Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.

The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
P. T. Barnum
True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary dispense with the new pair of gloves mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.
