The Modern Way
to Sell Goods
Trade conditions are changing mightily from the old
ways. It used to be that the retail salesman'had to do a
lot of -introductory and educational work—had to spend
much time showing various goods and explaining their
merits. Now all this preliminary work is done before
the customer goes to the store—done by advertising.
Staples of high quality, as well ns novelties, are adver
tised by name, brand or tragic-mark, their uses and
merits are made known through newspapers, and the
consumer is thoroughly familiar with their value and
desirability when the need for tlfem arises.
And people buy the goods they know by name nnd
reputation in preference to unknown, unadvertised arti
cles. Thfe dealer finds them easier to sell, therefore the
jobber has a better demand for them. Thus the manu
facturer who advertises his wares to the consumer
creates a demand that the dealer and jobber must sup
ply with his goods and no other.
The manufacturer who uses this newspaper reaches
the best consumers in this locality, reaches them when
they have time to consider his claims for their patronage •
anil reaches them through a medium that helps him with
its own influence. The Massengale Advertising Agencv,
of Atlanta, Ga., can help any manufacturer in the prepa
ration and placing of convincing advertising matter.
CAPTAIN BURTON SMITH
VOLUNTEERS FOR RESCUE
AND FINDS MISSING BO\
Burtwi Smith, captain and adjutant
of the Fifth Georgia regiment, volun
teered for the rescue corps Saturday
night. He responded to a call for as
sistance and saved a wanderer in dis
tress.
The Marietta and Peachtree corner
was as crowded at 8 o'clock Saturday
night as it always is at that hour. A
nasty, drilling rain did not Improve
the spirits of pedestrians. Certainly
It did not serve to cheer the heart of
Lewis Stewart Mayo, who was tired of
the crowd, tired of the streets and the
clanging street car that kept him dodg
ing. tired of electric lights and wet
pavements, and anxious to gp home to
supper. „ %
Lewis Stewart Mayo la not as big as
his name. He Is almost eight, but'he
hasn’t grown very tall even In those
years. He had his home at 83 Harris
street early In the morning. But where
he went and what he suw is a sealed
book. Lewis is not loquacious.
Captain Smith was swinging along,
turning an eye toward Decatur street
lest there should be occasion for an
other call fo5 troops. He heard some
body softly crying and looked down.
It was a long way from the big cap
tain’s eyes to the tear-bedimmed blue
ones of Lewis Stewart Mayo, but their
glances met half way and that made
it paster. Lewis’ head reached to the
captain’s knees. His troubles climbed
straight to the captain’s heart.
“NVhat’s the matter, my boy?" asked
Captain Smith. “Are you lost?"
The little fellow cried all the harder.
The .captain tried new tactics.
“Where do you Jive, son?” he asked.
More tears. Then Police Sergeant
Shepard came by and stopped to drive
the 1 crowd away.
"This is a case of strategy,” remarked
the captain. He picked up the little
fellow and sought the nearest soda
fountain. Under the influence of cho
colate Ice cream and cake Lewis Stew
art Mayo forgot his tears and his ap
petite Indicated that he had missed
both dlnnet and supper. But he pre
served his attitude of reticence and de
clined to talk, either for publication or
as art evidence of good faith.
"Well. I guess it’s up to the police
station," said the captain. And to the
station they went. There they found
that Mr. and Mrs. Mayo had been
keeping the telephone busy with ap
peals to the police to find their prodigal
son. The afternoon papers had carried
the story' of his disappearance and in a
short time Lewis Stewart was restored
to his own fireside.
But what Lewis did during his
twelve hours of hobo life win never be
known until he chooses to tell: Maybe
he’ll tell his mother some day, but one
thing Is certain—he won’t tell any one
else.

After Armour and
Others.
Chicago, Oct. 1.—J. Ogden Armour
and other Chicago packers have been
asked to go before Commissioner Lyle
D. Taylor today and tell what they
know about the operation of a packers’
trust in Arkansas. Sixty witnesses
have been asked to testify. Including
heads of departments, agents and
bookkeepers.
If legal representatives of Arkansas
win their case, the packers must in all
probability abandon their warehouses
and depots in Little Rock. Texarkana,
Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, Helena and a
dozen other cities and towns in the
state.
The Arkansas attorneys figure that
they can collect a minimum Ane of
$200 a day from each of the big pack
ers represented In their state for six
months’ violation of the law during
the latter pan of 1905. This will give
them in round numbers $200,000, or
ten times the sum the International
Harvester Company paid Arkansas for
violating the anti-trust laws several
7 onths ago.
The Arkansas attorneys have estab
lished headquarters in room 416 at the
Stratford hotel, and they have been
busy for the last week holding confer
ences with witnesses. They said they
had enough evidence to convict the
packers. They would not say what
witnesses they expected to call, but
admitted Mr. Armour, Arthur Merger,
Edward Tllden and T. E. Wilson were
under consideration.
The anti-trust law passed a year ago
prohibits any corporation from form
ing pools, a trust or conspiracy to con
trol prices, or to Ax the amount of
production In the state of Arkansas.

nights, with a matinee Wednesday af
ternoon. Up-to-date theater-goers,

one of the real hits of last winter and
the past summer In New York and
Chicago. The company that will ap

enjoyable performances At the theat
rical season at the Grand, and from
present Indications the theater will be

“The Heir to the Hoorah," a comedy
w’hlch ran from winter days to dog-
days at the Hudson theater, New York,
Is announced for a performance at the
Grand Thursday night. “The Heir to
the Hoorah" Is the work of Paul Arm
strong, a widely known newspaper man
and play writer, and the late Kirke
LaHhelle, whose untimely death fol
lowed shortly upon the first presenta
tion in New York of this, the latest
play he produced. The consensus of
critical opinion from New York, Chica
go, Philadelphia nnd Boston, where the
new comedy has been seen, Is, to quote
Bud Young, one of Armstrong’s quaint
characters, "nil to the good." The
scenes of the play ore laid In a mining
town, "Just east of the Divide." and
the characters, like those In “Arizona"
and "The Virginian,’’ are mostly men
uhd women of the mountains and
plalfis. Guy Bates Post was chosen
by Mr. LuHhelle to create the role of
Joe Lacy In this new comedy, and
Jane Peyton, who was leading lady
with Lawrence D'Orsay in “The Earl of
