A Courteous Banlsergian.

In travelling the Highways it is
pleasant and refreshing TO meet with
the gentleman, in manners aud cor
tesy. We are sorry to record that in
our experience it is not universal
attribute to be found in all persons
who drive automobiles and Fords.
AS we came jogging along in Ill
the other Gay from Prosperity in Our
usual gaitpof from 10 to Is miles the
hour, there was another Ford trail
ing us for some distance. After
awhile we heard the sound of his
horn which We returned and drove
to the side to let him pass, as we
presumed that was what he desired.
He drove by and in passing he raised
his hat and said that he would soon
take lead so as not to give us his
dust. We do not knew who the
gentleman is, but he vas driving a
Ford, and his car had on it Bamberg
356. 1t is so seldom that one meets
such courtesy that We can not refrain
from mentioning it, and commencing
it to others. Courtesy and politeness
cost nothing, but they count a whole
lot in the sum o. human happiness.

Proposes a City Market.

For some time the Bamberg cham
Der of commerce has aeen consider
ing the advisability of having mar
ket place; a place where the farmers
may park their wagons when they
bring their produce to town. The
question for the citizens of Bamberg
to. settle is: Will the house wives
patronize such a place? The pres
ent method by which the farmer dis
poses of his produce is very unsatls-
factory both to the farmer and to the
house keeper. 1t is unsatisfactory
to the farmer in that it necessarily
takes time and trouble to go around
to each house to deliver foodstuffs,
thereby losing time from duties at
home. And the house wives, On the
other hand, have to take, perhaps,
inferior vegetables and other pro-
duce that is brought to their doors,
not being sure of another opportun-
ity to get vegetables for the day.
Then the competition of trade enters,
which always provides blessing TO
every community.
Before carrying the movement any
further, the chamber of commerce
would like to get the ideas of the
house wives with reference to wheth-
er they would be willing to come or
send to some designated place and
purchase their produce for the day.
If this meets with approval, the cham
Der asks that the secretary be notl-
fed to that effect either by card, note
or phone message. and the plan Will
be furthered by the chamber of COM
merce.

When President Wilson a short time ago issued statement urging the continuance of athletics it was with the. realization that physical fit. ress is an asset of vital importance- to the youth of the country itself. It. is to be deplored that many men with the best intentions in the world have been urging colleges to discontinu6 athletics during the war. They are urging the people to buy sparingly ,of everything; they urge taem to cut s down their food consumption. and to- spend money only for necessities.
 These men, no dou.t ar. sincere,g but they have not given serious, thought to the things they advocatk: One of the greaest qualifications ok a soldier Is his willingness to obey orders and the second is his. physlcai fitness Understanding this isn't it' foolish to even hint oi discontinue. ance of athletics? One of the ;lessQIAs of war has been the necessity for phy--s sical fitness. It is shown that of the many who have applied for entrance to the army and navy large mApOrs;

The new building of the Fox

Not only was it erected in Pine Bluff for Pine Bluff firm, but Pine Fluff architects designed it, Pine Bluff contractors built it. and practically every bit of the material used in its construction was purchas- ed thru Pine Bluff dealers.
 With instructions from the members of the Fox Brothers Hardware com- pany as to what was desired, the build- ing was designed by Architect Mitchell Selligman and his assistants, and the construction of the model home for the hardware company was entrusted to Contractors Galbraith & Royse. The finished building is testimony of the care and skill the architects and con- tractors bestowed upon the work, as well as evidence of the competency of the men who were engaged there- on--the steel workers. bricklayers. painters, plasterers and glaziers. R. A. Poole had the contract for the painting, and Charles G. Saiger for the plasterlng, while the more than 2100 pieces of glass in the windows and lights were put in by Frank Sen- yard.

GIVE ATTENTION
 TO ADVERTISING

For advertising to bring the great est results it must be persistent. The man who runs an ad one time and, because the people do not come to his store in droves, condemns advertis- ing as not effective, is making the greatest mistake of his life.
 The man who uses space in his To- cal .aper, who issues store paper, who sses circulars or circular letters regularly, month in and month out, will secure results, providing his publicity is such as will appeal to the people.
 And what do the people want to know.
 They want to know what you have to offer, the price you are willing to sell it at, description of the goods, short, and yet giving real informa- tion, the name of the store and it's location.
 In order to catch their interest and hold their attention, it is necessary that the advertiser exploit merchan- disc tha is in demand now and hat he give reasons why it can be bought to the best advantage st the particular store which is advertising.
 To get the best exemplification or the idea, study the advertising Of your strongest competitors. the retail mail order houses. They employ the best talent in the country and they get rtsults.-Twin City Commercial Bulletin.

 Brothers Not Equalled In Arkansas.
ENTIRE FLOOR FOR
 BUGGIES, HARNESS
Farmer, Sportsman, Artisan. House- wife Can Find There Anything in < Hardware Line That Is
 Manufactured.

The retail store of the Fox Broth. CTS Hardware company is declared to be the biggest and best stocked in inc state of Arkansas. This declara- t;on is made not only by the employ ea of the local firm, but by men who have had dealings with the Fox force and retail stores in other cities of the state.
 For one thing, Fox brothers retail stores handles lines that but few hardware retailers carry-buggies, waeons. saddles, harness and automo- nile accessories. One entire floor Of the threestory building is used for a display of buggies, saddles, harness, etc.
 No retail hardware handles a more complete line of gas, wood and coal .stovcs-heaters and ranges than is to he found at Fox brothers. They are there in all sizes-.1 om the heater for tiny bathroom or cooking stove for the little kitchen to the immense heater for large office to big range for the hotel cuisine. These nece ssary adjuncts to comfort, health, and even life; are manufactured by firms who have had years of experi- ence and have spent large sums and time in studying plans for stoves to give the best results. in consequence, il is claimed that the stoves handled by Fox brothers will give the best service and are economical in opera tion-using the minimum of gas or other fuel,
 Sporting Goods.
 The sportsman finds Fox brothers retail store delight. Here the hunt ar or fishermen can obtain anything that he desires for the hunt or fish ing. whether the finest shotgun or rifle CT, plain little fish hook. Four lines of sporting goods are carried, these comprising the paraphernalia ] for baseball, tennis ana other games u wsll as fowling pieces, ammuni- ton, rods, lines, flies and other traps for the man or woman who seeks sport in field, forest and stream.
 In cutlery, the highest class pro- ducts or offered the public. Whether 1t is a pen knife or a handsome carv- ing set that is desired, it is to be found in the Fox stock.
 Table ware of the best manufac- turer, and kitchen utensils of alum mum, granite and other material are also stocked in every design, size and form
 In the tool department everything carpenter or mechanic uses can be obtained in a moment, whether small file or a modern drill, and the same is true of the builders hardware department.
 It is the completeness of the lines carried. as well as the great variety that has led men and women who know to confer upon Fox brothers the distinction of having the biggest re- tail hardware store in Arkansas.
