2,of Athens
The future of a street.—.. rri} —■
is a fit problem for a prophet with divine powers.
People of ordinaiy mental -development can ojhly guess and
wonder what the future has in store,* * ■ ; v
There can be no profit in sight, the question is whether
buckle and tongue can be made to meet. • •
Athens management has always insisted ; oh good equip
ment and so long as the road is operated it is our purpose to
keep the cars clean and wholesome and the mechanical and
electrical equipment is absolutely safe operating condition.
So the solution seems to be on the other side of the ledger,
the question of fares and receipts.
The fare that will meet the views of a majority of the peo
ple and induce the most riding at a profit is the problem to
be solved. There is no solution to the great stumbling block,
the friendly free riding habit.
Ideas vary so one is reminded of the difficulties of those
who prepare the savory bean for the appreciative palate of
the down-Easter when they remember that • ! , '■ '

Nine days old.”
We have had suggestions as to the penny bug bear, of the
desirability of tickets, of the fear that the service would have
td be discontinued,, as it has in a number of other towns in
Georgia, and that five cents would be a panacea.
We have tried five cent, six cent and seven cent cash fares
without meeting the mounting costs of operation. (We are
paying oUr car operators eight times as much per hour as
their predecessors were paid thirty years ago and twice as
much as they were paid in 1915.
Among other cities in the United States and Canada, sta
tistics show there are now 34 with 5 cent cash fares, 101 with
6 cent cash, 175 with 7 cent cash, 78 with 8 cent cash, 4 with 9
cent cash and 145 with 10 cent caSh. In most of these cities
tickets or tokens are also sold at 6 1-4 cents, 7 cents or 8
cents. »• ■ . ’ ! . , ,

We have tried 5 cent, 6 cent and 7 cent cash. The record
.above would indicate that a combination of a higher cash
rate for transients and a better ticket rate for home folks
would be good business and we have determined therefore in
view of the fact that our receipts are hot meeting the costs
of operation, to ask the Utilities Commission, to sanction a 10
cent cash fare and a 7 cent ticket sold five for thirty-five
cents.
We would appreciate the cooperation of our patrons in a
trial of this plan which eliminates the penny, gives our home
people an advantage over transient and follows the lines
that have proved most successful in most other cities with
similar problems.

MAGIC NAMES
2 The influence of advertising is
Apparent in every turn of my daily
Jife. I find I cannot disregard it. It
3s always with me, guiding me in
9ny pleasures and in my duties, tel-
ding me what I should eat, wear,
;and use and what I should buy for
*~y family.
They mean convenience. It is
not necessary to describe the
thing I want. Even the most in
timate articles may be purchas
ed without embarrassment since
the advertisers have given us
handy names.
r
I find that there is on the tip. of
f ny tongue a multitude of names
he mention of which will bring
tfroip some shelf nearly everything
llhat I can use in my daily life and
Jjn the daily life of my family.
| In every instance that name
|neans a very definite promise and
Insurance of something., substan
tial and which will make me feel
completely satisfied about having
exchanged my money for, it.
Let me say a few things which
ese names—these old friends of
e newspaper and • magazine
ages—mean to me.
They mean good taste. For cer-
ainly I desire to. do the thing that
■ believe discriminating people
lave judged J>esL — ...
They mean assurance in shop
ping. There is no indecision.
Even before I enter the shop I
know what I want to buy.
And certainly they mean sat
isfaction.* For the advertiser
whose product is. not good can
not continue to advertise. The
t fact" that T have, seen a name re-
' fleated over and over again as
sures me that it stands for a
product of quality. In speaking
that name to the clerk I know I
am asking for the best.
I am a more judicious shop
per because I buy advertised
goods. I patronize the shop that
sells them.
