Value Of Fair
To Our People

The fair is an educational clear
ing house II IS an agricultural and
industrial institute for residents Of
both town and country. 1t is short
course in better farming and better
living. 1t is a physical demonstration
of why the man who farms with has
head instead of with his hands must
iuveitably~ succeed.
It is comprehensive exhibition
of what the ambitious boy or girl may
achieves IN agriculture, livestock rals
ing dairying, horticultural, home, gar
dcning, domestic science or household
economy. 1t is an exposition of the
marvellous improvement i'll farm ma
chinerv and agricultural implements.
II is an object lesson in the great part
which improved machinery plays III
the developement and cultivation of
the farm and increased prosperity of
the farmer.
LOOK FOR YOURSELF.
The chief cdcutional value of our
fair lies in the fact that it is demon
strating in character. The eve is a
more convincing instructor than the
ear. We are slow to accept and be
lieve in anv new method until we have
had optical proof of its superioty
over the old.
Often it is difficult to secure the at.
tcntion of the busy man or woman long
enough to give such a demonstration.
Not infrequently il happens that farm
crs vino woull hc most benifited by
better methods on fa.ming are not suf.
ficiently interested to be present at
INV special meeting called for the pur-
Pose of discussing the subject.
But the fair appeals TO that trait OF
mankind which demands entertainment
nnd amusement and becomes a COM
mon forum for the discussion of all
matters having TO do with agriculture,
industry, the home and the school.
L. tnis clearing house of edcucation
the farmer learns what the manufac-
turef, the merchant and the banker are
ald have been doing to make his la
Dor less arduOus and his farm more
profitable and the town resident learns
what rapid progress is being made in
agriculture A bond of common inter
est is created which means much TO
I-th town and country.
VALUE 10 EVERYBODY.

He learns in what wav they assist in
soil cultivation, in plant growth, in
sowing, in harvesting, in threshoing
He learns the economic value of the
more modern machinery, of the silo,
of moter power on the farm.
The urban dweller is furnished Wv
i'd picture of the agricultural resources
of the community. He learns about

GIVING CREDIT.

We venture the assertion that
there are any number Of our read
ers who will pick up the Abbeville
Progress, glance over the ads, note
a number of attractive offerings
o from our merchants, and then go
straight to the he ises making these
offers and make their purchases.
In many cases the customer secures
decided bargain by his prompt
ness.
Now, If the merchant had any
means of knowing how many of
his customers secured their knowl-
edge of his offerings from the col
umns of the Abbeville Progress,
he could place correct estimate
ON the value to him of the space
that he uses in this paper to dis
seminate his store news. And it is
but justice to himself and the pub
fishers that he should have this
knowledge.
o Dear reader, just at this point
YOU can confer great favor on
both your publisher and your mer-
o chants, and it will cost you abso-
lutely nothing, either in money,
time or effort.
o If you will simply state, when
calling for any such advertised
article, II saw your ad in the
o Abbeville Progress" you will be
o giving him just the information he
is most desircus of obtaining, and
at the same time you viii give youi
o paper just credit for its efforts in
n vouI' and his hahalf
o This may seem simple little
favor we ask Of you, but it is big
o in possibilities to US and to you.
% If EVERY merchant could know
o just how many Of his customers
were attracted by his ads, many
o more would advertise, and YOUR
0 opportunities would be doubled and
o multiplied.
% May we not hope you will bear
o this i'll mind when next you make
