HHOUGHTS FOR BUSINESS MEN.

The season Of the advertising graft
ser is approaching and that Henderson
vile business men who are robbed Of
hundreds OF dollars each year may be
ca the alert the Democrat gives be-
4cT an item from the StatesviIIe Land
about the business men of Casio
mia and how they saved S12, 1850
that would have been squandered on
useless advertising schemes.
HendersonviIle merchants have been
heard to say that they are sick and
tired Of these schemes but for some
reason they have not been able to
turn them down The Merchants asso-
citation could take up the question
Eith a great deal of propriety.
Read the following from the Land
mark and then think it over:
Some time 2 a committee OF the
Gastonia chamber OF commerce took
In hand the matter of outside adver-
HsIng schemes which periodically in
Test e community in various
forms, and by agreement the business
men OF Gastonia decided TO d out all
<hese forms of advertising, which are
worth little or nothing, and to use the
columns OF the local newspapers and
such other home methods as arns.lsi
