I will lithograph jn four colors from design

Whoi you consider the^dbMsfimm the sunwmiShgoiimtiy* you can safely count 
on this advertising reaching one-half the adult population of the United States. 

Take all other methods of advertising that you may care to consider, and figure out 
the cheapest possible plan for one month's constant publicity, and you will find this the 
cheapest. ' . 

Then consider the prominence and impressiveness of this handsomely lithographed 
20-foot sign, and you will agree that this is also the best for the money — or even doutHe
