tory of Richard j. Reynolds. OF Win
ton-Salem. n. G.
Mr.. Reynolds believes in advertising.
He reinvests between 2 and 3 per cent
f his annual sales in advertising.
When you know that in 1914 the II. j.

+ tobacco. it isn't difficult to under
tand just what 2 or 3 per cent in adj
.ertising means in dollars and cents.
ne Reynolds advertising account is
lnong the heaviest ever known.
In 1894 Mr.. Reynolds first realized
hat, properly applied and backed by
obacco worth all he asked for it. adj
'ertising was profitable. He invested
1000 that year and saw his business
row over 200, 900 pounds. Next year
ne spent five times as much-and his
business doubled.
Sincere Belief In Quality.
From that period to the present the
r.. j. Reynolds Tobacco company has
surged forward with sincere belief in
che quality of It's brands-and firm CON
tidence in marketing them With intelli-
and magazine advertising.
OoVolOPn0ut OF the Industry,
Tobacco, as an industry, lacked all
system when Mr.. Reynolds entered the
business years ago. The grower was
subject to laws of greed and chance
which means he was paid for the to-
oacco he grew any price spectators
chose to fix. With the development of
manufacturing came real competition

Mr.. Reynolds is Il modest, unassum-

Among all the many thousands of EN-
ployes in the great factories at Win
there is no mi more APP

who watches with the closest scrutiny
and directs with extreme foresight
every phase of his immense business.
Mr. Reynolds talks as interestingly as

THE BUGABOO LANDLORD

GARBAGE INCINERATORS
PROVE GREAT SUCCESS

Mabel Potter Daggett tells in the
Pictorial Review of many ways par
ticularly municipal control. in which
Germany leads the world. We quote
the following:
A garbage incarceration plan In Ger
many Is an ornament to the munich
palfty. You Would mistake it for a
museum or an art gallery. n you may
pass through 1t accommodating less dust
on your clothing than in walking the
length of a New York city block at 3
o'clock in h morning. The Hamburg
plan Is so neat and orderly that white
linen curtains with dainty embroidered
edges hang at the windows, which vie
in polished cleanliness with those of
Fifth avenue residence.
The incineration plant at Fuerth. a
suburb OF Nuremburg. Is located in the
best residential district surrounded by
rose gardens. The garbage destruction
building at Frank fort has over it's front
entrance an allegorical painting with
dark ~cavernous mountain side, only to
reappear on the other side as young.
beautiful, dancing maidens. The paint
ing symbolizes the German method In
the disposal of refuse. With the thrift
and economy that characterize the ma
ton. they transform 1t into a useful
commercial product and make money
out Of 1t. The refuse that goes through

creates the electricity that runs the
plant. and is then turned into Stag.
From the Stag are made paving blocks
for streets. sidewalks, and sewers.
Hamburg sells this Stag for one mark

Dur American municipalities do it so
differently. Amazing as 1t may seem,
they usually give away our very
valuable city refuse or v pay some
pne to take 1t away. The estimated
value of the household waste in New

through an inctneration plant. it would
probably furnish electricity for light

Merton Rice and Robert Pritchard, represented the Athenians and the negative of the question. Opposing them were Fred Goulette and Kenneth McLennan. The debate attracted some little at tention, and the short preliminary band concert drew a good sized house to hear the young men argue their question.
