BUILDING CONFIDENCE.

When you patronize a merchant who
practices honesty in his advertising
and always sells the quality he offers
through his printed announcements,
you acquire confidence in him and his
goods.
You accept his word as truth. You
know that when he says he is going
to sell dollar values at half price you
can buy full dollars worth for fifty
cents
And you feel that you can go to his
store at any time and be assured of
honest treatment, honest values and
honest prices.
Good advertising in its fullest sense
can give any merchant the reputation
of being ION the square" On the
other hand, advertising with only an
occasional n,,ie untruth can often
undermine the reputation Of dealer
to such an extent that you become sus-
plciOus and question every statement
he makes thereafter.
Advertising that tends to build con-
fldence is mighty and valuable in
strument in the hands of the progress
sive merchant. 1t Is the means Of
nourishing HIS business and making 1t
grow to the limit Of Its capacity.

Something Needs to be Done

We do not like to criticise
but then, too, sometimes {
little something has to be said,
so here goes.
Several years ago the people
of the city. that is some of them
decided that we should have
better service. and more ofnit
from the power plant. Accord
ingly petition.after petition was
circulated cipg for a day eur
rent. At last the powers that
were, decided 10 let the matter
of improving the plant dome to
"a vote. For 1T was manifestIy
impossible 70 give the desired
service with the equipment then
in use. An election was ordered
and the voters. by a substantial
majority, directed that the i'm.
,provements be made.
In pursuance thereof another
deep well was sunk. a new
compressor installed. some new
pumps purchased, two complete
three phase electric generators
put into service. and other need
ed improvements made.
When this was all done, OF
nearly so. the city went into the
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1920-03-04

merchantile business and sold
all manner of equipment to the
patrons of the plant, with the
assurance that we had power
sufficient for every need to
which electricity would likely be
pat to work at, and that there
was no more danger of over
loading the plant. The people
bought equipment, and every
thing went well for a time.
There was little or no grumb-
ling. The price of service was
put up and still most people
seemed satisfied.
This state of aft airs continued
until some four months ago,
when coal shortage occurred,
and it seemed necessary to con-
serve the supply. The authori-
ties cut down the service, and
have never put it back on with
anything like the efficiency that
existed before. In fact the
service is simply bum. The
lights, most Of the time, look like
80 many firefiies and the amount
of Juice" turned on the motor
curcuits is sufficient to keep
them turning except when they
pull it off entirely to get up
steam" The pressure on the
water pipes is kept so low that
it often happens that the water
will not run out at some bibs
at all.
Were a fire to start at such a
time and the steam were as low
as we have sometimes been ad-
vised that it was, practically the
whole section in the neighbor-
hood would go up in flames.
Now, we have enquired of
and complained to every official
and employee of the city who
we thought might be in posses
sion of information as to the
,ause of this poor service and
able to apply the remedy. But
not one thing can we learn, for
40 one seems to know. And it
gets no better still. F."
If we have a lot of incompe-
ents at the head of affairs. it is
ne to make a change and get
ONE one who knows how and
will do the needed to give service.
If, on the other hand, this SER
vice is given US as matter of
economy, we want to say that it
is mighty poor economy" and
We are not the only individual
Who thinks this way about it by
Tong sight"
Should the powers that be, or
my of them, have any explana-
ton to give or defense to offer
for existing condition, we want
to inform them that the way is
RELY open. Either give US the
ervice as voted by the people or
tell US the reason why you do
not.
