NOTICE. Inc CONTRAST.
Thomas C. Barrett has to his credit a
record of twenty years OF faithful ser
vice to the state, in positions largely
honorary and all serving to give him
training for the governorship. Ruttian
G. Pleasant has been for twelve years
holding Jobs that have paid him well,
but have brought him no experience OF
the sort needed by a governor.
For twenty years Thomas c. Barrel
has been the best friend organized Ia
Dor has had in the public life of the
state. The only record Ruftln &. Pleas
ant has in this direction was secured in
1903, WHEN he was commander Of gun
squad which drove fifty union lIneman
out of the city of Shreveport on threat
of death.
Thomas G, Barrels platform pledges
for the future are absolutely guaran'
teed by his record of accomplishment in
the past. Ruhln g. Pleasant has never
tIken the people into his confidence
and has not issued party platform OF
any description.
Thomas c. Barrett has conducted his
campaign in aw-abiding m a n n r,
4
staying strictly within the $4,000 limit
imposed by the corrupt practices act,
though it has handicapped him at every
turn. On the contrary, the Pleasant
campaign forces have spent money law
ishly and are still at it, employing more
than a score of men and women to fur
Their his interests from his headqua,
tiers. This money can come from but
one source the saloons and breWerieI
and office holders of New Orleans who
expect to profit by his election to the
governorShip.
Thomas C. Barrett is endorsed by thu
good women of the temperance Organi
cations, by practically every miniSte
and most of the school teachers of tn,
state. Pleasant has the endorsement
of Martin Behrman, Bob Ewing and al
the little bosses of the city OF New iOr
leans, together with the liquor inter
eStS in the city aud country. Ever,

the two candidates, Shreveport is sup
porting Mr.. Barrett and not one is sur
porting Mr.. Pleasant. These m e
KNOW both the candidates.
Thomas c, Barrett declares that

Since January LIST, 1907, to Date, We Have
Installed in the Louisiana Rice Belt nearly
$50 Complete Layne Rice Irrigation Plants

During that time the total number of Layne
wells which have gone TO the bad, all of
which we have made good, by drilling at our
own expense new wells to replace them,
AMOUNTS TO ONLY EIGHT, Two of the
above number failed after our guarantee had
expired but we made good on them at our
own expense just the same.
All of these eight lost wells" were drilled
and completed by US before January lst, 1909,
as prior to that date we were not using the
LAYNE PATENT SHUTTER SCREEN, but
were using a type Of wire wrapped screen
very similar to that which few others are
still using at this time However, since Janu-
airy LIST, 1909, we have used the LAYNE PAT
ENT SHUTTER SCREEN exclusively in this
territory and to date not single we'll COM
peted with LAYNE PATENT SHUTTER
SCREEN has failed.
1t is very true that quite few wells drilled
prior to January 1st, 1907 have failed, eS-
pecially during this past pumping season. 1t
is also very true that there Was not one
inch of Layne Screen of any kind used in
the completion OF these UellS, as prior to

that date (January 1st, 1907 there Was only
one yell in the Louisiana Rice Belt completed
with LAYNE SCREEN. That one well was
drilled during the spring Of 1902 on the old
Telling & Kenney farm north Of RoanoEa La.
This well now belongs to MeSSrs. Earle 4 Son
of Roanoke, La, is still strictly in commits.
Sion in fact it has Watered its rice crop each
and every season since it was drilled and is
now ready to do the same for the coming crop,
A number Of these old wells which have
failed, have been referred to as LAYNE
WELLS. That was possibly due to the fact
that they had been equipped (since Jan lst,
1907 with the LAYNE PATENT PUMP
WITH ENCLOSED DRIVE SHAFT AND PRO-
TECTED BEARING, and Steel Pit, however,
in each and every instance the Steel Pit and
Layne Pump was removed from the lost we'll
and re-installed on the new well, which was
drilled to replace the lost one.
We are ready and willing to shoulder the
blame for the eight lost weUs referred to in
the foregoing, they were, and are our loss
exclusively. But Just stop and think a minute

exert great influence and the line OF
least resistance is to have those first
impressions favorable. If our adver-
Using contains exaggerated, SenSa-
tional or untrue statements the public
will inevitably conceive a correspond
ing impression of the company behind
that advertising. And we can't afford
to put any such obstacles in u W
path, eve though they do deceive a
few unsuspecting people and momen-
t2rily stimulate cur sales. We are go
ing to be in business a long while and
a lasting foundation cannot be built on
mere strategems.
Maxwell must mean something. 1t
must make known that behind the car
there is an institution-not a dealer or
a salesman or any other representa- We
but an institution; a big, healthy,
permanent institution possessing aims
and ideals, whose product naturally
will reflect its good name"
institutional Merchandising
Speaking of the Institutional" idea
behind the Maxwell advertising policy,
Mr.. Flanders says:
institutional merchandising, which
Nlud liSIliS anu StllIlS, l. llOl
an idle theory. 1t is not vague sophis-
try. 1t is a real and urgent necessity.
The biggest and best known industries
in the world are founded on it and
have their whole being in it. They are
not mere businesses. They are institu-
Unconstitutional or international in
their scope and their present eminence
was attained through the character
and ideals they possessed and that
they made known to the public.
Maxwell has started to institution
alize. Maxwell advertising will create
and indelibly impress on the popular
mind a definite and distinctive idea
"A recognized standard of value, util-
ity and excellence that will suggest
itself with the word MaXwell-an I'M
conscious appreciation of the ideals,
the methods, the sincerity, the vast re-
sources, the in~tegrity-the very Spirit
Of the Maxwell Motor Company"
Truth in Advertising
On the subject Of truth in advertis-
ing, the statement reads:
"An essential element of institutions
al advertising is Truth. Unless you
can accept as literally and wholly true
the statements made III Maxwell ad-
vertising, you canno do justice to the
Maxwell car and the Maxwell Motor
Company-you cannot truly reflect the
Maxwell organization and you cannot
have the necessary confidence in the
ideals and honesty of the Maxwell
Motor Company. Let us have this
clearly and definitely understood by
every man now and for a. time.
wherever you see a Maxwell adver-
tisement-no matter whether it is in a
national weekly, standard magazine,
trade publication or local newspaper
you know or should know that you can
pin your faith to it and assure your
prospects, your neighbors and your
friends, that every word of that text is
fact.
1--WE make an honest product and we
insist that honest methods be employ
ed by us and all of our men in selling
it. This, then, will be the expression
of truth in Maxwell Institutional Ar,
vertising."
