Patronize Home Industries.

There is much good. wholesome
food for thought in the following bit
of logic from an exchange, which
many of our own people might pom
der and act upon with profit to them
selves and the whole community:
MANY town has grown into a
large and prosperous city in a few
years because of local patriotism and
public spirit. Both of these are en-
couraged and developed through the
habit of patronizing home industries
1t is one of the most important
habits for the people OF any town to
form If they would advance their
own community. No man who makes
his living out Of a town is showing a
fair spirit who sends the money he
gets out of that town to some other
town for goods which he can get as
cheap at home Patronizing home
industries is not only business-like,
but is fair and right"

The interest that has been excited
in corn culture in this section of the
State gives pretty good assurance
that this years corn crop in North
Carolina will be the largest ever pro-
duced. The incidents of last week s
corner in wheat shows that the South
ought to help the West raise wheat.
AS the corner is analyzed, it shows
cOnclusively that it was made possi-
BILE by the shortage in the wheat
supply. There have been indications
of a break-away from all cotton and
the sooner that comes the better
The country is not producing too
much cotton. but it is producing too
little breadstuffs. The possibilities
of truck and grain farming are usu-
ally lost in the rise of the cotton
market, which happens every year
just about corn planning time, and
many small farmers are tempted to
put everything down in cotton. The
rapid growth OF the population of
this country requires a correspond
ingly larger increase in the food sup
ply. the farmers business and OPP
portunities are always on the in
crease

Dear Sir: What will it cost to SOW
ten acres half wheat and hall daisy
mixed? and what II the crop be worth?
We don't know what daisy seed costs.
nor how bulky it is; we suspect ball
wheat and half daisy would make a big
crop OF daisies, and last long time; the
wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on the
cost Of a paint half white wash White
wash mixed half-and-han with paint,
is all-paint in look and feel; indeed nine
tenths OF the paint" in the stores 10
part whitewash; some hall, come more,
some less.
Paint has to be spread with the brush.
the surface prepared, the ladders. seal
folds, pulleys and ropes arranged and
moved, there's a great deal OF labor In
putting paint on; it costs ~ TO 81
gallon to do it.
What does it cost to paint whitewash?
Just the same Half an-whitewash2 Just
the same. 1t doesn't seem worth while.
for the whitewash does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the whitewash
fast? or the whitewesh loosen the paint!
Better paint pure paint, the least-ga[
Ions paint, the least-money paint. DeFoe.

house in 1888 and became a partner
in 1898.
April /. 1860, the Ayers, father and
son. started the advertising business
at $50 Arch street, with an invest
ment of $3.50.
In the fall Of the same wear they
removed tn 719 SAMSON street. In
January, 1872. larger quarters were
again necessary, and they went to
733 SAMSON street.
Again OutgrOwing their aecommo-
dations. they removed in 1876 into
the building then being erected for
tine Philadelphia Times, at Chestnut
and Eighth streets Here they stayed
for twenty-six years, having gradual
ly ext ended over four floors of the
Times building and three floors of an
adjoining one
Early in 1903, the firm removed to
the Mariner and Merchant building.
Third and Chestnut streets, where it
occupies several floors, and where ad-
ditional space has several times been
taken, including quarters in adjoining
buildings.
Starting without any employees, the
Aver & Son family, as they term it.
has constantly grown. In 1876 it
numbered twenty; in 1894, 125; in
1908. 200. and at the dinner celehrat-
ing this birthday. there were 263.
Among these are many who are ex-
pert in some particular essential to
successful advertising; and as whole,
they form an organization that has
no peer in the advertising world.
The first year Aver & Sons busi-
ness was $15, 900 In ten years they
were doing the largest business in
their lina-a position which has been
maintained by them ever since.
Their explanation of this growth is
that they have made advertising pay
the advertiser.
They carry on their books on an
average $4,000 open accounts with
publishers. and the amount they have
paid the newspapers of this country
exceeds $5O.OOO.OOO.
Great as this sum is, it is small in
comparison with the other millions
that have been paid to the newspa-
pers through other sources for ex-
plotting articles along advertising
trails blazpd by N. W. Aver & Son.
Aver 4 Son have made a speciality
of advertising staples. In the early
days it was thought that advertising
was appropriate only for proprietors
of patent medicines. or, at best. for
an owner of speciality. This fallacy
thev have effectually exploded.
Many specialties have been made
by advertising. and the staples Of
commerce have sold in this way to
an extent the fathers never dreamed
of.
AS a single illustration Of this
point, witness the well-knOwn soda
cracker which when given a name
suggested by A er & Son, advertised
by plans made by them. packed in a
remarkable carton and marketed by
wonderful organization. has made
the advertising success of the age
Uneeda Biscuit.
Aver & Son state that they have
more faith in advertising today than
ever before.
Looking backward, they see hun
dreds of business men who a few
years ago said, Advertising would
do me no good" but who today are
using it regularly and proitably.
Looking forward, they see hun
dreds more who will either have to
adopt this modern trade-building
method or see their business go to
more enterprising and progressive
competitors.
