Which is probably the reason so
many grocery catalogues are food
ing Darbourville and Knox County
We have wholesale groceries and re-
tail groceries here which look upon
advertising as a fearful waste of
money. They are unanimous in not
advertising.
There is no objection to boosting
home buying, OF course, newspapers
being run by a sentimental lot Of
chumps who do not know any better
than to try and run a newspaper in
a city where the grocers in effect tell
them they and the paper they pub
lish do not amount to a hill OF
beans.
BUT-There are firms outside of
Barbourville and Knox County that
do know the value of advertising in
the local newspaper. We could get
page of Sears-Roebuck grocery ad-
vertising any time we asked for it.
Not long ago We turned down four
pages of advertising from a nearby
city. WHY? Just loyalty to the home
town.
Loyalty? Do we get it from the
grocers. wholesale or retail? We do
not. --RESULT-Mail order busi-
ness continually increases. WHY?
Because Of a short sighted policy
which strains at a gnat and swal-
lows a camel.

afternoon was a half holiday for
Miller Brothers employees.
The route to the postosfice took
her past H~ecksteeth's store, and
with i%nquisitiye eyes she surveyed

But no, there could be no vision
