Mr.. l.. :. Mct;aughey. local agent for
the Cotton Belt Railroad. was remark
ing the first of this week that the
freight receipts at this point were the
greatest now since the office was es-
tahliShed.
The average number of freight bills
per month is now about 100 and runs
some months as high as 500. In fact,
there are more people living in Plain
Dealing than ever before and more
people living III the country around the
town. Therefore they buy more goods
from the merchants here-;lnd that is
one phase of the commercial history
of this growing town.
Mr.. Mct;aughey says the average
ticket sales are now about $1,000 per
month. which is also the greatest in

AD MEN TO TALK
OF WIDER USES
OF NEWSPAPERS

NEW YORK, July 16-The better
and more profitable use of the news
napers as an advertising medium,
both for local and for national ad-
vertising, will be considered IN a
round-table discussion, covering
three half-days at the annual world
convention of advertising, to be held
IN New Orleans, September Il TO
OK it was announced today at the
headquarters offices of the Associa-
ted Advertising clubs of the World.
At the sessions of the newspaper
department of the advertising conven-
ton, publishers of newspapers and
users of newspaper advertising space
will seek methods for making the
space of the newspapers OF still
greater value.
"The increase in the use of news
paper space by national advertisers, p"
saws a statement issued from the AS
ISOLATION headquarters, lis one Of the
most striking developments of the
times. Many national advertisers who
used no newspaper space only few
years ago, are now placing most of
their advertising appropriations
through newspapers, and they have
believed that this was especially val
liable by way of cooperating with
local retailers handling their goods.
Newspaper men and others attending
the newspaper department at the
September convention are interest
ed not only in ways for letting the
advertisers know the advantages of
using newspaper space, but are
equally concerned with any plan
which will make this advertising space
of greater value"
Walter G. Bryan, of the Georgian
American, Atlanta, as chairman OF
the newspaper department, has gen.
eral charge of the building of the
newspaper advertising program fol
the convention.
