MT. PLEASANT BATTERY STATION
EARL M. PORTER, Proprietor
Back in 1918 the greatest, newspapr of the day de-
clared that the world had reachd the limit of human
expansion. It even went further, saying that there
weren’t enough supplies in the world to support fur-
ther growth of population.
The mind of 1818 couldn’t conceive the miracles
that human ingenuity would perform during the
twentieth century. It couldn’t imagine the wonders
that would be wrought by new agricultural methods
and modern manufacturing genius. It was ignorant
of transportation as we know it, or the progressive
sales methods of today. It could not see the vital part
that would he played by advertising.
Even today there are some who fail to realize what
an important factor advertising has become. Adver-
tising is as much a part of today’s life as electricity,
antiseptic surgery or automobiles. It keep us up to
date on the many things we need in ordr to live profi-
table, happy and useful lives. It presents for our ap-
proval articles of all kinds and for all purposes. The
requirements of each member of the family are met
by advertised offers of good merchandise of proved
value.
The advertisements save time, money and effort
for those who read them and allow their guidance.
Thy arc practical guarantees of satisfaction.
