Suggestions on Advertising

Don't give list of goods that are
always carried in store of your kind
without giving prices. If you are in
the dry goods business, people know
you carry calicoes-the price is what
interests them.
Don't use twenty inches of space
and try to crowed forty inches of adj
vertising into it. One thing well adj
vertised is worth more to your bust
ness than a dozen articles poorly ex-
posted.
Don't write your advertisements
hurriedly. Anything that is worth
doing at all, is worth doing well.
Don't get the copy for your adv.
to the newspaper at the last minute.
Have it ready and in hands of the edi-
tor several days before the date of
publication.
Don't advertise just now and then,
but keep at it all the time. A small
space used constantly is worth more
in final results than large space
occasionally.

~ OWN in North Carolina ii

tain mail order catalogue
is the universal guide, pre-
ceptor and authority on all subjects.
A certain North Carolina Justice of
the Peace opened his court one morn
ing with three negro prisoners before
the bar. He sat down behind pine
top table, tilted back in his hickory
chair, expectorated in a nail keg and
informed the audience that the court
was ready to proceed.
Calling the prisoners to the front he
reached up to an old shelf behind him
and took down his copy of Sears, Roe
buck & Co. catalogue, place it before
him and advised that he was now rea-
dy to proceed. Calling the first pris-
oner he demanded his offense. The
evidence being strong, the negro ad-
mitted "he stole the chicken" The
magistrate opened the catalogue, adj
vising that he would now consult the
law and the statutes. "How old are
you, niggah 2" said he. Use twenty
two" replied the prisoner. The judge
commenced TURNING the pages until
he had turned twenty-five, when he
stopped and on the page before him
was listed sewing machine at six
ty dollars. "This is a serious of
fense,' said the judge; "the prisoner
is guilty and / fine him $4,000 and
