The alarm clock went off at 

 four o'clock in the morning. 



''I fooled you that toime," 

 said Mike with a grin, ''for 

 I wasn't aslape at all." 



The florist fools himself who 

 thinks there is any way of 

 selling goods in the trade 

 more effective than adver- 

 tising in The Review. Also, 

 it's the most inexpensive way 

 in proportion to results. 



"We are coiiipli'tely sold out mid have 

 had to send moiic.v l»aok. The Review 

 is. withoul doubt, the tiest advertising 

 iiK'diiiin ill the trade."— . I. ('. Rk.nni- 

 soN Co., Sioii.x City, la. 



Review readers are not 

 asleep. Note this:
