Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, May 12, 1921. A. G. LAMAR WRITES OF FLORIDA TRIP In Company With W. L. Jackson By Way of Automobile Editor News: Last week the writer had the pleasure of au automobile trip to Florida with Mr. Walter L. Jackson. We left Winder at 3:30 P. M. Wed nesday and reached Orlando for supper ou Friday evening. It has been a source of much regret to the many friends of Walter Jackson in Winder and this immediate section of Georgia to have him leave us to make his future home at Kissemmee, Florida, as cashier of anew bank re cently organized in that beautiful and prosperous little city of 0000 inhabi tants. Walter Jackson was born and reared in Winder and universally popular with all our people. While he does not look to be over 21 years old, he has been in the banking business for fourteen years, and for several years had been vice president of the North Georgia Trust & Bankiug Company, one of the lead ing financial institutions of this sec tion of the state, until his resignation to accept his present position in Flor ida. He knows banking thoroughly and ,ve predict and wish for him a success ul career in his newly adopted state. Kissemmee is 18 miles south of Or lando, right in the orange and truck ing belt of the state, and in the sec tion where thousands of tourists from the north spend their winters and mil lionaires have lovely homes and large orange groves. Florida is the most wonderful coun try in all this land of ours, and offers brighter opportunities to young men if energy and ambition than any other state of the union. Its beautiful lakes, orange groves, truck farms, brick roads and pretty towns and little cities keep one charm ed all the time and you never lose in terest In these varied attractions. Wherever you go in central and southern Florida you meet Georgians who have gone there ami prospered. It is the land of opportunities and of great possibilities and no one can imagine potent are these opportu nities and possibilities and realise the magnitude of muititnnious resources until seeing it. Tlie trip through Orlando and Kis simmee by automobile with "Walter Jackson was a congenial and enjoyable one and the courtesies shown by Mr. U. G. Staton, president of the hank and of which Mr. Jackson is cashier, and by others of Orlando were appreciated be yond expression. A. G. LAMAR. Hailstorm Sweeps This Section. Damage by wind and hall was re ported from this section of the state in the wake of a severe thunderstorm Which struck Winder Wednesday .after noon. The wind was reported to have a velocity of 50 miles per hour. Great damage to the growing crops, gardens, fruit trees, etc., is being reported from many sections. Hail fell in Winder in great quanti ties and Winder’s light service was out. of commission during Wednesday night. The storm was heavy in At lanta. Macon. Augusta, Birmingham. Ala., and intermediate points. Many trees have been reported as uprooted and many houses unroofed in some sec tions. We have heard of no one being injured by the storm in Barrow coun ty, but the crops have been seriously damaged and many will have to plant their cotton over. CAMP MEETING IN JUNE. Next month will be held a camp meet ing at the fair grounds in Winder. We understand that Charlie D. Tillman, the great singer, will be present. He is one of the best known singer-evan gelists in tjie south and will attract large audiences should he be present WOMAN HITS STRAIGHT FROM SHOULDER AT NON-ADVERTISERS “What’s the use of me advertising? Everybody in this town knows me and my store.” The Pine Bluff (Ark.) Advertising Club offered a prize of $25 for the best essay on "Why I Buy Outside of Pine Bluff.” A woman, Mrs. Robert Rogers, won the $35. Notice how she gives it to the local merchants, straight from the shoulder. She wrote: “One reason why I buy outside of Pine Bluff is the lack of ad vertising among the merchants. “The people of today buy through advertising, in Pine Bluff and out. We have catalogs sent with descriptions of goods, and while there may be just the same in Pine Bluff, we don't know where it is or who has it. The merchants say: ‘Why don’t you look for it. Here we are, at your service.’ "True enough, but we all follow the advertisement columns, and a good many times are led out of town by papers and catalogs of other cities. “Take the working girls, and there are many of them, who have not the time to go from place to place hunting certain articles. We have the catalogs and papers before us, and know just where we can get the articles wanted. So we sit down and order certain things sent ou approval, and one satisfactory purchase makes an other. “This is very much easier than spending time and energy hunt ing from store to store for articles that are neither displayed or advertised. “Another reason is incompetent clerks. No merchant would think of having an untrained bookkeeper or stenographer, and yet we have to put up with untrained salespeople, some even lack ing courtesy, others in knowledge of goods. Why not have meetings where the salespeople could hear good lectures on selling methods. Every customer is different. One should learn how to upproach prospective customers. "Courtesy sells as much goods ns advertising. Another thing, so few know how ro show their stock. For instance, in a place like Pine Bluff I should say nine-tenths of the customers are known to the salespeople. Yet we go in and are misled instead of being shown what is within our means. We are shown some very hand some, high-priced articles or else something too cheap, and we come away dissatisfied. “We then pick up a paper or cataloog from unother town and see just what we want and order it. The mail order houses try to please and thereby catch a gool deal of the trade that might be kept in Pine Bluff.” Another thing this essay proves: There's no good in saying: “There’ff no use in advertising to women; they’ll shop around anyway.” This women didn’t, and the fair presumption is that hundreds and thousands of her sisters in Pine Bluff and other towns are following her example. It's the advertiser who gets the business, locally as well as nationally.—Editor & Publisher. WALTER JACKSON GOES TO FLORIDA Winder loses one of its best citizens in the removal of Mr. Walter L. Jack son to Kissemmee, Fla., where he goes to accept a position as cashier in one of the leading banks of that city. He has resigned his position in this city as vice president of the North Georgia Trust & Banking Cos. to make his home in the land of flowers. Mr. Jackson was reared here, numbers his friends by the hundreds and every one of them regret to see him leave tills city. His family will remain in Winder until later in the summer before joining him. All of Winder and Barrow coun ty Join in wishing him great success in his mew home. Death of Mr. J. I. J.

The pastor and church hud enguged the services of Dr. William R. Owen, of Macon, but at the last minute he was taken sick and could not come to fill his engagement, so the local mem- hers went on with the meeting. The congregations were large from the very start and the afternoon meetings held at four o’clock duily were, In point of uumbers and helpfulness, the best ever held in the church. Twenty-five new members were add ed to the church roll and the member ship was greatly revived by these days of spiritual refreshing spent together. Rev. J. Frank Jackson, of Atlanta, came over and was present the last few days of the meeting. Though unable to preach he is worth his weight in gold to sit around and talk, pray and do personal work in a revival. He is the oldest evangelist on the State Mission Board, and has been one "of the most successful and faithful work ers In the entire denomination. The different denominations In the city were present through their repre sentatives and helped much In the good WM*k. The music was in charge of Mayor N. Bagwell and the local choir. Much was added to the services of swig by lihe young people and their splendid tanging of the old fashioned SflßgS. , T&ee gloriwas experience and testimony meetings wall leave their blessings upon the town far months to come. Truly it was a meeting in which the Spirit had rnwjty and the people took part. At the close of the services Mr. John M. Williams, chairman of the board of deacons, expressed the appreciation of the etmreh to the pastor for his tine service and said, “a finer series of ser mons have never been delivered in our town.” The members thoughtfully re memtsred the pastor with a splendid purse -which comes In well for his trip to the Southern Baptist convention which is in session at Chattanooga this week. BED CROSS WORkERS SERVE STEW. The Red Cross workers of Winder served stew to the public in the store on Broad street adjoining .1. T. Strange Cos.
