GREATER HENDERSONYILLE CLUB
TO REJUVENATE DECEMBER 4.
Planning to Interest Lodges of City i'm
Civic Club; New Financial Basis
to be Given 1t.

The Greater Hendersonville club
will rejuvenate on Friday night, De-
cemher 4, at the court house.
This meeting has been called for
the purpose of reinvigorating the club,
which has been inactive for several
months.
On this night there will be no meet
ings Of the lodges in the city and since
movement is on foot to interest these
organizations in the Greater Hender-
sonVille club it is hoped to have rep
resentative men from all of them.
Efforts are. being made to. have the
matter presented. to the lodges in a
way to show to them the importance
OF becoming working members of the
Greater Hendersonville club, and a
plan is being worked out whereby the
membership in these organizations
be somewhat mutual and unburden-
some.
The benefits of the Greater Hender-
sOnville club are we'll known to those
who have been sufficiently interested
in its workings to keep up with this
commercial organization, hence they
need not be repeated here since the
Democrat has enumerated them from
time to time, but the call Of the rejuve-
nation meeting will come as welcomed
news to large number of Hender-
sonville people who are interested in
the future of this city.
The people are urged to keep the
cate in mind and make arrangements
to attend this meeting which, it is
hoped will prove to be the beginning
OF life anew and place the club on a
more substantial basis.

Trade at home.
Be public spirited.
Take a home pride in it.
Remember it is your home.
Tell of it's natural advantages.
Trade and induce others to trade
here.
When strangers come to town use
them we'll.
Don't call your best citizens frauds
and imposters.
Support the local institutions that
benefit the town.
Look ahead of self when all the
town is to be considered.
Help your public officers do the
most good for the most people.
Don't forget you live off of the peo-
pie here, and you should help others
as they help you.
Don't advertise in the local paper
'to help the editor" but advertise in
it to help yourself
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1914-11-26

The wise advertiser does not rely
on cold type alone to tell about his
product when he can use a picture to
STOW his product and let it speak for
itself. The mind acts by forming mem
tai images of the things it deals with.
By education man has learned to spell
cut in type the name of thing and
to use that symbol to create an image
ir the mind of another. But a word
never did and never will create as ac-
tive or accurate an image as the thing
itself or picture of it. In fact, one
use 500 words to describe an article
in print and not describe it as well as
a camera and half-tone working to-
gether would do it. The folly of re-
lying wholly on words to tell about
merchandise, and about, and still
about it, but never fully being able TO
show it, must be apparent to any re-
f1ecting business man who has the Op-
ton of illustrating in good pictures.
This applies just as well, of course, to
the value of illustrating catalogues and
booklets as periodicals advertisements.
But there is another consideration
which would make the good illustra-
ton of an advertised article of first
Importance. Pictures draw attention.
They are so instantaneously seen and
understood by everybody-even with
out conscious effort at thinking
they constitute the universal language
of advertising and those w ho only
thumb over avertising pages and cat
aIogues get their meaning without in
tending to. Since attracting attention
is the first problem in advertising
and it is all important to attract the
right sort of attention and in the right
way, for the wrong sort of attention
il etrimental-nothing can be better
than an honest picture of the goods
offered, The advertiser who shows the
picture of something from his line in
his advertisement will therefore get
very much more notice and hence en-
joy wider publicity than he who uses
type only to draw custom.
When you reflect that it means
very much greater percentage of per-
sons who see and read ads carrying
Iictures, the argument to use them is
perfect. But when you understand
further that the picture helps the buy
er who is actually scanning the publi-
cation in search of line, to find it,
end that it enables him to connect up
with your offering with the minimum
CT work and delay, it would seem to be
worth adopting as rigid law in adver-
Using that products are to be shown
in picture whenever possible.
Be wise and illustrate the space you

dirt made by the excavations for the
alley paving in this district. This
pool of water is the first that has

in it, rode their bicycles through it
and splashed away with great en-
