He Thought Advertising a Humbug.

, “Its all liSmbug to talk to me of the benefits of advertising,” said a toii'r looking man; “I spent $175 last year in advertising, and I was closed out by the sheriff in January. The money was wasted, sir; every cent of it. Advertising is no good” “What papers did you advertise in ?” inquired a sympathizing bystander. : “What papers? Thunder, I didn’t use any papers. I had my •advertisements painted on fence boards.”
