Forty Towns
In Ten Days

A prominent manufacturer,
producing a new and superior
article for home use, recently
created in ten days a strong,
active demand for his product
by means of newspaper adver-
tising.
Having manufactured an
! article of unusual merit and
wishing to develop a large out
put in order to insure econom-
ical production, he decided to
devote a given sum to news
paper advertising for one
month in a well populated Sec
tion of the country. The Sec
tion embraced about forty
cities and towns.
The representative home
newspaper in each town was
used daily with copy that was
plain and straightforward.
Retail dealers were invited
to cooperate by featuring this
article in their windows.
A quick and gratifying de-
mand resulted and, with the
advertising campaign only
one-third finished, the manu-
facturer found his product a
household word and retailers
eager to be his agents.

POLITICAL POLECAT"
HELPS Stations CAUSE

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. THE worst cal
amity which has hit the Hardwick
campaign since that sandersville
statesman began his race against Gov
ernor aaton was the misguided effort
of Newt Morris, known for years as
the "Polecat of Georgia politics." to
drag the name of Mrs. Slaton into the
race. 1t was a boomerang which came
back and pumped Hardwick in the
solar plexus, for he had stood back of
the canard by permitting Morris to in
troduce him in his address at Marietta.
Newt Morris had framed up a very
skillful exposure of Mr. and Mrs.
Slatons tax returns, taking two sep
arate years, using some figures and
emitting others and verifying the old
adage that you can prove anything by
figures" Governor Slaton's headquar-
tiers committee nailed the lie good
and hard and clinched it in, but the
Morris contingent tried a come back
and an explanation"
Within forty-eight hours the Slaton
offices were besieged by letters and
messages that Hardwick men were
turning against him for thus dragging
the name of Southern woman into
the mire of politics. Almost without
exception the Georgia press condemn
ed the action of Hardwick and Morris
and several of them openly avowed
that while they had been friendly to
Hardwick they could not follow him
after that and would espouse the cause
Of Governor Slaton.
And now, on the eve of the primary,
Governor Slaton's friends feel per-
fectly confident. The Hardwick- Field
er combination has not succeeded in
breaking any of the Slaton strength
and it is considered certain that Sla-
ton will win clear majority over all
in Wednesdays talloting.

FUTURE CARTOONIS7

Atlanta, Ca, August 1.-THE coun-
try's future Nash or Davenport may be
an Atlanta boy, the ifteen-year-old son
of Judge Marcus w. Beck, of the SUI
preme court. Marcus w. Jr., is rapidly
developing into a cartoonist of no or

grow up to be a great cartoonist than
to win a place on the supreme bench.
Young Beck spends most of his spare
time with his pencil, making carica-
lures of famous folk, from Teddy and
his Teeth down to local celebrities
His work in school, while excellent,
has been rather handicapped by his
tendency to draw cartoons of his
teachers when he should have been
studying his algebra.

teachers always laughed when they
