_ _ The ATHENS HERALD is doing every
thing it can at all times to establish a relation
ship of mutual benefit between advertisers
and itself.
The ATHENS HERALD’S interest in ad-
vertisers does not cease with receiving con
tracts.
First: We try to help advertisers get the
best possible type effects in their advertise
ments so as to make them inviting to readers.
Second: We try to make up the advertising
pages so as to give as great variety of business
news as possible to each page.
Third : We try to place each advertisement
as advantageously as possible so as to increase
its influence upon the reader.
Fourth: We try to arouse the interest of,
readers by printing daily articles asking them
to read the advertisements and give their
“ trade to advertisers. H
These are four important first aids to ad
vertisers. . 'I
Readers of the ATHENS HERALD are
very responsive.
There are so many of them that advertisers
cannot fail to receive profitable returns.
Please bear in mind that Athens Herald
readers represent over one half of the entire
population of the city of Athens. The Athens
Herald is delivered iiito over 2,000 homes in
Athens.
At a low calculation Athens Herald readers
will spend 90 per cent of the total amount of
money spent each month in the stores of Ath
ens.
How can any business man overlook an op
portunity to make his appeal for trade to so
invest 90 per cent of the money earned and
saved and spent and invested by citizens of
Athens.

Many Stores in
ATHENS
It will be to the advantage of out-of-town
shoppers to shop in Athens every Saturday—
which is Suburban Out-of-Town Shoppers’ Day
in Athens. It will also be to your advantage to
read carefully the advertisements in this issue of
The Herald, which tell of the Special Bargains ar
ranged by Herald advertisers who are cooperating
to make Suburban Day shopping in Athens worth
your while.
Their advertisements may be accepted by you
as meaning what they say. They are really prom
issory notes which they must pay, or else go out of
business upon failijre to keep their word to you.
No merchant will take chances on fooling you.
Every merchant advertises to secure you as a
customer. He knows that to retain you as a cus
tomer he must treat you right—give you good
merchandise at a fair price.
THE ATHENS HERALD feel sthat business
men who use its advertising columns to influence
you, readers, to trade with them are impressed
with the importance of giving you facts only.
It is absurd* to think that any merchant will
put a halter around his own neck by misrepresent
ing to you. Merchants know as well as you do
that the only way to build and hold a business is
by giving customers satisfactory service.
The advertiser comes out in the limelight. He
gives his work to the public in a public way. He
cannot avoid his public pledge. He must make
good his promise to you, readers and he will.
Look over the advertisements that tell you
about the things that are right to buy—the things
that have been selected with good judgment for
your benefit—and then select what you need.
We have no doubt that merchants will make
special affort, as the popularity of Suburban Day
grows on them, to concentrate their advertising
on seasonable articles in The Athens Herald, thus
siding you.
Of course it takes time to get merchants, or
anybody else, to fall in line with a new idea, but
kept at persistently it is bound to succeed, espe
cially if it be a good idea, which this one is.
So Do Your Shop-
ping in Athens
Saturday
There is great value in setting apart a definite
time to do definite things—to follow a regular
schedule for everything.
Read the advertisements of the merchants who
have arranged Special Bargains for Saturday’s
Out-of-Town Shoppers, and whose stores are pre
pared to render you special service. It will pay
you to shop in Athens each Saturday and to say
when shopping—
