Practical Advertising
& Her Wonderful Resour
. ces atthe Land Show,
Chicago, Nov. 23 to
Dee, 8.
® Under the auspices of the
iGeorgia Exhibit Association,
iGeorgia was splendidly represen
fed at the Land Show held in the
Coliseurn, Chicago, lils , Novem
per and December, 1911. Through
he exhibit at the Land Show,
goany thousands of pieces of lit
erature, exploiting Georgia and
her wonderful resources and ad
i vantages, were distributed, and
Pnany thousands of people visited
the exhibit and, as a result, a
large number of people have
moved to the State of Gzorgia.
Advices received by Mr. W. H.
] efiny, President of the Georgia
% hibit Association, show that
space at the Land Show this year
has been taken by the States
of Texas, Mississippi, Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee
and the Carolinas. No state in
the Union offers to the homeseek
er and inventer greater advant
2oes than Georgia, but we can
ot afford to rely upon our ad
vantages without giving them, in
this day of publicity, the adver
tising necessary to attract atten
tion from other sections of the
South which are putting forth
every effort to secure attention.
very community in Georgia has
s interest in this matter.
The Georgia Exhibit Associa
tion estimates that a very credit
able exhibit can be placed at the
Land show this year at a nomi
nal cost, and the basis upon which
it is proceeding to give the show
sueh that the more communi
s who participate the less the
cost will be to each.
The question is, can Georgia
L fford to be absent from the Land
Show, with practically all of the
fother States in the South present?
81 we hope to procure our share
¥ hose progressive citizens of
he Central and Middle West who
are looking Southward unless
proper efforts are put forth to
draw their attention to the Em
bire State of the South.

Southern Insurance Com- l
panies Solider Than Ever
Atlanta, Oct. 24.—According
to the men who gathered here
~ecently for the big insurance
‘onference, there was a time, not
many years ago, when Southern
people were somewhat like the
romantic redskins of the Fenni
more Cooper novels, in that they
would buy anything that a plaus
ble stranzer happened to bring
‘from afar, just as the Indians
used to trale land . and valuable
} furs for strings of common glass
heads.
But that time has passed, they
{eclare, and the South is no long
or a fertile field for the exploita
tion of ‘‘nigh finance” schemes.
[he principal reason for this, it
is stated, i 3 that the South has
come to realize the advantages
of having its own institutions and
industries and patronizing them
at home.
Figures are dry things, but
they are of the strongest ‘‘spot
light’’ that can be thrown upon
the bald assertions of fact.
Twelve years ago southern in
surance companies were strug
zling for existence; an existence,
nevertheless, which they meant
to maintain. Today the situation
is different. Home companies,
solid as the red hills of;Georgia,
are on every side. They have
become as much a solid part of
the south as its very soil. From
an insignificant amount of busi
ness done by the home compan
ies twelve years ago. the south
ern companies carry a big per
cent of all the insurance, fire and
life, written within the south’s
borders. Southern companies
are surrounded with the same,
and often with stricter safe
guards than those of the north
and east. Georgia’s new insur
ance law, passed at the last ses
sion of the legislature. and now
in force, is recognized as one of
the best the law-makers could
devise. This. together with the
growth of the idea ‘‘keeping
money at home,”” has made the
southern companies solider than
ever. ‘Thekeeps money at home’
slogan has been particularly the
watchward of the insurance
leaders who have preached it
everywhere as the gospel of the
New South.
Pink- Ballots For
Democratic Party
Atlanta, Oct. 24.—Unless all
signs fail the Georgia polling
p'aces for the coming presiden
tial election will look like a con
fetti carnival before the fateful
day is over. -
It will no longer be a ‘‘snow
drift of white ballots,”’ as it has
been for so many years; it will
be a kaleidoscopic riot of colors
if plans now under way are car
ried out.
The Democrats announced some
time time ago that the Wilson
ballot would be pink, to distin
guish it from all others. No
sooner was this precaution taken
when the Bull Moosers, Socialists,
Taft Republicans and Prohibi
tionists, none of them to be out
done, began to consider the ad
visability of having a special col
or for the election, too. The
Socialists, it is said, about agreed
on a red ballot. Prohibitionists
were about to adopt blue, as typ
lifying purity of purpose, until
isomebody suggested that a blue
ribbon on a prohibitionist might
offer opportunity for the quibs
and jokes of the worldly-minded.
The Taft ballot, it is suggested,
¢ould propéfly*be réd-white:and
blue, as Taft is the official candi
date of the present American
administration; what colors the
Bull Moosers -will adopt no one
yet knows, but black and tan
in a design has been suggested as
appropriate.
The question of feeding is one
of the most important the poultry
man has to ans ¥er.

Increased production now enables us to
bring them to you.
Here, therefore, is the opportunity for dealer
and buyer alike—a car of medium price
that offers such value and service that it
has made a clean sweep.
One of the explanations of K-r-i-t value is—
that all the essential parts are made within
the K-r-i-t organization ; the money is put
into the car itself and rot in useless
equipment.
Dealers who know the K-r-i-t, know that the
best part of the K-r-i-t profit lies in its
character—which makes it a successful
car next year as well as this year because
the K-r-it reputation rolls up the sales.
Moreover they know that K-rit service
means that the K-r-i-t Motor Car Company
stands back of every car—that a written

Therefore, the Dealer who ties up with the

him, the biggest business stroke of his

automobile, bear in mind that the K-r-i-t

That means conservation of power, getting

And speaking of power, don’t forget that
while the K-r-i-t is medium in price, it is
full powered, staunch and husky, equal
to any work. :
