of
the man behind the counter. "No,"
said the business (?) man. "I don't believe in advertising. I do not give a
d—n for advertising." The drummer
waited until the printer was half way to
the door, then taking up his sample valise remarked: "Well, that lets me out.
I do not care tc sell on time to any man
who in this enlightened age does not believe in advertising. I prefer to. deal with
