Humble Pie.

We often hear OF eating humble
pie" In the old hunting days OF "Mer-
rie England when Il stag was brought
down. the quarry was broken" on the
spot. the choice parts OF the venison
being reserved for the huntsmen. while
the entrails. heart. liver. etc. called in
the hunting language of the day the
"numbles." were given to the common
people.
OF these they made pie called
humble pie" Hence to eat humble
pie" became to abase Oneself-apOO-
gize abjectly. The transition from
humble pie" to "humbe pie" was
easy, especially in view OF the signit-
canoe of the word.
Doffing the Hat.
DOffing the hat comes from practice
of soldiers of antiquity taking off their
helmets when no danger was nigh.
Thus does man lift his hat to show
that he dares to stand unarmed in your
presence.

They Are Judicious Advertisers

They Are JudiciOuS Advertisers.
For the past three weeks and again
this week the advertisements Of the
Bensons of Shreveport have appeared
on this page Of the Banner. The reader
has no doubt noticed that without ex-
ception the same advertisement has not
appeared twice.
The Bensons believe in advertising
and hnoac ho,c to advertise. That's why
there is money in it for them. The an
nouncements have chiefly set forth plain
facts = convincing talks on why they
should have a portion of yonr trade
ard the elucidation of their newly in
augurated Percentage System. This,
by the way, they make plain in but a
few words:
ssTo the actual factory cost of every
article we sell, we add the exact percent
age cost of doing business, based on
the previous years record, plus nomi-
nal percentage for our profit. The re-
suit is the exact price at which goods
are marked"
1t occurs to us that they have struck
the key note as to 'How to advertise
and how not to advertise" The mere
statement Of facts convincingly SCI
forth and attractively displayed in {
reputable newspaper that enjoys bona
fide circulafion-a culled, paid circula'
TOMS sufficient, along with the an
nouncement of a few prices-leaders
one might say. This is just what thu
Bensons do and that's why we hold tina
they are judicious advertisers. Jus
now they are advertising extensively il
the Shreveport dailies and several o
the better country weeklies in the i'm
mediate territory tributary to that city
and no doubt their well planned cam
paign will result in charging thei
already immense scope of trade. Thei
example is worthy of emulation by a
wide-awake dealers in Shreveport VII
: are in their class.
