BRUNSWICK HAS MILLIONS
IN HER BEAUTIFUL TREES

Mr. Joi1n Dayey, president Of the
"Dayey Institute of Tree Surgery" :"
went over the city yesterday, and
says that, in view of Brunswick s
great future, the live oaks and water
oaks which have been preserved can
not lie estimated at less than mil
lions Of dollars, and the special value
is in those which remain in small
groves which, if preserved, will con
stitute parks already made.
Mr. Davey is desfrous of meeting
all the business and professional men
of the city, also the ladies, at the
lecture t1is evening, for he says he
sees very grave errors in the new
paintings that have been made One
hundred and fifty photographs viii
be thrown on the screen, telling you
the wonderful story of tree life. While
the lecturer would naturally like to
have a large audience, yet he says he
desires those only to come who are
interested in the great economic prob
lem of saving the trees and also the
birds which are the tree protectors.
Lecture to begin at o'clock in the
High School auditorium.

ONE ORGANIZED AT MEETING OF
RETAIL MERCHANTS AS
ISOLATION.

The Retail Merchants and Business
Mems association heid a large and
enthusiastic meeting Wednesday aft
ernoon at which was organized the
credit bureau. which is to be con
Quoted in connection with the asso-
citation. The bureau elected Twitty,
Bennett & Reese as its attorneys.
Members of the association were
seen by representative of The News
Yesterday and when questioned as to
the purpose of the credit bureau, they
stated that it bad 9een formed for
the protection of the merchants as
well as certain of their customers.
They seem to realize that number
of people in the city carry a larger
credit account than they are able to
take care of, and as result, they
soon find it impossible to keep even. .
This matter has been discussed by
the association fully and while no
definite action has yet heen taken, it
is understood that a committee will
be appointed the duty of which will
be to compile list of names of these
people, and the same will be reported
to the association
This step is to be taken not only as
a protection for the association, but
it will also save those who are indebt-
ed to the various members some en-
barrassment. They will simply be
notified that unless accounts are set
tied credit will not longer be extend
ed to them.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM I. FREEMAN.

Several months ago | wrote
an advertising story based on
my daughters suggestion TO
apply tht SEVEN NOTES OF
MUSIC 10 advertising.
The point was made that
no piece OF music was ever
written that did not employ
ALL of these notes, ana that
10 advertising campaign was
ever made successful without
employing at least seven prin-
cipleS.
| don't recall now the seven
principles | used in the previ-
Gus story, hut there are 50
many multipleS of seven prin-
cipleS that can he applied q

following seven principles for

/. Don't strike a FALSE
note. ALWAYS TELL THE
TRUTH.
,. Keep on practising, i. E.,
NEVER STOP ADVERTIS-

3. Have your song to the
public written in a pleasing
manner. Don't put thunder
and lightning into il. Let it be
sunshine most of the time and
rain only when it is necessary.
4. Let the notes you strike
come from a WELL-TUNED
instrument - a BUSINESS
that is always kept IN PER-
Feet ORDER, that gives
good service, that sells only
RELIABLE ARTICLES.
5: DON'T BE AFRAID
TO KEEP ON REPEATING
