A representative of The Courier
interviewed Mr.. Vardaman at the
hotel where he stayed for the night
and asked for his opinion ON the
right and wrong way to advertise
subject he had mentioned in his
lecture as wishing to speak upon, but
was unable to do so in the time at
his disposal. He said
One of the things merchant
ought to consider in his ad is the
good points of the merchandise he
has for sale. The next is the news
value of an ad. In other words, the
telling of the story so that 1t is real
news to the person who reads 1t,
Tell of the wonderful value,
the good quality and the fine
items of manufacture. In this con-
nection Mr.. vardaman showed a
number of ads taken from mail or
der catalogues, magazines and news
papers. He explained how some ads
produce results and some do not.
"You will find" he said, picking up
a mail order ad of buggy, that the
first object that strikes the eye is
the buggy itself, then the price.
Next you read what wonderful bug
gy it is, how many good points It
has, and so that while you think the
price is very cheap you think the
buggy Is the best on earth. This
ad | am showing you sold 5000
buggies In one year.
Nov here Is another ad one
taken from a newspaper. There is
little selling value in 1t. The writer
does not suggest any reason why the
things should be bought. Practically
all he says is that so-and-so sells
such-and-such a thing Not a price
or reason for buying been given
Here Is another from a newspap-
err Notice the heavy black zigzag
border and the flat and indefinite
appearance of the text. While one
attempts to read this ad the eye
constantly wanders to the border II
is hard to read, says little and that
little of no interest to buyer, con
sequently the advertisement is worth
less.
The power of suggestion enters
into advertising the same as it enters
into your store work. In fact, ad
ver'tisng is simply form of sales

Is a large subject and ! am unable
TO go deeply into 1t at this time.

attention to this feature of his bust

Successful Year Comes to Close
Creditable Exercises-Picnic and
Barbecue


Maude Lee Lancaster, of NeWberry,
as teacher, the Dyson school, just
across the NeWberry line, in Green
wood county, had a most successful

ars acquitted themselves most credi-
tably.

which the building stands to the

George D. Haltiwanger, a graduate of
NeWberry college, and a man Of line
ability and of exceptional talents.
Among those who have since taught
the school is DR.. W. G. Houseal, OF
Newberry, whose first work following
his graduation from NeWberry college
was the teaching of this school for a
term of ten months.
The trustees of the school now are:
Messrs. Arthur D. Zimmerman, Geo.
W. Reid and A. G. Sigh. Tney met
on Saturday and reelected Miss Ian
caster for another year.
The exercises on Friday evening
were opened with prayed by the Rev.
Mr.. Dibble, of Ninety Six, who an
nornccd the numbers on the program,
and who presented the prizes which
had been offered by Miss Lancaster.
FLuther Backman Aull, Jr., won the
prize which had been offered for the
highest average; Henry Crouch, the
prize for excellence in attendance,
