Back Business at Fair.
A branch bank at q county fairi 1t
seems like funny idea, does 1t not?
What need is there for a bank at a
place where every one who goes has
all the spare cash he expects to spend
in his pocket, and where small change
is abundant with everybody who is
doing business? That is the question
that would naturally arise in the mind
Of the average layman. But there IS
more TO 1t than that On hearing
that the peoples National bank OF
Rock Hill had a branch bank in an auI
tomobile ut the fair, Views and Inter-
views took occasion to Investigate,

Views stood around little while and
watched. Some people came fr

bought New York Exchange. AS to
whether there was any money loaned.
Views and Interviews did not learn;
but numerous checks were cashed,
and altogether the bang proved quite
a convenience to many people.
Enquirer Was ip Demand.
The Courtney Tractor company OF
Yorkville, made quite hit with its
idea Of giving away copies of The
Yorbville Enquirer at the York County
Fair. Mr.. Courtneys main idea of
course was to get the testimony of
pleased owners of Fordson outfits be-
fore as many people as possible, and
not being able to get his advertise

time for distribution, he Just bought
papers. He was told in advance that
he could hardly distribute that many
papers to fair crowd in day; but
he said he would take chances on
that, and as a matter Of fact he came
out all right. 1t was not but little
while after he got the papers to his
booth, and people knew they were to
be had, that calls were numerous. Many
subscribers who had left home before
the arrival of their Enquirer got papers
from him and several hundred others
two copies. It was quite common to
see men walking about the grounds
with papers in their pockets. and oc-
casionally a man or woman could be
seen reading their paper. j. Dickson
Leslie, who was exhibiting the Re-
public truck in three sizes in a booth
Just across from the Courtney tractor
booth said to Views and Interviews:
81 got my paper this morning and
brought it out here with certainty
that I would be able to give it to
somebody who would be pleased to read
It and pass it on. 1t turned out as
expected. There was no trouble in
finding somebody who wanted 1t, and
tell you that Mr.. Courtney's place
has been mighty popular today"
