CANDY KID HAS
NEW CHANGE
BY International News Service


BALTIMORE, July 22.-Richard
Reese Whittemore, the Candy Kid
bandit, is to have one more chance
to escape the moose. It is a forlorn
chance at best, but with the gallows
grinning but three weeks away a
chance is a chance.
Governor Richie notified White
more's attorney, Edgar Allen Poe,
today that he would receive him
next Tuesday afternoon to present
a petition for executive clemeny
and hear arguments as to why
Whittemore's sentence to death
should be committed to life i'm
prisonment.
The Governor. however. rarely
interferes with case once it has
been confirmed by all the State
courts, as in Whittemore's case.
The expectation is that the

minutes past midnight on Friday,
August IS.
Isaac Benson, negro, who killed
his sweetheart, will hang from the
same gallows early tomorrow morn

mand for it's goods the only con-
cern of manufacturing institution
of this kind is to make stuff as
cheaply as possible in order to OBJ

Same Price World Over
These facts are chiefly response
BILE for the generally prevailing
idea that the home merchants do
not sell goods as cheaply as the
mail order house They do sell
the same quality of goods that the
mail order house sells as cheaply
as the mail order house sells it but
they cannot sell the standard, guar
anteed products of responsible man
ufacturers at the same price at
which the mail order house sells
it's nameless, unbranded merchan-
disc. Standard goods bearing a
registered trademark sell for the
same price the world over and the
manufacturers guarantee stands
back of them when they are sold
in the smallest village in the coun-
try just the same as when they are
sold in the stores of the largest
cities.
This is what the national adver-
tising of the manufacturers has
done for the consumers of the
country. 1t has enabled them to
go into their home stores and buy
merchandise which they know from
past experiences or from the rep
utation and guarantee of the manu-
facturer will give them satisfactio
They are not buying blindly and
hopefully when they buy from the
merchants in their home towns.
They are buying with the knowl-
edge that they are getting their
moneys worth. When they buy ad-
vertised brands they are getting
double protection, that which is af-
forded by the responsibility of the
retail merchant and that which is
given by the reputation and guar
antee of the manufacturer. When
they buy the unknown brands Of
goods that are offered by the mail
order houses they are getting neith-
er kind of protection.

BUYER PROTECTED
BY ADVERTISING
Manufacturer Must Main
tain Quality of Goods
Bearing His Name
His Reputation at Stake
Nan Who Buys Standard Brands
From Local Merchants Knows
That He is Getting Full
Value For His Money

Time was when advertising did
not occupy the place in the world
of trade that it does today 1t
has not been so very many years
ago that the people were suspicious
of advertising. They were inclln-
ed to believe that the merchant
was trying to fool" them with his
advertising, that he exaggerated
the values of the merchandise he
advertised and took that method
of trying to get them to buy goods
that he could not sell by the old
established methods of merchandis
ing.
Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that it is the greatest
beneficiary of advertising.
Advertising has done more in a
decade to establish certain stand
ards in merchandise than could
have been accomplished in hun
dred years by any other agency.
The manufacturer who a few years
ago merely made and sold clothes
now makes and sells the Blank
brand of clothes. The man who
formerly just made hats now makes
Blanks hats. And so it is with
everything that one buys today. The
manufacturer, by his advertising,
has built up his business around
a trade name and if he is to con-
tinue in business he must protect
that trade name by maintaining
such a high standard of quality
that people, when they buy his pro-
ducts will know just what they are
getting The consumer, when he
goes into store today, does not
buy merchandise blindly, with the
HOPE that it will prove to be
worth the money. He buys stan
dard goods that bear the trade
mark of the manufacturer and that
are backed by the reputation not
only by the manufacturer who
makes them. This has been brought
about by advertising
No Reputation to Protect
All this applies to the retail mer-
chants as class but it does not
apply to the mail order business.
The man or woman who buys goods
from a catalogue house is not pro-
tected by the manufacturer of the
goods for the reason that most
manufacturers who sell goods to
the mail order houses do not place
their names upon the goods and
therefore have no reputation to pro-
tect.
The great majority of articles
listed and illustrated in the mail
order catalogues are included in
what is known amonk manufactur-
ers as stencil" stuff These arti-
cles bear the name of the mail or
der house which sells them instead
of that of the manufacturer who
makes them. 1t can readily be un-
derstood that any manufacturing g
concern which turns out goods that
do not bear it's name or trademark
is likely to be a very unreliable
institution. 1t is not building up
any reputation on the quality of it's
goods for its products have moth
ing to distinguish them from the
products of any other concern. With
no reputation to sustain and no
chance of creating a general de-

Shot out their differences with auto

boots on.
A quarrel that ebbed and flared for
more than year between w. 8.
Reed. 65 years old. and his farm ten
ant, J. p. Ware, 20. is said to have
precipitated the shooting. The men
lived at Camp Springs, 35 miles north
of here. and the shooting occurred
near their homes.
Witnesses could not hear the heat
ed argument as the men squared off
a few feet from each other. and Ware
suddenly raised his gun and fired the
first shot. Reed, wounded, leveled
his own weapon and loosed a volley.
Neither lived more than an hour.
Neighbors Of the pair said the
shooting apparently was caused by an
old trouble concerning operation of
Reeds farm by Ware. Reed, a typi-
cal farmer of midwest Texas. was
known to all the oldtimers. Ware was
a newcomer. who had rented Reed 8
