BORDENS BOOST
MILK PRICE
(By United Press Association

Monroe, Wis, April 25.-An echo of
the recent strike of the dairymen sup
plying milk to Chicago is seen in the
announcement of the Borden Milk
Condensing Co., that all patrons Of the
local plant will receive an increase
of twenty cents per hundred pounds
over the contract price for April. The
increase will give the patrons Of the
local plant practically the same price
for their milk as that gained by the
dairymen in the Chicago section.

ASKS ADVERTISERS TO
CUT SPACE BECAUSE OF
THE PAPER SHORTAGE
By United Press Association.

Findlay, Ohio, April 25.-The Find
lay Republican has mailed letters to
all its advertisers asking them to re
duce the size Of their advertising
space. The action was taken, it was
stated, because of the scarcity of
printing paper, which has advanced
a hundred per cent in price during the
last year. It is now about four cents
a pound in large quantities.

Power of Advertising.

"When the publisher of your local
paper solictis your advertising you felt
he was asking a donation to enable
him to live. You couldn't see that in
advertising he was offering you the
same means to gain customers that
the catalogue houses were using. You
let them beat you to it. Wasted
your opportunity.
Truly, my friends, the catalogue
house, the automobile and the in
terurban are creating new opoprtun-
tiles for you daily. The manufacture
ers and jobbers are spending millions
to help you cash in these opportuni-
ties.
"Consider these figures: The total
annual mail-order business is about
$250,000, 000 The total amount spent
annually for advertising of all kinds
is approximately 1928, 100000, In order
words, the manufacturers and jobbers
of the country are spending to build
up business for you practically $3.50
to every dollars worth of business
done by the mail order houses.
Look upon your advertising as a
live, vital factor in your business
not as al expense, but as an invest
ment. The first step you must take
is to resolve to appropriate a certain
percentage of your volume of business
to advertising. Then you must doubly
resolve to advertise persistently.
''The most logical form of advertis-
ing for the small town dealer is that
afforded by the columns of his local
newspaper. Show me a town with a
good, prosperous paper and I'll show
you bunch of live merchants who are
not wasting opportunities. The news
paper is the barometer of the towns
spirit of progressiveness It is read
from the first to the last period.
''The catalogue houses have created
a big part oftheir market by telling
the people how desirable this or that
would be to save labor, save money.
add to comfort and make life more liv-
able.
True, you may have stocked these
things all the time, but you never
thought of telling your possible Gus
toners about them.

Small Town Dealer Can Be Success

pOrtunities.
LOCAL PAPER POINTS WAY
Retail Should Look Upon Publicity
in Home Publication as an Invest
ment, Not an Expense.
Says Speaker.
LOCAL PAPER POINTS WAY

If the retail dealer has wasted his
advertising opportunities his custom
ers will heed the call Of the appealing
advertising of the stores in other
towns, and if he has not been wasting
his opportunities he will get the bust
ness. This was the assertion made by
Charles Simmons of Waterloo in an
address at Sioux City, Ia, on WASTED
Opportunities in Advertising" His
remarks will be of interest to readers
of the Auxiliary because of his advo-
cacy of the use of the local newspa-
per by all merchants.
''The large city stores have been
ducating the small town dealers Gus
toners to a better way of living" Mr..
Simmons declared 'Their advertis-
ing has appealed to pride-has created
a desire for better clothes, better fur
niture, more comfortable and conven-
lent living conditions. When the auto
mobile and interurban comes they heed
the call of this advertising and run to
the city to make their purchases.
"That is, they do if the small town
dealer is wasting his opportunities.
If he has not been wasting his oppor-
tunities-if he has not been telling
them what he can do for them, if he
has been tying up his advertising with
national advertising, consistently and
persistently, then he gets the bust
ness"

BUILDING SAFER SCHOOLS
All over North Carolina People Are
Aroused to a Desire For Better
and Safer School Building.

One Of the best signs of the times
is the awakening of the people In re-

BuildingJ' From one end Of the
country to the other, and especially
In North Carolina people are being
aroused to desire to have their
school buildings safe for their child
reu
Insurance Commissioner Young Is
especially grained that nearly every
new school building to be erected In
the State Is to have the Double Tower
Stairways, as advised by him, and
no stairWays or other opening between
the floors on the inside of the build
ing. This will absolutely care for the
smoke panic that causes over ~ per
cent of all the casualties In school
fires, With the discussion and pub
licity that has been given to the mat
ter in the State, this is not surprising
but 1t Is surprising that the Commis-
sioner Is receiving from nearly every
State OF the Union requests for the
pamphlet issued by him showing the
proposed safety suggestions.

JOHN T. SCOTT WANTED,
BY INSURANCE DEPARTMENT

Some time ago there arrived In
ASheville a man from Pennsylvania
by the name OF John 7 Scott, who
went into the insurance business. He
seems to have violated about every
law OF the State governing the su
peryision and control Of Insurance
agents. The Insurance Department Is
anxious to be advised of his wherea
bouts In order that he may be brought
back here and put upon trial for his
many misdeeds in swindling the peo-
pie as we'll as the companies that he
represented,
This is a very striking case showing
the Importance of care upon the part
of insurance companies In their Sc,
lection Of agents and the caution that
our people should exercise in patro-
nizing agents without being satisfied
that they are men Of character and
standing There Is as much danger
In trusting an insurance agent who is
unreliable and without character as
In dealing with any other unreliable
business man.
