HOW ADVERTISING PAYS

One can hardly seriously discuss
the advantages of advertising nova
days. The familiar question, in years
gone by, has been seen in newspapers
Does advertising pay?" The only
way to put 1t now is-"Does it pay
TO try to do business without adver-
tising?'
The practical man who thinks of the
question at all will first ask himself
what is an advertisement And he
will probably answer that an adver-
tisement is an editorial written by the
merchant, banker, broker or any in
dividual or concern having some mes
sage for the public. II the advertiser
is a merchant he tells the people his
name, where he is located, his tele-
phone number and the kind Of goods
he wishes to sell. To stimulate these
4 sales he describes the goods to some
extent and invites inspection Of his
store.
There is no deception about this
method Of reaching the people Read
ers know the statements are adver-
tisements paid for by the advertisers,
yet this TACT does not detract from
their Importance. 1t is the most le-
ultimate and natural thing which one
can do, this advertising to reach the
4 public. eye.
Advantages derived by the modern
advertiser are many fold, but one is
! particularly outstanding. His mes
sage Is set in type, printed and circu
4 lated by, departments Of the newspa'

II Of his paper to pay for II. and he
reads the paper-generally advertise
mants and all.
Merchant princes who have sue

potency Of advertising So, also, the

Since the open letter of Supt. L

published on page 2 of this issue OF
the Leader, the following reply has
been received from State Senator A.
A. Cohn:-
Senate Chamber, Jackson, Miss
Professor L. Russell Ellzey,
Brookhaven, Miss.
My dear Professor
l desire to acknowledge receipt OF
your kind letter of the goth instant
relative to the present short term OF
the public schools in Lincoln county
1t shall be my purpose to use my
every effort to raise the standard of
teachers, increase their salaries and
lengthen the school terms. A per-
petuation of our republican govern
ment depends upon the education of
all of our people and not the educa-
ton of a few peoples. Long school
terms, good teachers and better sal
aries for the teachers would do
much to make our pretended demo-
cracy real and lasting.
Assuring you that l shall appre-
ciate your cooperation, as we'll as
the cooperation of every citizen In
the district, l am,
Sincerely yours,

The Leader quotes the following
for the information of our people:-
"The Government has no intention
of disturbing, nor does it desire to
disturb legitimate business. 1t is
perfectly willing for the dealer to
have fair margin of profit on the
actual cost of his merchandise, but
that margin of profit must be reas-
enable.
e'It is the desire of the, Commission
err that the reduction in prices be
made voluntarily but if upon inves-
tigation by your committee you find
or have reason to believe that mer-
chant is charging an unreasonable
profit on his merchandise you can
ask him to reduce same to meet with
the views of your committee and if
necessary or der him to produce his
invoices. Your Committee is author
lied to fix TIE maximum price to be
charged for necessities, allowing the
merchant reasonable profit, and
after you ha We done this and the mer-
chant still demands the unreasonable
profit, you will notify this office CIV
ing such data as you have gathered.
It is requested that after your COM
mittee has made an investigation of
prices, that you report the result of
same to the Fair Price Commission
er who will give you all necessary
assistance in Reducing the High Cost
of Living"
