"The brushing of garments is very
important because it removes eggs or
young larvae. Such material can then
be hung away in . clothes closets
which have been thoroughly cleaned,
and if necessary, sprayed with bene-
zine about the cracks of the floor and
the baseboards.
"If no other protection be given,
garments should be examined once a
month during summer, brushed and
exposed to sunlight"
DR.. Howard has adopted a plan for
his own personal use which he finds
satisfactory.
'.For a small sum 1 bought large
pasteboard boxes, such as tailors use"
he said. "In these I pack away all
winter clothing, cumming a strip of
wrapping paper around the edge so
as to seal up the box completely and
leave no cracks. With care, these box
es will last many years."
DR.. Howard recommends cold stor-
age, when cost does not enter into
question.

in: YOUR : HOME. PAPER

This article is presented and thoroughly in
dorsed by the Abbeville County Chamber of
Commerce. It was written by Mr.. John Preiss,
District Manager United Advertising Service
and it is so absolutely true that we feel we are
doing you a favor to call your attention to the
following: Please notice that in the heading of
this article it says "your'' home town paper.
It is "your' paper It is your famiys pa
per-your neighbors paper-your customers
paper your competitors paper-the paper
religious life of the very atmosphere you breathe
It stands for you and by you It sells your store
to your community-it sells your community to
the world.
Whether it needs your support or not, one
thing is certain-you need it's support--and an
other thing, just as certain, is that you are get
ting it's support. You may not advertise in it
you may not even subscribe for it-but every is
sue is helping to build up your business because
it building up the community in which you live.
1t is "your" paper.
Advertise in "your" paper because you
want people to buy your goods. When you first
went into business you asked people to come and
trade with you. If you did not ask them person
ally and directly you asked them indirectly.
You asked them by buying your goods and dis
tion every morning when you open your doors
for the days business
Advertising in "your' paper simply ex-
tends that invitation. You send your invitation
out to hundreds of people that you cannot posi-
bly, reach in any other way at one-hundredth
part of the cost.
Advertise in 'your" paper because 'your"
people read "your" paper. No other publica-
tons in the world are read with as deep interest
as are County papers, and the one outstanding
fact of advertising is that ''the interest of the
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-03-09

reader IN the>reading matter is what makes the
advertising valuable to the advertiser.
-: Advertise in 'your" paper because people
today, as never before, want to know what you
have to sell-and the price, They want to read
your store news, which is all your advertising is.
Advertise in "your" paper to keep business
at home The big city stores and the mail order
houses keep everlastingy at it and ifyou do not
tell the people about your goods and the prices
you can sell forthe business will go out of your
community.
Advertise in "your' paper because you can
advertise in it. If you can afford to pay rent and
clerk hire you can afford to advertise
And just as consistently and continuously
as you pay rent and clerk hire-Advertise
Probably one of the reasons why you have
not advertised as much as you would have done
is because you cannot readily write the Ads.
Just little thought will solve that problem.
Watch the big advertisements in the big city pa
pers Learn from the experts who are making
advertising pay how to tell your people about
your goods
Weave your story around your goods as
they weave their story around their goods. But
don't let it all be just a story. Give them facts
Give them facts and prices. And remember
that advertising will not always sell your goods.
1t will bring the customers to you if honest facts
are stated 1t is up to you to do the selling after
your advertising, which is your store news, plus
your invitation has brought the buyer to your
store.
In conclusion let me say that "your" paper
the County paper-is today the one medium
that carries the most direct appeal to the reader
with the smallest per cent. of waste circulation
in this broad land ' It is primarily the paper of
the home and it should be your aim to have your
advertising go with every issue of "your' paper
into the homes of your community.
Finally, advertise in 'your'' paper because
it will pay BIG.

CELEBRATED LECTURER
COMING TO MASON
Appears as the Fourth Number
Of the Lecture Course and the
Number Will Prove Pleasing.

Don't miss hearing Bob Briggs,
celebrated humorist and lecturer, who
will appear at Mason Friday even
ing, December 30th, as the fourth
number of the Mason District Lee
ture Course.
Bob Briggs is an entertainer and
he just can't help entertaining. He
lived in the south where the southern
colored gentlemen are thicker than
hair on dogs back and he has stud
led their fun and moods and few can
equal him in his representations of
the colored people.
Bob Briggs is not like the ordin-
airy lecturer who gathers most of
his lecturers from books, but the ma
terial which he uses is original with
himself.
Come and hear smiling Bob Briggs

Have a Fine Place of Business
Which Would be a Credit to
Places Much Larger than

the Mason State Bank have been busy

old quarters next to the Mason store
into the new bank building which has
just been completed and by the end
of the present week they expect to
be nicely settled in their new quar-

patrons and the people, of the sur
