ANOTHER ANGLE
T OSCIENTIFIC
SALESMANSHIP

Two fifths of the hairdressers,
whos doh up" the heads of Ameri-
can women, are men. It'll be just a
matter of time until men will mon
opolize all the jobs in this line OF
work. So predicts A. J. Auer-
bach, Salt Lake City hair dresser.
He says: "a man can dress two
heads to a woman's one and do it
better"
Auerbach advances the unique
theory that in a few years the
stores that cater to women will en-
ploy only men clerks, and the wo-
men clerks will shift to mems
clothing stores.
"The idea," he explains, SIS that
a man knows best what looks good
on a woman, and vice versa"
The increasing tendency, of hav-
ing good looking girls behind the
counter to wait on men customers,
has been noticed by all of us. It's
part Of so-calIed scientific sales
manship.
A pretty girl clerk has the hypno-
tic power to SELL the average man
neckties, for instance, that he'd
never think of buying from a man
cerk. Man is very subject to flat
tery-quick to believe any compli-
ment from the opposite sex.
The difficulty is that when he
comes out of his trance he is not
likely to return to the place where
he bought flattery instead of a
really becoming necktie.
AS for men eventually monopol-
izing the sales jobs in stores cater
ing to women, we doubt it. Women
in the matter of clothing, are not
as susceptible to flattery from the
opposite sex as are men. Maybe
they dress to attract men, but
we've noticed that the average wo-
man would rather get a compli-
ment about her new gown or has
from one woman than several men.

For the smaller sky scrapers, the
land or site is usually worth more

generally worth a quarter as much

SHOOTING

About as million dollars worth
of. firearms and ammunition were
manufactured in our country in
1921, according to a census report.
This ye&r, probably more. The fig
uree doesn't include the product of
government establishments. It's the
wholesale value, so the public pays
considerably more for. killing in
sturments.
Not much wonder there are as
many murders and other crimes of
VIOLENCE, considering the millions

EDITO RIAL
COMMENT
ALL in FAVOR HOLD UP YOUR
HANDS

llfGiNbOs
The debt paying era is draw
ing near in this north Georgia
section. When cotton begins to
move its time to begin to pay
debts. 1t has always been said of
the Primitive Baptists that they
pay their debts. It's a mighty
fine characteristic. It's well wortf
while to have the reputation of
being a debt payer. When one
has the contrary reputation, he
is a bad row for stumps. Many
an honest man obtains credit
not so much on his assets, as on
his reputation as an honest man
and debt payer. 1t is wonderful
how fast a dollar can travel and
how many debts it can pay in a
short time if kept on the go. We
have seen it demonstrated. In a
company of q half of dozen men
one day, one of the party pulled
out a dollar and handed it to
another saying: Here the dollar
owe you" 1t was handed at
once to another member of the
party on dollar debt. That same
dollar passed all around and
every one of the party handled it
once, some twice before it finally
found a permanent lodging. This
serves to illustrate the debt pay
ing ability Of al greenback dollar.
1t has paying power, if kept in
action. When not in action it
has no more value than oak leaf.
A few weeks ago a business firm,
to which the News is indebted.
in sending a statement sent with
it the following:
IF you owe q man and pay a
man
As soon as the bill is due,
And, the other man pays anoth
er man
The money he got from you
linen the money paid will
lend its aid
In settling bills galore.
And will soon return as you'll
quickly learn
That's few bills more. !"
That's might good gospel. If
everybody will adopt this policy,
there will be thousands and thous
ands of dollars that will change
hands within the next few
months.
There is nothing purely sell
this to us, that induced us to
write this little editorial. Our
readers do not owe US anything.
Every subscriber who reads this
Is paid in advance. And yet
general debt paying era will be
of advantage to the News. Start
that dollar on its rounds and
er long it viii drop in at the
News office. And when it does,
We herby give assurance that it
will not be sailed Down for keeps
We will instantly start it out on
its glorious mission of debt pay
ing. We move here and now that
everybody agrees to join the
debt paying band. All in favor
