Because possible economies in
buying for the home are often
small, figured on separate items,
many women consider that it
would hardly pay to devote much
time to ad-reading. But the aggre-
gate of these economies, possible
to the ad-reader, in the course of 4
year would be so large that the
average woman would gasp at the
figures.

Port Arthur News: The Abb
beville, La, Progress has just
finished its first year of existence,
and announces that it now under
the laws of the state is entitled to
all the emoluments coming to the
legitimate press. Editor O'Bryan
is requested to forward us a copy
of that state law which entities a
legitimate newspaper to some
emoluments. We'd like to get
it passed by the Texas legislature.
Abbeville progress., 1914-03-21

would naturally be to impress
upon the buying public that
your goods offer them certain
advantages, and that only
articles bearing your name or
trademark are genuine pro-
ducts of your factory. The
most direct, as well as the
most ecOmical course for you
to pursue TO attain this end
would be to advertise your
brand i'll an effort to induce
readers to make a trial pur-
chase. If your goods come up
to your advertising claims,
repeat purchases will readily
follow, and all established re-
putation and demand for your
goods is assured. It is safe to
say that you would not make
in your advertising statements
about your line of products,
that are not true, as no buyer
who is dissatisfied with a trail
purchase could be induced to
accept your brand the second
time. On the other hand, if
you were a manufacturer of a
mediocre or inferior line of
goods, it is not likely that You
would mark your products i'll
any way that would enable
consumers to trace to YOUR
factory the responsibility for
their lack of merit. Some re-
tail merchants are, still foolish
enough to handle unbranded,
unknown merchandise, but the
more progressive ones are re-
fusing to stock lines of this
class of goods, as they realize
that their permanent success
demands that they offer their
trade goods Of known quality,
bearing the names of reputable
makers. Then, too, they re-
cognize the fact that a manu-
facturer of branded, advertised
merchandise offers them a
most powerful weapon with
which to combat mail order
and other foreign competition.
Abbeville progress., 1914-03-21
Community Co-Operafior,


Surely you want your home
town to be the best town of its
size i'll the country, and
furthermore, you want to see
it grow, because its growth
and improvement makes it a
more profitable as well as a
more pleasant place i'll which
to live.
These desires OIL your part
demand that YOU take advant-
age of every opportunity to
assist in the promotion of its
welfare. You must recognize
the fact that good stores make
a good town, and that the
maintenance of good stores is
impossible unless the citizens
of the community patronize
them.
Then isn't it your duty to
yourself and to your neighbors
to conhne your purchases to
your local stores, i'll preference
to sending or taking your
money elsewhere?
The only question in your
mind should be: Can l get
as good values at similar
prices from my local mer-
chants as can be obtained else
where?" If you are a good
buyer, and know the kind of
merchandise to demand, YOU
can; all you have to do is to
insist upon standard, or trade
marked d-advertised brands. If
there happens to be any doubt
i'll your mind as to the super
iority of this class of goods
over the unknown sort, an
impartial study of the reasons
why cannot fail to convince
you that such is a fact.
For example put yourself
in the place of a manufacturer.
If you we're sure that your
products were as good as it is
possible to make them, and
that they were superior to the
goods made by your conpet-
itors, you would set about to
devise ways and means of
marking them that would
enable consumers to dis
tinguish your line from in
ferior competition. This
would result in your branding
every article leaving your
factory with name, or trade
mark, and your next move

 Unbleached muslin is the material to be used. In some parts of the south il is known as unbleached cotton cloth The lighter the weight the better the curtains. It thickens up somewhat in washing and the heavier quality does not look well after 1t Is laundered. have seen really pretty curtains made of this material scalloked at the edges with turkey red. Arabesque patterns worked in the Bulgarian colors so much in vogue, would make the curtains al most elegant. The time and labor ex- pended thus would not be thrown away The colors are fast and the curtains will last for years. Of course, they arc Ito be used in bedrooms and in the fam lily sitting room, not in the parlor.
