A few weeks before my forteith
birthday, my wife handed me a
bunch of letters' addressed and
stamped, and suggseted I drop them
in the mail box. 1 slipped the letters
in the pocket of my rain coat, and,
upon arriving at the office, I placed
the coat in my locker, and forgot all
about .the letters. I did not wear
chat coat again for several weeks.
Tfie evening of the" party came,
rhe stage was all set, but nobody
showed up. Then, my wife said to
me, "Do you recall a few weeks ago
when 1 gave you those letters to
triad? They were the invitations to
year party,"
The stores that fail to receive
their friends ure like those of my
birthday party?the crowd is not
invited.
I venture to say in all the failures
of retail merchant? the last three
years not twenty pfr cent of these
merchants advertised religiously ill
newspapers, whereas, if they had,
their investment in newspaper advertising
would have brought sufficient
trade to "prevent a great amount of
their losses.
First of all the newspaper has circulation.
A single newspaper will often
cover from 60 to 80 per cent of
the homes in its territory. Advertising
space in that paper will give a
much greater return per dollar spent
than will any other form of advertising
on which postage is spent.
Second, people are accustomed to
Heading the newspaper. It is not
difficult to get their attention, as in
the case of the circular letter, the
booklet and other form of direct by*
mail advertising.
Third, and best of all, it is timely
The advertiser is able to appeal to
his audience by frequent advertise-j
ments. * .1

During one of Ihe famines in that
country they decided to move to the
land of Moab where there was plenty
even though the land was strange to
them. After several years Elimelech i
died and later both sons died. Then
when Naomi was old, she decided to
go back to the land of her nativity <
and kin folks. Both girls alko wanted
to go back with her and entreated
her far on the homeward journey 1
and Ruth who had married Mahlon i
did follow her mother-in-law to the
home land. There they found them- '
selves without a home or food. So
Ruth, as was the custom in those i
days went into the harvest fields to
glean the scattered grain that was 1
left by the reapers, it being harvest i
time to support her aged relative, i
She chose the fields' of Boaz, a 1
very wealthy man and also kin to ,
Naomi. Boaz Boon noticed the beau- 1
tiful young gleaner and became much
interested in her and told his men i
to drdp even great bunches of grain
in her way. In the course of time a
close friendship sprang up between '
