TANLAC'S SUCCESS IS
DUE TO REAL MERIT.
HOT AIR WILL PUT A BALLOON
UP BUT WON'T KEEP 1T THERE.
1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
But Success Is Impossible Unless There
Is Dollar -for-Dollar Value Behind
the Article Advertised.

This is an age of advertising, and
everyone is familiar with the popu.
lar saying, 1T pays to advertise. y
Advertising is business force.
So potent is the charm cast by its
spell it has been known to perform
marvellous feats and to accomplish
phenominal results. 1t cannot be
truly said, however, that everyone
who advertises succeeds, for unless
full value underlays the articles adj
vertised. the advertising would ulti-
mately fall of its own weight. In
this connection we must not forget
the words of the immortal Lincoln,
who said: You can fool some of
the people all of the time; you can
fool all af the people some of the
time, but you cannot fool all of the
people all of the time SO if there
is not behind every advertisement a
dollars and cents value to the article
advertised, 70 amount Of advertis-
ing will stimulate the sale on such
an article beyond a certain point.
This applies to every line of busi-
ness, and the modern business man
or firm can only succeed through
honest advertising and fair dealing.
Hot air will put up a balloon but
it won't keep it there. So, when
the manufactures of Tanlac placed
it on the market something over 2
years ago, they did so with the firm
conviction that they were offering
TO the people the best and purest

A Call to CoIored FAMILIES.

On next Saturday, October 6,
siXty-four colored men will be in
kingstree for muster into the fed
eral service and for transfer to Camp
Jackson. These men must have
lodging for one night and the local
board requests all colored families in
Kingstree. who can provide lodg-
ing for one or more of these
men, to come to their office in the
court house and register their names
at once, so that when the men re-
port here they can be readily assign
ed to homes for the night. The
government allows so cents for
lodging each man. and the local
board expects the colored people of
the town to show their patriotism
by providing lodging for these men
one night. as the white citizens did
for she drafted men who left here
last Saturday.
Each family should straint a point
to accommodate as many men as
possible, and at 5.o'clock Saturday
evening have some member of the
family or representative at the court
house to meet and take them to
your home.

product of it, kind on the American
market today. They did not hesi-
tate, therefore, to eXpend vast sums
for advertising, because they knew
that the more the people heard
about Tanlac the more they would
buy it. The success the prepara-
ton achieved was immediate, and
people everywhere were quick to
recognize its genuine merit.
Tanlac has never been advertised
as cure-all" or that it would per-
form unheard-of wonders. The ad-
vertising has been clean, straight
forward and constructive. Actual
facts and figures have been stated
in a businesslike way in a manner
that has commanded confidence in
the conservative claims set forth.
Underlying these claims there has
been real value, not from a dollars
and cents point alone, but from
health as well. And that's Just
where Tanlac has scored. And
that's why it is here to stay.
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings

way; S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hin

CONSOLATION FOR THE SLEERl
MAN.

The merchant who fails to advertise
is not called upon to sweep out his
store so often In muddy weather. II
you do not advertise It is quite likely
you will not have to 60 to the bank so
often to deposit your receipts. Having
no advertising bills to pay usually re-
suits In fewer customers and you do
not have to keep so many clerks. You
have more time to yourself because you
can open up and close when you like, II
there are no customers to wait upon.
Then again, If you do not advertise
and do not do much business, you do
not have to talk to so many statesmen
and you do not have TO buy new goods
so often.
OF course, there are other advantages
to keeping your advertising out Of the
papers and reading books In the back
