The County Fair.
Edgefeld Advertiser.

Edgeheld Advertiser.
An agricultural fair is a great OBJ
Ject lesson. 1t is intensively educa-
tive in it's character. 1t teacnes Dy
contrast and example when seeing is
believing. 1t creates healthy rival
ry and friendly competition. 1t
gathers knowledge and diffuses il;
it advertises and attracts: it pro-
notes social life and good feeling;
it inculcates feelings Of pride and
patriotism
1t is timekeeper of progress; il
records community's advancement:
1t goes into the home; it broadens
and brightens the daily life OF the
people; it opens mighty storehouses
of information.
The fair is business propostion
1t is an opportunity to advertise
your goods and your farm products
You place them before the people
thus giving you an opportunity to
better your condition by securing
some of your best seed corn, cotton
SEED, brood sows, fine cattle, horses,
mules, sheep, etc.
The fair spirit is taking a hold on
our people, interest is developing:
communities heretofore lukewarm
are catching the spirit and contagion
has set in.
Where fairs have been held long
est, you will find better live stock:
better farmers and better farms.
Hence you will see that we have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose by encouraging, establishing
and maintaining good county fair.
Patrons of our fair can afford to
be especially liberal, remembering
that every cent of profit goes into i'm
provements that will make each fair
better than the preceding one.

The Banker q
Our recent advertisement in these columns
entitled Are the Banks to Blame?" drew forth a
considerable amount of interesting correspondence
The advertisement mentioned three great Phil
adelphia bankers who financed the Government in
time OF War-Morris in the Revolution Clark in the
Mexican, and Cooke in the Civil Wharf.-The latter
having been the originator of the first national ad
vertisng campaign. Our attention is called to the
fact that omitted to mention Stephen Girard,
who financed the of 1912.
In the advertisement we stated our belief that
bankers should make of effort to amiliarize
themselves with national advertising as an invest
ment an integral part of selling and therefore
legitimate basis for extending credit to able
facturers.
The following quotations from a letter from
Philadelphia manufacturer are of interest in this
connection:
The Curtis Publishing Company,
Philadelphia.
Gentlemen:
The advertisement in today's Ledger
interested me, and l glad that it
printed. This concern has been fairly
prosperous for a good many years with
practically no capital invested in the busi-
ness, has never borrowed dollar from
bank in it's entire career, and has always
had money in bank-sometirnes not as
much as we would have liked to have had,
but still it money.
About three months ago wanted
some money for advertising purposes and
went to bank and told them I would
carry a balance there, guaranteeing to
maintain at all times not less than $1,000
deposit if they would lend us $3OOO I was
asked what I intended to do with the
money, and I told them intended to spend
it for advertising a product The
dignity of the officer must have been very
much hurt. He knew nothing about adVer-
tsing, probably had no commercial expe-
rience, and to my mind was poor banker
because he declined the loan, notWithstand-
ing the fact that the indorsers represented
not less than $15OOOO. Pretty good security,
don't you think, for $4,000 sum to be
invested in profitable business.
