BIG STOCKS. MODERATELY
A.. PRICED NOW ON DISPLAY

We !, spent several hours in
Sharon Monday afternoon and
found Sharon merchants quite opti-
mistic. We also found that each
has big stock of the very latest
and most, up-to-date goods and all
moderately priced. One merchant,
Geo. Lackey, showed us o shoe that
he is now selling at Sc, whereas last
fall he had to ask $40 for the same
shoe. Geo. Beard showed US some
druggets he is selling for half
what they brought a few months
ago, and Charlie Brooks showed US
a full line of boys and mems caps.
In fact, all Sharon merchants are
we'll stocked and are offering spe-
cial inducements.

FARMING IN ENGLAND
DOES NOT PAY

LONDON, Nov. 28-S. F. Edge
the well-known motorist whose
scientific farming in Sussex have
given him almost equal rank as
an ag1iculturist, says that under
present conditions farming in Eng
land does not pay.
He has offered to turn over to a
committee of his farm workers
farms worth 10000 pounds and,
leaving their management entirely
in their hands to see if they can
make them pay.
"This year." he says, "the aver
age farmer lost money. Faced by a
falling market he has had to pay
wages out of capital. Thus gaz-
ers have been losing from 10
pounds to Is pounds per head of
stock. Actually this year it pays
me better to feed my stock on
wheat than to sell the wheat.
After keeping his sheep for two
years the farmer gets a shilling
a pound for the mutton which the
butcher sells for rs Sd a pound,
making his $50 per cent profit in
a week. On most farming land !
can today only trace a profit on
pigs.

There's no guesswork in that
statement as made by an official

makers of farm implements. I'VE
know it because we make investi-
cations, he declares in Printers
Ink. And he gives figures.
The company is one of those
which outlines ADVERTISING cam
paigns for its dealers. A recent
inquiry among 1900 of its local
REPRESENTATIVES showed the aver
age annual sales to be as follows:
Dealers who advertise $50 029
Dealers who don't 9,424
Quite a difference!
And a convincing one. Because
here we have an inquiry that con-
Germs dealers of the same class,
handling identical goods, scattered
all over the continent. Purely To-
cal conditions do not greatly af-
feet the average.
And the average shows that ad-
vertising multiplied sales by four.
The slight additional OUTLAW of
those dealers who added publicity
to their sales efforts boosted their
totals from less than $4,000 to
more than $4,000.
1t is said to assume that, on
the average, the overhead expens-
es of the non-advertisers were
about the same as those of the
advertises. Yet by means of
printed publicity they were able to
spread those charges over four
times as much trade.
1t is not often that more scien-
tific demonstration of the cash
value of advertising is offered
than this.
If you are hankering for more
trade-for four times as much
trade as you now have-the figures
of the Advance-Rumley company
are worth studying.
They suggest to non-advertisers
that u fresh outlook on the whole
subject OF how to do business is
IN order. Our advertising depart
ment is at YOUR service.
