IMPORTANT MARKET

1t is well known that man.
aifacturers of products sold
ON a national scale have di-
Teeted the m a .io r part of
their selling efforts toward
large city markets.
We have often wondered
why these sellers organize
their advertising campaigns
almost exclusively in large
cities. Very often they use
every daily newspaper in a
large city. thus inevitably
duplicating their sales eff
fort, without taking into
consideration the vast mar
ket that offers profits in the
small to WINS and cities
throughout the nation.
The Importance of this
market is emphasized by
8 s.. =.
Arch L. Thiele, who says
that a survey sponsored by
Pathfinder Magazine, re-
vealed that towns of less
than 5000 population, rep
resenting only ten per cent
of the couiftry's total do %
per cent of the nations BUSH
ness.
Mr.. Thiele points out that
60 per cent of the population
of this country lives in cities
under $4,000 and on farms.
He says that 40 per cent of
the $42,000,000, 1000 worth
of retail sales in 1880 came
from towns under this size.

Your Horoscope
SaturdaY. AUG. 3rd

The person born today is firm,
steadfast and sure; the nature is
diplomatic and calculating, and
carries considerable success in
several lines of effort. There is a
strong tendency to worry over
business matters, and under GER
danger that the hopes will not
bear fruit, on account Of this.
Sunday. Aug. 4th
Today's degree bestows broad
views and wide sympathies; with
a proper mixture of favoring as
poets this day might produce a
great teacher in some unusual
line. There is love of friends,
which is not likely to be appre-
ciated by them. Seek to curb the
desires for sensuous pleasures;
there is indication of trouble from
abdominal ills.

HOURLY AND WEEKLY
WAGES

The average hourly earn
ings of factory workers hit
a high of SLOT in May and
CLIMBED to an estimated new
high of $1.08 in June, ac-
cording to the Labor De-
partment's Bureau Of Labor
Statistics.
This news will be spread
around the country by those
interested in persuading the
people to believe that fac
tory workers are getting.
more money than ever be-
fore. This will be erroneous,
because the same report re-
veals that weekly earnings
in June were forty-one
cents under May because of
the shorter work week in
virtually all, industries.
!. 1t is perfectly natural for
employers to stress facts
which support their conten-
tons in connection with la
bor' disputes and for labor
leaders to emphasize the
facts which support their
demands for more pay. How
ever, the side line citizen, not
involved as an employer or
an employe in a. dispute,
should be sure to secure all
the facts before reaching a
conclusion in connection
with such disturbances.

Colonial Inn, along U. S. Route 40

his ship at the Cumberland Municipal

Cumberland airport, said the mishap
occurred about p. m. and was of a
minor nature. He declared no one
was injured, and the plane was re-
turned to Cumberland for repairs.
