| The Ancient Art 41 | Of Helping Yourself. V | SEver go to a Sunday school picnic when you were a boy? ® Course you did. ® Remember how all the women folks used to spread the tablecloths end to end on the grass, then dump' ’em thick X X with the best ever ate ? My! Fried chicken ’bout X S every two foot, with, roll X jelly cake in between. S X I Well, yes! W'jl Recollect how the Su- X © perintendent would stick @ his handkerchief under his X gj, collar and say cheerfully: @ ■ “Now all help your- jgt @ I sel£! ” S ® gi JpTyj Then everybody fell to \ H and helped himself. If @ @ . vou were a timid boy and @ @ held back till all the chick- ® en was gobbled up, you re- ® gretted it—you regret it & S still. You didn’t help ® ® > yourself, and nobody else ® // helped you. ® Z 7 A Remember that picnic ® when the gang of fellows ® & from the city happened @ @ A** along and lit into the fried ® © /<■ z sS fowl? City chaps are al- ® ® Hwv / fyiEr ways hungry. They help- ® ® *'o uuv ed themselves, and there @ m wasn’t anything left for ® © the town boys but the ® © bones. @ Life is a picnic. Not a @ ® Sunday school picnic—not ® ® exactly. But it’s a picnic dinner all the same. The feast is © ® spread for you. Everybody help himself now! ® SUPPOSE YOU’RE A MERCHANT IN THIS @ TOWN. THERE’S FRIED z CHICKEN AND ROLL ® X JELLY CAKE ALL AROUND YOU, BUT YOU LET X THE CITY CROWD COME IN AND SNATCH IT $ RIGHT FROM UNDER YOUR NOSE. ALL YOU X ® GET IS THE BONEB AND SCRAPS. ® ® - The city fellows are helping themselves. They reach out @ long fingers—the mail order monthly and the price catalogue @ —and pick up the choice bits. Why don’t you try a few fingers ® © of advertising in your local paper, dive in ahead of the gang ® @ from outside, get there first and help yourself to the chicken? @ © “Now all help vourself!” ® g @ ® MORAL: OUR ADVERTISING RATES FUR- § | NISHED ON APPLICATION. g @ A j, g ©®©®©©®©@©®®@©©@@®@@©&©®@©@@@©®©
