Campfire Sparks

Wednesday evening. May ID.
was a red letter day" for Troop
IA, when six of our members APP
peared at an official Court Of Hon
or to receive the rank of Second
Glass Scout. These fellows, Dom
aid Morris, Richard Bash, Alfred
Butler, Melvin Ward, and Robert
Harris, were the first In the Troop
to complete their requirements and
we're promptly awarded new uni
forms by the Knights of the Round
Table. The ceremony was very
impressive, and our fellows made
fine appearance-an should be
an inspiration to the rest of our
Troop. Robert Harris with grade
Of 81, received the second highest
grade of all Second Class candid
ates at the Court 1913 being the
highest). We hope now that
Scouting is in our community to
stay.
This is the fifth of a series of
snapshots" of the men behind
our Troop.
Ernest White
Serving in the capacities of
Troop Committeeman, Troop Par
ent Club member, Better Boys
Council m m b er, Coordinating
Council member, YMCA branch
board member, would seem to in
dictate that this father of two
Scouts Is an earnest, enthusiastic
youth worker. Mr.. White, who
has been active in our behalf for
over a year, was one of those or
iginal three or four men who
struggled without help or public
ity to establish our Troop, until
others became aware of their eff
forts and offered to reinforce
them.
Three new Scouts We're added
to the Troop roster during thepast
three weeks. These boys were !:
Richard White, William Var
brough, and Freddy Morris.
Added to the list of Scout not
ables who have dropped in unex-
pectedly, to visit and express
pleasure with our progress, was
the name of Mr.. Scotty William
son, our District Commissioner,
who attended our last meeting.
The Troop Committee, Troop
Staff, and the Troop Parent Club
all seem to be quite busy preparing
the summer program.

Negro Business
Institute
What IL Advertising ?
ny Louis llypps

Advertising, In a very true sense,
Is the spreading of information
by means Of printed word and pie
ture.n The advertiser In merely
the person who uses these written
and printed words and pictures to
promote business or service. The
greatest difficulty the Negro In
business experiences today Ia
knowing when and where and how
to advertise, and how inch to
spend. Merely having a place of
business, In a good location and
beoing able to render desirable
service does not make a successful
business. He must realize that
business never comes to anyone,
anywhere, unlimited.
Advertising must be used to
keep shop name, location and
service identified and constantly
alive in the minds of new and old
customers. The modern business
man or woman does not need to
be told this. They are well aware
of the fact that advertising is
the most powerful force in the pro-
motion of a business or service
today. They know they must adj
vertise. They see great advertis-
ing successes among other musi-
ness firms and reason, that If 9TH
err business firms can increase
profits by advertising, they can
too. Their problem, therefore, is
not of shall I advertise 2" but,
rather, How can I advertise prof
itably?"
A better knowledge of what adj
vertising is-what advertising can
do-and what advertising is doing
for large and small businesses
alike is what theNegro in business
should know. This knowledge will
let down the bars for thousands
who never thought they could af-
ford to advertise, yet who need 1t
most. Advertising has built about
itself a glamour of bigness that
has scared off the little business
man. The business man with only
$40 or $40 a month to spend for
advertising, seldom starts because
he does not dare to start or, If
he dared, he does not know where
to start.
It Is well to remember, that the
spending of large sums of money
is not the answer. 1t is not how
much you spend but how you spend
it. Advertising to be successful
must have definite aim, purpose
and follow up. 1t must have a
theme that is purposeful and one
that will win the respect of the
people who read it. On the other
hand, advertising without defin-
lite plan and fo1low-up will prove
ineffective and costly. Next week
I will list 20 reasons why success
full business men advertise.

A year ago there was quite 4 bat

Something of the same sort is like
