ADVERTISING THAT MADE GOOD

Mrs. Lucy King, owner of some
hundreds of acres of rich land near
Greenville, H., the home of pet
Cream" and her two daughters, Miss
Grace Blanchard and Miss Annie
King, have arrived in Mena, coming
with the thought uppermost Of max
ing this healthy mountain country
their home.
The story of the circumstances
surrounding their coming to Mena is
interesting.
When the Arkansas on Wheels
train passed through st. Louis they,
with thousands of others, received a
goodly supply Of the literature be-
ing distributed. Among this was a
copy of the Mena and Polk county
folder. They took it home and read
it over, but in doing so misread the
heading, polk County, the Bounti-
full" reading it instead, Pope coun-
ty." Having had some knowledge of
the latter county, and not caring for
it, the folder was thrown into a box
of trash.
Soon thereafter they CHANGED to
get hold of a copy of The Star, and
finding more about POLK" county
that sounded familiar, they dug out
and re-read the folder. They we're
pleased with it, and on looking over
the paper again found a small adj
vertisement of Mrs. e. s. Stoddard
and wrote her. Correspondence de-
|veloped the fact that both Mrs. King
and Mrs. Stoddard were members OF
the New Thought Society Of Kansas
City, and further correspondence rs
|sulted in bringing Mrs. King and
her daughters to Mena.
