Don't Be Fooled

(EOOL me once" says the proverb,
"and it's shame on you. Fool me
twice and it's shame on me-"
Don't be fooled when it comes to spending
your money. Patronize the merchants who
have reputation for fair dealing and hon.
esty. Such motives must actuate the con-
sistent advertiser. The man who invests
real money in building up reputation for
himself and his merchandise cannot afford
to risk any of it by taking unfair advantage
of his patrons.
The consistent advertiser pays money to tell
you about his goods. He knows they are
good-he backs them with his money be-
cause he believes they will satisfy. Only
merchandise which is consistently good can
be consistently advertised
So advertising protects you against fraud
and inferiority. 1t tells you what is new and
good, making you wise buyer. 1t saves
YOU money by pointing out for your con-
sideration only the best products and the
best places to buy them.
Thrifty men and women read the advertise
ments. TO them it is plain everyday busi-
ness proposition duty they owe to them
selves and to their pocketbooks.
Don't be fooled.
The Washington herald., 1922-07-30

Don't spend your money blindly.

berS to Protest Change.
New Territory Reason

1t developed yesterday. through
the office of o. L. Bum, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, that
the Barrett company is planning to
move its sales office from Birming-
ham to Atlanta. No date for the re-
moval has been set, but Mr.. Bum
states that, in view of communica-
tons between him and the general
sales office of the firm. in New York,
and an interview between him and
Douglas G. Adair. southern sales
manager, yesterday. he believes that
the change has been decided upon
by the Barrett company

night tdE members of the Chamber of
ConnsSfee, urging them to write the

PROTESTING against the removal of the
southern sales office from Birming
Mr.. Adair, local sales manager.
stated yesterday that the move had
definitely. been decided upon by the
Barrett company. He said that such
a change had been under considera-
tom for some time, and that indicH
lions now are that 1t will be made.
Circumstances might intervene, how
ever, he said, which would cause the
company to change its program.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Adair
for the removal of the sales depart
ment is that the company has recent
ly addedaterritory to the southern di-
vision, which has formerly been
handled through the Philadelphia Of
flee, and that Atlanta is the geo.
graphical center of the new terri
tory South Carolina, East Georgia
and Florida constitute the addition
to the southern territory, according
to Mr.. Adair.
Intimation of the proposed change
was received at the office of the sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce
ten days ago, and he sent tele-
gram to John B. Yoke, general sales
manager, New York, asking him If
the rumor were true and IL so, why
the company was contemplating such
a move. Mr.. Bum states that he
received an evasive reply in which
the sa1es manager said that the COM
panYxdidg not have any idea of NOV
ing its factory" from Birmingham
A subsequent letter from the New
York office, Mr.. Bum states, in
formed him that conditions had de-
veloped which required that "a few
men of the sales department" should
be transferred to Atlanta.

Proposed Change in Bylaws
Provide For Division of
Interests

Indications yesterday were that the
referendum to change the bylaws Of
the Chamber of Commerce will result
in a decision in favor OF the change,
according to o. L. Bum, secretary.
Inquiries we're sent to about 1900
members of the Chamber of Com
merce few days ago by Mr.. Bum,
and he had yesterday received about
$50 replies. OF this number moro
than 500 were in favor of the change.
The referendum will be continued I'M
til October 10. Mr.. Bum stated, and
he expressed the hope that all men,
bers who had not yet sent in their
opinion would do so at once. He
stated that he hoped to have an ex-
preston from every member.
The changes in the by laws provide
for reorganization OF the Chamber of
Commerce, 1t being provided that
there shall be divisions for each of
the various interests represented.
These divisions shall, in turn, be rep
resented on an executive committee,
which viii be the governing body.
The new plan, it is urged, is more
democratic and more efficient than
the present one.
