Mr.. BUSINESS MAN-USE
YOUR HOME TOWN PAPER

A slick guy with a smooth line
of talk, creased hair, pressed pants
and a big card printed in three
cOlors seems to be an excellent
combination to separate business
houses from three to ten dollars
for box space on pastboard card
after the aforementioned slick guy
tells you is advertising. Don't be-
lieve it. It's charity. He has no
interest in your community or your
business. His sole and only inter
est is your money and you will
find him perfectly willing to add one
lie to another to enlist your interest
for he will not see you again after
he has cleaned up on the town and
taken the train out.
Sometimes it is a thingamajig
that he is going to hang on every
telephone in the county, some times
it is a hotel directory and other
times it may be some new Walling-
ford folderol that will gain the
attention of even the more conser-
vative business men. They have an
excellent line of talk, these fell
lows. They have to have, for that's
what they live on. Ever hear of
a business man who had to en-
large his store or of a town that
doubled its trade territory as
result of this kind of advertising?
never did and | do not believe
that one of the slick guys dideither.
But / know of several towns that
have made phenomenal progress and
of thousands of others that are be-
ing boosted as a result of advertising
through the home town paper And
they keep on boosting whether you
advertise in it or not. Did you
ever stop to think of the number of
editors of home town papers that
are giving their life's work to print
ing the interesting things and ev-
GRADY happenings that bind the
community spirit and interest and
creates spirit of loyalty and de-
votion to the home town that holds
support and brings business to your
doors. And that fool editor keeps
right on doing it whether you put
your advertisement in the paper or
not.
Why? Because it is his business
to grind out paper that people
want to read. And they read it
whether your ad appears or not. If
your ad is not there, they will read
some one else's ad
Got all the business you can ham
dle-don't need to advertise? Don't
fool yourself. One of the big pack
ing companies spend 100000 a
year just to keeps its name be-
fore the public. They have more
business than they can handle now
but they know that if they with

his schemes, it is time for the BUSH
ness men to call halt"
The interesting thing in this item
is that the editor was not "beef-
ing" about not getting the advertis-
ing himself. He probably has not
got all the advertising he could take
care of either. If the business men
wanted to waste their advertising
funds on a game as old as the gold
brick and three monte game, he is
willing to let them live and learn
but he does not want to see his
churches swindled.
Human nature is complex, puz-
zling thing after ALL That editor
of the Cotton Plant Democrat would
be branded by his home town peo-
pie as a traitor to his community
if he bought his clothing and gro
ceries of a mail order house and
did his banking in another town.
And yet, the sick guy who calls his
pretty cards advertising fills them
up from bottom to top. And the

draw their advertising that it would
not be long until they had less than
they could handle. All of which
is by way of endorsing a little item
that appeared in the "Cotton Plant
Democrat" a short time ago:
"A real slick pull the cork under
advertising slicker was in the city
Monday working a church direc-
tory scheme" says the editor of the
Cotton Plant Democrat. "The last
we saw of him he wanted a sheet
of red cardboard to map out a
state hotel directory on. He said
that it was a little hard to get it
started here, but after he got the
bank and a few others, the rest of
them were easy. He had us figure
on the printing but said our prices
were too high although he admitted
that our price was about right. He
said he was going to take the
work over into another county
where there were eight papers, all
starving to death and did work
cheap. When a schemer of this
kind comes along, using the churches
both white and colored, to promote

The production of long staple

because his observations show that
when such varieties are grown on

than the short staple variety, but
the yield is not likely to be as high.
