A MAIL ORDER EXAMPLE
PENSACOLA Journal)


One Of the best illustrations Of the mail or
der" has come to light recently A woman living
in the small town of Bolton, s. c., in the center
Of the south's textile industry. ordered towels
from mail order house paying 20 cents each for
them. They seemed to be great bargain.
The money went from her town, and the towels
Icame back They were all that had been claimed
Tor them. On the band stamp, "made by
Blair Mills. Bolton, S. C. The woman's next door
aeighber ran the mills and she could have bought
he towels for $f.95 a dozen at home.
This is merely clear illustration Of the neces-
sity for town builders to look around before send
s1ng money away. It is also clear that merchants
ilI never get the business of their own neighbors
sunless they tell them that they have the goods.
Advertisement is the merchants chief warfare

EXPECT. BATTLE
BETWEEN COAST
LEAGUE HEADS
by United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-SiZ-
zling hot hostilities are expected to
be exchanged between Pacific
coast league magnates when they
hold their annual meeting November
- at Portland.
The expected battle cry will be
the proposal of Bill Lane, Of Seat
tie, that the season be split into two
parts next year, with a playoff at
the end Of the last half between the
| pennant winners OF the first and
second halves.
The proposition is considered Ger
tain to come to Il vote at the Port
land meeting. A rider may be
attached, giving the winner of the
playoff series bonus of $4,000.
The proposition is regarded to
have its drawbacks as well as adj
vantagcs.
Interest Jagged toward the end of
the season this year because it was
apparent six weeks before the close
that no club would Ovcrtakc Marty
krug's Angels. Last season a
similar situation existed, when the
Seals won the pennant hands down.
Splitting the season into two races
would make competition closer and
stimulate interest. The bonus
would keep both owners and PLAYERS
on the alert.
AS several magnatcs, including
Alf Putnam of the Seals and Bill
Mccarthy of the Mission, have ar
gucd, splitting the season would
make "a bush league out of a Class
IA league. No other circuit of the
same class employs the two-scason
scheme, they say.
Mccarthy and Putnam both have
said they will fight Lane S PROPOSE,
tion to the last ditch.
- You can see Lane 5 angle with
out field glasses, Putnam declared.
He is trying to make himself a big
fellow with a bonus proposition
after helping vote down the one our
club proposed i'll 1923 which had
been tried out with success the year
before. This bonus idea is sugar
coated pill to put the split season
over.
"'To make the split season palat-
able the league should determine
that its clubs should travel in fIiv-
vcrs, sleep in tents and do their
own uniform laundcring."
The split season would make the
league the laughing stock of the ma
tjon,' Mccarthy said, 18Th" split
season is only in effect in small
leagues with teams representing cit
les of 10000 or less population,
Discussion of the big league draft
Is expected TO come up with recon-
mcndations to Commissioner X. NJ.
Landis lodging the coast league s
protest as a result. Mccarthy is
one of the draft s opponents.
1t ISM fair he said. - For
instance, | purchased Ike Boone, my
siuggingcst infieldcr, from the BoS-
ton Red SoX for $500 and before
one season was over the Chicago
White Sox took him away from me
paying only $1,000, half of which |
won t get unless they decide to keep
lin.
