The Arizona Kicker.

Detroit Free Press. The dyspeptic old excrescence who claims to edit the milk-and-mush publication down at the Catfish alley is jealous of our advertising patronage In a labored article this week in his poorly printed old apology he says that we practice bulldozing to Dring advertising. What a liar! The Kicker practice bulldozing! The idea is laughable, and if he was worth minding we would walk down to his shanty and choke the assertion down his brazen throat. There used to be several firms here which didn’t believe in advertising. We conldn’t make ’em believe in it until we went at it and found out that they were composed of gentlemen who had skipped from the east for baru burning, horse, stealing, bigamy, embezzlement, etc. Then we wrestled with ’em, and they came to sea that the life of trade was in using printers’ink.
