Home Merchants
Have Fine Stock
of Christmas Goods

Our merchants are we'll supplied
| with all articles suitable for the hol-
iday trade, and, in fact, we have
seldom seen handsomer or more COM
plete stocks. People are hearken-
ing to the call of Santa Claus, and
there will be considerable money
spent between now and New Years
day. All of this money ought to be
spent with our home merchants.
They have the goods, their prices are
such as only allow them a reasonable
profit, and the fact that they have
their capital invested here and are
helping in many ways to make the
town, entitle them to first consid-
Grafton.
| Nevertheless, enterprising mer-
| chants of other cities are reaching
out for the desirable Lakeland trade,
and no one can blame them for do
ing SO. They are advertising ex-
tensively, calling attention to the
attractive articles they have to offer,
suitable for holiday gifts, and are in
all respects on the alert for the elu-
sive dollar.
The home merchant has the adj
vantage of being on the ground, but
he must combat the efforts of the
outside dealers to take business from
him, and the best way to do this is
to fight them with their own weap-
ons. He must let the people know
that he has what they want; that his
prices are right, and that he can
supply their requirements as
promptly and as cheaply as any
dealer anywhere. In brief, he must
advertise and do enough of it to do
some good
There are lots of ways of advertis-
ing, but the experience of those who
have made a study of the science of
advertising, and, incidentally. for
tunes by practicing It, is emphatical-
ly in favor of newspaper advertising.
The Evening Telegram is read by
everybody in Lakeland who can
read.
The Lakeland News goes into ev-
cry home in North Polk county
where the Telegram is not taken.
These two papers--real newspap-
ers-by virtue of their circulation,
character and influence, are the
ONLY mediums by which Lakeland
merchants can reach ALL the people
whose trade distinctly belongs to
them, and their message in these pa
pers commands attention which 9TH
err methods of advertising would not.
Liberal space in these papers could
be used to advantage now by any
merchant who wishes MS snare of
the holiday trade.
And above all, space should be re-
served at once in the Christmas edi-
tion of the Telegram, which will be
issued Saturday. Dec. 10Th, the
psychological date to catch the
buyer.

The personality of the venerable
Count Zeppelin is SO strong and
masterful and his great dirigible air
ship has so deeply touched the imag-
ination of the world and it's love of
the romantic and the wonderful that
whatever concerns him has a pc
culiar interest for the public. An
Illinois paper now makes the state
ment that when the Count was in
this country in the early sixties as
an adventurous young German trav-
eler, he fell in love with Dixie, en-
listed in the Confederate army and
fought through till the close of the
war. 1t is fascinating to think of
this great old man in the big war
now raging as a Johnny Reb." in

Damnable is a strong word, but
it is not too strong to express the
just disgust and indignation of the
Tampa Tribune against the fools
who point empty" guns at other
people, with the result of killing one
every now and then. All sensible
people feel that way about it, and
they also feel that mighty strong
language is needed to express their
opinion of the father who doesn' t
teach his boy any better.

The time is at hand to keep a
sharp lookout and take the neces-
sary precautions against the bank
burglars and safe-crackers who in
wade the South every winter and are
especially active in the smaller
cities and towns. We note that
they have already appeared in a
Georgia town and successfully
cracked small bank, and in
western Florida a nest of these
scoundrels has been discovered and
a conspiracy revealed to rob banks
on a large scale. They work with
nitroslycerine or Soup as they
call it, and it takes incessant police
vigilance to head them off.
