Trip TO TPi-State Fair and Exposition

The Tri-State Fair Association
OF Memphis offered free trip for
two corn club boys and two tomato
club girls of Benton County, and
Cutral Pafford and Earl Banker
were the lucky boys and Miss Myr-

club girls who won the free trip.
We left Camden on train No. 4
September % for Memphis, escort
ed by superintendent and Mrs. M.
l.. Hardin. We arrived at Union
Street, Memphis, at $40 pm. We
took street car and went direct to
the fair grounds, where We Joined
the other club girls from Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee. In all
there we're about twenty club girls.
Mrs. Hardin had, charge of all the
girls.
Tuesday we put up our exhibit.
After we had finished we decided
to 90 and see the corn club boys
tents. As the boys were not at
home we did not remain long, but
watched the races awhile and took
a look at the stock exhibit.
The next day Superintendent
Hardin took the girls to the river.
We went next to Overland Park
and "Zoo," about 7 miles out from
the city on the car line. We saw
ostriches, eagles, deers, bears, sea
lions, alligators and almost every
kind of animal and bird, many of
which I had never seen before.
We saw many beautiful varieties
of flowers, and we noted many new
ideas about how to arrange flowers
which we will adopt next spring
After spending few hours at the
park we returned to- our boarding
place. and after dinner we turned

than two years I've worked dill

and after overcoming many obsta-
cles we have won. We now have
about seven county high schools.
They were established thissummer.
We gave Nashville about 500 to
draw up plans and specifications
for our two-story brick building.
Old Benton Seminary is even
known in the extreme western end
of Tennessee, where the soil is no
less fertile than the ancient banks
of the Nile. Yet amid it all can

ommend her more than myself if
handsome modern brick structure
would take its place.
Our town is small, only about
500 people. We bought four acres
for $500 in the heart of farm.
The following item came out in
the Dyer County Gazette:
"The twelfth district is the first
in Dyer County to adopt the con-

will be an ample number of recita-
ton rooms and the feature of the
building will be an assembly hall
that can accommodate as many rs
200 people. The building will be
of brick. There will be two wag-
onettes to convey pupils from their
homes to the school building. This
will be an innovation for this sec

OUR CORN SHOW.

My Dear Corn Club Boys-The
time will soon be here for our Sec
ond annual Corn Show. We want
to make this a great deal better
show than we had last year-in
spite of the dry weather.
Our prizes promise to be better
this year than last. $35, S25, $5, a
shotgun, saddle, several tons high
grade fertilizer and numerous 9TH
er things have been offered the
boys, including a pair thorough
bred Angora goats and some pigs.
The girls have a fine list also, in
cluding Jersey calf. So you see
there's something to work for.
We shall have our show about
the second week in November, I
think. Get your report ready,
have your acre measured again,
gather the corn as soon as possible
and look and select, look and Sc
lect, look and select! until you have
the very best ten ears of corn that
grew in the plot. Much depends
on this, and week spent looking
through your corn for ten ears the
same size around, exactly the same
length, with grains all the same
color and no unsound grains, may
mean the most profitable week of
your life.
Write me card at once if you
intend to exhibit, and let every
body exhibit. 1t makes no differ
ence if you made only one barrel;
send in your report and bring ten
ears to the Corn Show at Camden.
It shows the other fellow that you
are not "quitter," and we all had
dry weather to contend with.
I will send you rules as soon as
your card comes. One thing, you
must have two responsible wit
nesses measure your ground and
corn when gathered and do the
work SO accurately it can be sworn
to. In case you expect high
yield let me know and I will ap-
point two men to measure your
plot and corn. Above Is barrels
will be considered high yield.
l make this announcement to Get
you ready. The premium list will
appear next week, also some fur
ther suggestions.
Girls and boys should both 90 to
work. Only a few weeks remain
until somebody will win first prizes
shall it be you?

Persistent Advertising
Copyright 1919 by George e. Patterson

Persistency in advertising is
being constant and steadfast in
carrying out an advertising cam
paign. ut is the constant drop
ping of the water of publicity that
wears away the stone of inditfer-
ence."
The advertiser should hammer
home one proposition at a time,
never being afraid of repetition,
for advertising may be said to be
repetition. A few advertisements
may or may not be profitable-the
chances are they will not. But
regular and judicious advertising
is always profitable rs it keeps the
merchants name before the people
all the time. 1t is alto in the ma
ture of useful information to the
public, as it educates the public to
look regularly in a certain news
paper and certain place for GER
tain business news relative to a
certain store,
The merchant who is persistent
and masters every detail of his
business is successful. But if he
has not studied advertising and
become familiar with it he has not
mastered one of the very import
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1913-10-17

ant details of his business. The
reason why only about one in
twenty merchants are successful
as Dun's and Bradstreet's sta
tistics show is because only about
one in twenty merchants master
advertising as it relates to their
business.
Persistent advertising is not
merely to hold business or to pull
business away from competitors,
but to gain new customers, and
satisfy existing demands and cre-
ate new demands. A merchant
must be constant, steadfast and
regular to accomplish this desired
result.
One celebrated retail merchant
who has. perfect knowledge of
every detail of his business and
reaps rich reward has this to saw:
ga good newspaper-good adver-
tising in that newspaper-persist-
ed in-backed up by the right
kind of merchandise and the right
kind of store service-that's a COM
bination that will spell success for
any merchant who has foresight
and understanding enough to give
it trial"
