I am sure no advantage is taken in this page to "toot one's horn," and as little in any other part of the paper. Nor am I going to make a break now. But the following talk by a level-headed business man is just good enough to find a place here, and also to be gummed up in some conspicuous place on the desk of every business man. "The employer who conducts his business on the theory that it doesn't pav, and he can't afford to advertise," says this writer, "sets up his judgment in opposition to all the best busi- ness men in the world. With a few years' experience in conducting a small business on a few thousand dollars of capital, he assumes to know more than thousands of business men whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a year, and who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says does not pay. Such talk in the year 1892 may well be considered ridiculous, and it requires more than the average patience to dis- cuss the position of whether advertising pays or not. His complacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the whole business world is laughable, and reminds us of the man who proved the world doesn't revolve by placing a pumpkin on a stump and watching it all night, basing his calculations on the result.
