MEN SHOULD ADVERTISE. PARODY ON ” MAN WAS HADI TO MOUBN.” When chill November’s surly blast » Made fields and forests bare, One evening as I wandered forth, Not knowing hardly where, I met a man of forty years Upon his homeward way. His eyes were bright, his hair was dark, But sprinkled thro’ with gray. “ Whither wanderest thou? ” said I, As questioning began, And when he raised his eyes, I saw A sorrow-laden man. “ Hast business cares.too heavy grown, Increased the weight of years, Or loss of loved ones from thy home Made plentiful the tears? ” “ My business flourishes the best Of anyone’s in town, My loved ones cheerfully await My step at evendown. I mourn to see my brothers mourn Their business and its size; And all because they can not learn That men should advertise. “ A few seem favorites of fate And need but load their store And place a flaming sign outside When thousands come, and more. • But, oh! what crowds in every land, The foolish and the wise, By sad experience learn the law That men should advertise. “ Many and sharp the numerous ills Which competition brings, And the man who does not advertise Will get the scorpion stings. And if your business would go right You needless must arise. For competition, man to man, Makes millions advertise.

“ See yonder keeper of a store, His children beg for food, While he behind the counter says: ‘ I wish my trade was good.’ But see yon people in the street Unmindful cast their eyes Upon the merchant, while they say, ‘ That man should advertise.’ “ And this is why I mourn, my lad, Too many share the fate And plod along thro’dife until They learn the law too late. I’ve seen yon weary winter’s sun Twice twenty times arise, And every time has added proof That men should advertise.” —From The Inland Printer.
