When one wants to gain the atten- 

 tion of the buyer who isn 't watching, 

 he uses a big, strong display, but when 

 ho is content to get his share of the 

 orders of those who are looking for 

 stock, he uses a Classified ad in The 

 Review: 



The Review's classified ads certainly move 

 stock rapidly; I shall have to ask yon to change 

 my ads agali.-. as we have sold out on many va- 

 rieties. — .1. P. .Slebold, Lancaster, Pa., Novem-
