An exchange tells of a farmer who
spent §25 advertising his public sale,
which is about four times the amount
usually spent. The result was that the
sale brought him over $700 more than
bis highest .estimate, so he thinks that
it was money well spent. Farmers are
just beginning to learn the value of
liberal advertising of public sales. A
fe\V dollars spent in advertising- in tbe
local paper will be read by ten times as
many people as read the bills which
cost nearly as much as the advertise-
■ ment.    We would not advise dropping
■ the sale bills, but it should be supple-.
' -cheated by some vigorous .newspaper
-     Beat Slim To it,
F. Irving Fletcher * at the Sphinx
club dinner in New York told a striking
advertising story.
' "I once made a bet -with a dry goods
dealer," said Mr. Fletcher, "that he
couldn't spend in a year on advertising 1
all that he made in that year. The
man took me up and sailed in.
"But be lost his bet. Though bis
advertising.bills grew bigger and big-
ger,<be lost. For the more he advertised tlie more-he sold, and in the end;
after starting eight branch stores, be
gave in and paid me my money."
Mr.-Fletcher paused, then added impressively:      . --■",,.
"Any dealer, dry gcrods or otherwise,
who- doesn't believe this story need
only to try it himself fob- convinced."
