Advertising or
BilIboards Often
Harmful
BY HOLLAND.

DUBLICITY is not neces-
L sarily advertising. Pub
icity can be achieved in such
a manner as to be harmful.
Advertising can be done in
such a way us to be worse
than useless. The advertis-
ing that is successful must
make and leave a good i'm
preston.
Thousands of people
throughout the country OBJ
ject to billboard advertising.
They are angered at disf1g-
urements OF beautiful land
scape. and if they remember
the name Of the article on the
billboard it is with a feeling
Of resentment If not with the
distinct resolve not to buy
that particular object.
Circulars thrown into yards
annoy neut householders.
They give a bad impression
instead Of making friends.
You would not expect good
results from waking q man
at 2 o'clock in the morning to
tell him about the advantages
Of doing business with you.
and you would not preface
an argument for visiting your
store with q slap in the face.
The billboard and the circu-
lar are often the equivalent
Of a slap in the face-n0t
to every one perhaps. but to
many. Why take chances Of
offending when the newspa-

UNUSUAL PRICES STIMULATE
Trading in Tobacco Has Been to the
Top Notch

The hurry and scramble in effort to
capture unsold remnants of the Vernon
county tobacco crop, has somewhat
subsided and the race is more moderate
While there are many crops unsolc, Il
very large per cent of them are under
contract, and at prices in excess of any
past year except perhaps 1906, when
every dealer dropped a wad of his sur
plus. If any there are who have not
sold it is certainly because they failed
to agree with the buyers. Every grow
er has been visited by numerous agents
OF this movement and other condi-
tions the Tobacco Reporter says:
There is plenty of evidence that the
big rush in the buying movement is
about over for the present at least.
While buyers of the American Cigar
Co and the United Cigar Manufacture

concerns are still riding the growing
districts, some of the large operators
have retired from the field and the ag-
gregate sales of the week have declin-

Prices however, have been we'll main
