the SMALL-TOWN MERCHANT AND
ADVERTISING
Until recently the average mer-
chant in the towns and smaller
cities has thought that money spent
in advertising was an investment of
d:iubtful profit. Everybody in the
community, the territory from
which his trade must come, already
knew he was in business, knew
what sort of goods he sold and on
what terms. If he did any adver-
tising at all it was a kind of gener-
al announcement in the spring, and
again in the fall, that he was still
"dcing the same kind of business at
the same old stand."
But a few progressive spirits in
very recent years have become
alive to the fact that the small-
town merchant can use advertising
space to advantage. In fact, many
of them are doing it, and their num-
ber is increasing. I know of one
dry-goods firm in a town of 4,000
people that plans each year to
spend from $1,000 to SI,200 in ad-
vertising- a sum equal, if not
greater than, the salary of any one
of their salesmen. Their manager
considers his advertising sp.i"e his
most efficient salesman, and his ad-
vertisements each week are prepar-
ed with rare care and judgment.
For $20 or *25 a month any mer-
chant in a small town can use half
a page in his local paper, or a quar-
ter-page in proporation. and change
his advertisement each week. He
can thus, with no great expense,
send into a thousand homes in his
trade territory each week a convinc-
ing, business-pulling message; for
there is hardly a town in the south-
j west of 2,000 population but has at
least one paper of 1,000 or more
circulation. There is no other
1 means by which he can get such a
message into those homes for as
little cost. And fifty-two such
messages conscientiously prepared
and conscientiously lived up to,
cannot fail to pay for themselves
over and over during the year in
added profit^.
A Stranger With Three
Quarts Arrested
Merle Mingo, a colored product
from Enid with a euphonious cog-
nomen, came into possession of a
gallon of red liquor here Wednes-
day and trouble followed quickly.
It was in Merle's possession but a
few sweet hours before Deputy
Rutherford struck his trail. The
officer found him shortly after at
the depot where he was awaiting
■ the northbound passenger. Merle
I was all innocence when first accost-
ed by the officer, but when he saw
Wilbur .Jeffries, who had identified
him at the depot when he got the
consignment of the express agent,
he weakensd and fessed up. Three
quarts of the liquor all that remain-
ed of the gallon, was found in his
grip, covered with and old coat to
prevent the tell-tale clink and was
promptly confiscated by "Rufus"
and Merle laken up town while th< .
officer communiated with the
county attorney. After a confer-
ence with that official Mm: i v as

Night of Death
Pass me by, oh thou Satan, in this cold and dismal, chilly night.
Abide thou with me, oh my Savior, help me to maintain my right.
Yes, I have a right to the "Tree of Life" and a home in Glory;
I'm promised it in the "Book of Life and in redemption s story.
Me thinks I hear my Savior calling, "Weary child why longer roam?"
And in my ransomed soul I'm gladly saying, "Lord I m coming home.
