Ballade of the Newspaper "Ad"
You may talk of pamphlet and almanac j Of bills stuok high on the lofty wall ; Of the '« sandwioh man," with hit lettered back— But the " ad " In tbe newspaper beats 'em all. And now that the skylarks begin to oall Merrily onto the summer skies, And the calf in the barnyard 'gins to bawlNow ia the time to advertise. What is the use of card and tack (The painted rook is a oase of " gall ") Letters oolored or letters blaok ? The " ad " in the newspaper beats 'em al). And now tbat the trout-brook, fall on fall, Is ringed and rippled with oast and rise, And the soft wind stirs 'neath the leafy pallNow is the time to advertise. ENVOY. Men of business — short and tall — The " ad " in the newspaper beats 'em all. Open yonr cheque-book, hearts and eyes — Now is the time to advertise ! — Hotel Men's Guide. -***
