Believes in Advertising.

Rev. H. C. Keeley, the evangelist, who has been holding a series of meetings at the Presbyterian church, was a pleasant caller at this office a few days ago. Rev. Keeley is a firm believer in advertising, and he handed us the following clipping from an Osceola, (Mo.) paper: “We have heard a good story told on one of our merchants the other day. It is a fact that right here in Osceola are firms trying to do business on the old crossroad theory, that is withoutadvertising. A gentleman remarked that they were spoiled when boys. The father of one of them owned a cow which would back up to the boy to be milked, no matter where he might sit down. Ever since they have trying to do businesss on the same principle. It would not astonish us if they find out yet that all cows don’t do that way.”
