A VOICE FROM NUMBER ONE ! WITHIN the walls of Blenheim City There dwelleth folks who seem most witty In saving all their hard-earned pence, Which truly shows good couimou sense, And, to prove that they are really wise, Almost object to advertise ! !

Good advertising creates good business ; good business creates Good Bargains ; and Good Bargains everyone wants.
