You will find it in the morgue department of the libraries still. By the aid of strong tobacco I read into it and into many " success " books for the blind mind; also I have studied numerous salesmanship works upon how to sell your soul with your goods. I have further prospected vast stretches of print, telling of methods and tricks for saving time that take all the time there is, and would take more if there were any more; and collections of instances of successful advertising that would seem to show that it is all chance what kind of advertisement brings results.
