IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

     A man advertised that he would sell his Ford for one-half the price he paid for it, but he received no response from the "ad."  He then advertised that he would sell it for one-quarter of the price he paid.  Still no response.  He was pretty well discouraged, so offered to sell it for enough money to pay for the advertisements.  No response.  Finally he made the announcement that he would leave his car in front of the post office the next night and if anyone would take it away, they were welcome to it.  That night after supper he drove up and left his car as announced.
     The next morning he went to see if anyone had taken the Ford but when he got there he was more discouraged than ever.  There were five other Fords besides his own.

GOING UP

     In passing along the street the other day, I noticed a man standing by a tree looking up.  I was curious and looking up I saw a Ford car in the top of the tree.  I asked the man how it got there and he said, "Why, I was cranking it and it slipped out of my hand."
