promotional policies. Buying COSTS
sales costs, rent, delivery and every other
expense connected with store operations
will automatically adjust itself as
a store improves its attitude on advertlS-
ing and more fully appreciates what ad-
vertising should be-and, what is more,
what it should not be.
This is so because, by more construc-
tive methods of building up a stores pres
tige and less flag-Waving tactics of price
sashing sales, the store is automatically
filled with customers more Thoroughly
sold on the store and its merchandise. 1t
means a store filled with more buyers and
less lockers, more customers with I'M
plicit faith and less doubling Thomases,
inevitably resulting in a gradually low
cred cost for handling the business all
along the line"
Verify, there must be new methods to
meet the new conditions. There must be
an elimination of waste-waste advertis-
ing as well as anything else. There must
be more turnovers- meaning more prot
it's. And naturally this means more ad-
yertising that sells, not advertising that
merely fills space or goes to non-buyers.
AS Jason Rogers says: Business cannot
stand the drain and waste Of throwing
money blindly at the map. Business can
not stand the drain of paying for unpro-
tluctive circulation-cir circulation at points
where there is little or no possible mar
ket.
No, this kind of advertising does not
move goods-does not ring cash regis
tiers. The very life Of a business hangs
this year more than ever in the kind Of
advertising it does.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-12-31

Z VERY business man knows we are IN
l. an entirely new merchandising era
that the trend Of retail merchandising
has swerved more OF less abruptly. He
knows also that to meet this change he
must acquire an entirely new perspec-
tive, must use new holds to grapple with
his business problems, if you please.
The retail establishment is no longer
aplace for the mere distribution OF goods.
Much more is required Of it. 1t has be-
come a 'highly pitched service institu-
ton" and with this condition has come
increased overhead, increased operating
costs. With inflated wartime prosper
ity, many stores adopted extravagant
and costly methods Of service and adver-
Using. But now, with the pendulum
swinging back, these overhead expenses
naturally must be cu1tailed, even though
the store must maintain its reputation
for service and courtesy.
Yes, the new era is going to be one Of
new merchandising methods yet It
m11st be one of constructive methods.
And that word constructive" relates
more to a stores publicity methods than
anything else. 1.-THE reducing Of the
overhead and the producing Of prestige
building influence depend more upon the
correct advertising attitude than is ap-
parent at first thought" said an exper-
fenced merchandise, recently. "Ihis is
true because advertising is the first point
of contact with the consumer. The reason
these problems are to be met now is be-
cause so many retailers have been work
ing along mistaken advertising and
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-12-31

So it is not question Of whether or
not Fairn1ont merchandisers shall adver-
tise It is a question Of what kind OF
advertising shall they use-Whether they
are actually after results or "just play
ing" To get results and to eliminate
waste advertising, they must concen-
trate-center their advertising so it will
blanket their natural trading territory
at ONE COST. And they CAN do this
by letting The West Virginian work for
them
Because in The West Virginian 95
per cent Of their advertisements are read
by folks who are in their trading zone
folks who can buy from then-and not
by folks outside the Fairmont trading
zone. And such productive circulation
cannot be obtained in any other publlca-
ton!
Because The West Virginian goes
into 1923 Of the 5000 homes in Fairmont.
Because the street sale of The West
Virginian is larger than the combined
street sales Of all other papers sold in
Fairmont!
Because The West Virginian goes
into homes in the evening, when folks
have time to read.
So in meeting the new merchandise
ing requirements of the New Year, get
off on the right foot-resolve to get &C
ton on every advertising dollar! Elimi-
nate waste advertising - unproductlve
circl1atiOn-bv concentrating in The
West Virginian, the only medium which
offers an opportunity to actually blanket
your trading territory!

A Talk With Faiy177ont Business Mesa
About the 1922 Outlook

is A CAPTAIN KIDD
ROWING SEAS AGAIN?
NOTE IN BOTTLE HINTS AT
MODERN PIRATE CREW.
SCHOONER CAPTURED.

NORFOLK, Va.-Is there a mod
ern Captain Kidd rowing the high
seas? Is there a twentieth century pi-
rate, with a fast oil-burning cruiser,
attacking and looting small ships and
carrying their crews away as capt1Ves?
1t seems almost fantastic.
Yet coast guard officers here have
Just received a message taken from a
bottle that had drifted up on the coast
near Buxton, N. c., that may give
some clew as to the fate Of the crew
OF the schooner Carroll A. Deering,
"the mystery ship of Diamond Shoals"
"Deering captured by an oil-burning
boat. No chance to escape"
Such was the startling nature OF the
message, or as much OF it as could be
deciphered. 1t was forwarded here by
Christopher c. Gray, OF Buxton, who
said he had taken it from a bottle wash
ed up just north of Cape Hatteras
Schooner on Shoal, Crew Gone.
The Deering, a hve-masted schoon-
er, stanchly built, sailed proudly out
of a South American port one day ear
y in the winter On board were Cap
tain Wormell, of Boston, and a crew
of twelve. They were mostly true New
England salts" Injured to the hard
ships Of life on a sailing ship and all
capable seafarers.
Then, on a January morning, OBJ
servers on shore glimpsed a vessel
stuck fast on the outermOst OF the D1a-
mond Shoals. Every sail was set, but
there was not a sign of life on board.
The captain and crew had vanished
utterly. For some time the hope was
held out that they had been picked
up by a passing ship and would be
landed at some port. So tar, however,
there has been no trace OF them and
the message received here only deep
ems the mystery of their disappearance
while giving an mixing OF its cause.
Left to the Shifting Sands.
The mystery Of the Deering was a
mine DAYS wonder" among the inhab-
| itants of the Carolina shore Nothing
was done, however to pull the schOOn-
cr from its bed and it gradually dis
appeared in the shifting sands, the
resting place of other ships.
The strange message has aroused all
manner Of speculation. Who should
want to raid the schooner and carry
iaWay the crew? The question seems
unanswerable, unless it be piracy. Oh
hcals refused to express an opinion as
to the genuineness Of the message. 1t
was unsigned and written in ink and
read as follows:
! "Deering captured by oil-burning
craft Something like chaser. Taking
off everything. -cuffing probably
handcuffing) crew Crew hiding all
over ship. No chance to make escape.
Finder please notify (undeciphera-
ble)--qts OF Deering -(word miss

In Memory of
Dorothy Idelle Reneau

Far away from sorrowing parents,
Meath the orange blossom bowers,
Dorothy Idelle is sweetly sleeping
In the sun-kissed Land of Flowers.
Der her grave the moss is waving
Among the branches of the trees,
And the flowers are gently swaying
In the soft and balmy breeze.
The hooking birds are singing
Round their new and happy nest,
And it makes the spot seem sweeter
Where we've lain our doll to rest;
Loving hands have taken flowers,
Gently placed them on her mound,
And the fragrant Oleander
Now perfume the air around.
How we miss our precious loved one,
How we miss her little voice;
But if we meet her up in heaven
Then we know we'll all rejoice.
Oh! how sweet will be that meeting,
Oh, what JOY and peaceful bliss,
Just to hold again my darling
And on her lips imprint a kiss.
She was always kind and loving,
And oh so beautiful and sweet,
And we miss the patter, patter
Of her precious little feet.
She was the sunshine OF our lives,
An angel to us given;
Just as we learned to love her most
God called her home to heaven.
There is one great consolation,
We know she died while free from
sin,
And is now asleep in Jesus,
Where no sin can enter in.
Her little hands are ever reckoning,
Reckoning us to life above,
When with her We'll be EMBODIED
In our Savior's blessed love.
She is gone, our precious darling,
Never more we'll see her face,
But we'll meet her over the river
In that happy dwelling place
Ocala, Fla. DOROTHY BEAM.
