-♦ The first time a man loots at an advertisement he does not see it. The second time, he does sot notice it. The third time he is dimly conscious of it. The fourth time he faintly remembers having seen something of the kind before. The fifth time, he half reads it. The sixth time he turns up bis noise at it. The seventh time, he reads it through and says, " Pshaw !" The eighth time, he ejaculates, "Here's that confounded thing again!" The ninth time, he wonderous if u there's anything in it." The tenth time, he thinks it might possibly suit someone else's case. The eleventh time, he thinks he will ask his neighbor if he has tried it, or knows anything about it. The twelfth time, he wonders how the advertiser can make it pay. The thirteenth time, he rather thinks it must be a good thing. The fourteenth time, he appears to think it is what he has wanted for a long time. The fifteenth time he resolves to try it, as soon as he can afford it. The sixteenth time, he examines the address carefully, and makes a memorandum of it. The seventeenth time he is painfully reminded how much he needs that particularly excellent article. The eighteenth time, he counts his money to see how much he would have left if he bought it. The nineteenth time, he frantically rushes in a fit of desperation, and buys it. And the twentieth time he thinks | himself a fool for not buying the article when he first saw the advertisement.
