THE "STANDlNG AD."

the Advertiser Familiar to the

1t Makes the Name and Business of
the Advertiser Familiar to the
People.
The man of the standing ad. is the
backbone OF the newspaper, and the
solid man of the community.
In Summer or in Winter, in sunshine
or in rain, his name greets the public
eye with every issue of the paper, and
people come in time to regard him as
we'll established in successful business,
whether they ever have been his patron
or not.
"Nothing succeeds like success"
and the public, once getting the idea
that a man is doing we'll, stands ever
ready to patronize him and turns to him
naturally when they happen to want
any thing in his line.
Somehow OF other his name has be.
come familiar. It is associated with
an idea Of stability. It gives the impress
sion that, whatever others may be, this
man is to be trusted, and people feel
that as matter of course he whose
name they see so often is thriving, and
they prefer to patronize the prosperous
man.
He may be grocer, a photographer,
a coal dealer, real estate agent, a dry
goods merchant, jeweler-no matter
what his line, this ''man Of the stand
ing ad." is instinctively recognized as
the best representative of it, and pat
ronage comes to him naturally; not all
in a rush, but slowly, steadily and
surely.
His modest announcement takes up
little space-a few inches at the most
but the name and the business always
strike the eye. They impress them
selves unconsciously upon the reader.
The man grows in general estima-
ton as the months roll on, and his
business is inevitably associated with
his name. We speak of him to others
as Blank, the real estate man.
We have no use for Blank now, but
when We want to buy or hire a house
Blanks name is the first that comes to
mind and we call at his office.
In this simple fact lies the whole
secret of the success of persistent adver-
tising.-Somerville (Mass.) Citizen.

Working C0nvicts On the Public
Roads.

What Vance county -needs-what
every county needs, in fact, where the
system is not already in operations
to work its convicts on the public
roads. Let the commissioners buy the
necessary road machinery, rock crusher,
plows, etc., and improve the public
highways Convict labor should be
utilized for this purpose. This plan is
adopted by some counties and with
great success. Mr.. w. w. McDiar-
mid, of the Lumberton Robesonian,
who has recently been to Guilford
county, says:
We met the superintendent OF convicts
of Guilford county, where they are using
the prisoners on the public roads, as
they are now doing in this county. He
told us that they have about thirty on
an average, and that the people of the
county are well pleased with the chain
gang. "They have to be fed anyhow"
the superintendent remarked, "and while
it goads some of them to have to work
where their friends and neighbors can
see them, the people enjoy the sight, and
the system has tendency to suppress
crime and lessen the burden of the courts
by working out COSTS"

MANY SAW THEM MARRIED
PROVING GROUND CONDITIONS.
Lieut.. Mason'> A nnua1 Report Suggests
Needed improvements.


The annual report Of Lieut.. Mason. in
charge of the proving grounds at Indian
Head, has been made to the Navy Depart
ment, and contains several items of general
interest. The report deals, of course, with
the conditions and repairs at the grounds.
Considerable damage was done to firing
butt No. 2, which had to stand the brunt OF
the shot from the twelve and thirteen-inch
guns. The three-inch wrought iron plates
have been replaced by siX-nch cast iron
material which will be better resistant
A brick bomb proof has been erected in
the rear of the range battery and also 800
linear feet of brick wall To retain the sand
for tests.
Lieut.. Mason went into agriculture and
succeeded as a farmer. He raised about
400 bushels of corn, Of good grade; $50
bushels of inferior grade, and about 8 tons
OF fodder. all of which will be sufficient to
support the stock. This experiment. is to
be continued annually.
1t is recommended that the present sys-
tenn of lighting by oil be replaced by
electric Lighting and that cheap dwellings
be erected for the employees, boat crews,
and the families of employees. Lieut. Mason
thinks that six houses, Of brick manufac-
tured at the station, each to cost about
$780, would be sufficient for the present,
to accommodate the employees.
