When a Goose Lays an Egg
During a moment when he was
facetiously disposed the late Andrew
Lang observed:
“When a goose 'ays an egg, she
just waddles; off as if she was asham
ed of it because she is a goose.
When a hen lays an egg ah, she
calls heaven and earth to witness.
The hen is a natural born advertiser.
Hence the demand for hen’s eggs ex
ceeds the demand for goose eggs,
and the hen has all the business she
can attend to.
This homely philosophy hits the
bu!ls’s-eye in the advertising propo
sition. It shows that even among
the denizens of barnyard it pays
to advertise. Not only does the
lien herself call attention to her
product, but her enthusiasm is con
tagious. It stirs a sympathetic and
responsive chord among the other
little brown hens and little red roos
ters, and her cackles and duckings
are taken up and repeated again.
Sometimes, even, the hens and roos
ters in the next yard will be moved
by the clamor, and thus the tidings
spread going, often, far from home
The goose overlooks these fine de
tails, and her egg, just as toothsome
and a great deal larger than hen
eggs, have no prestige. They are
simply goose eggs.
In an advertising way, are you a
goose, Mr. Merchant? If so, then
go to the hen. study her ways and
be wise.
Railroad CaFe Change Hands.
On last Monday the Railroad Cafe,
on Ward street, was sold by F. S.
Cate 3toA. K. Spencer. Mr. Cates
found that his other business almost
entirely consumed his time and thus
made it impossible to give the Cafe
the time and attention needed.
Mr. Spencer is a well known em
ployee of the Georgia & Florida shops
and is a kind and corteous gentleman.
Mrs. W. H. Edenfield will be in ac
tive control and management of the
business and knowing the hospitable
habits of Mrs. Edenfield, we have no
hesitency in predicting success for the
Railroad Cafe.
Mr. C. C. Floyd, who is operating
the gin at Oberry, was in town on
business Wednesday.
