A SUCCESSFUL
MERCHANT
"There is no business too small to
advertise. It your story is not inter
esting enough to put on paper, you
have no reason for being in business,
and you might as well quit.”
These are the words of the origina
tor of the New Orleans Better Business
BureuU and chairman of the Ketail
Merchants Division of the New Or
leans Association of Commerce. He
is himself a graduate of the small
town store. He believed in advertising
and he backed up his belief. Today he
is vice-president and manager of one
of the biggest women's ready to wear
stores in New Orleans.
“Advertise,” he says, "advertise more
and more in your community and its
tributary territory. You need to keep
your case, your argument constantly
before your prospective customers. De
velop your held. If your community
boasts a newspaper, make the newspa
per your plow, keep your ad on its
pages.”
"Stimulate the buying inclination in
your customer by timely suggestions.
Learn and study to do little tilings that
will please him and make him glad he
• did business with you. Give careful
thought to attractive displays of your
merchandise, on your shelves, in your
saltjC cases, in your show windows.
Show your interest in your customer
and he will be interested in buying
irom you.”
These are the words of a successful
merchant. He tells how he succeeded
and there is not a merchant in Winder
but what can add greatly to the vol
ne of his business by judicious ad
vertising. The Winder News has the
subscribers, we can reach your custom
ers and a weekly talk to them through
the columns of this paper will be the
best investment that you can make.
>on’t take our word for it. Study the
methods of the successful merchants
everywhere. Fear and timidity will
never get you anywhere. Launch out
and build up a business that will crown
your efforts with success.

AND THE BARROW TIMES
Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, Seotember 15. 1921.
THERE IS A REASON
The reason so many men have no
credit Is they fail to protect same when
they have it. We often read of the old
time honesty—that is. when one owes
money his first impulse is to pay his
debts and not use the money that has
been entrusted to him by taking
chances on speculation on cotton and
other things. Our credit is the most
sacred asset we have and should be
protected by all hazards.
The time is coming in the near fut
ure if we haven’t this credit or trust
we will go down in want. If you have
not a good credit, the burden is on you
and not on the banks or merchants as
some will try to make you believe.
Don’t gamble on the other fellow’s
money but pay your dbts as fast as you
get the. money and then when hard
times come you will get help.

CARD FROM I)R. R. P. ADAMS.
This is to personally notify my delin
quent patrons, this year, last year,
year before last, still farther back,
that you must pay me—that is, if you
still want me to practice for you. Not
that I wouldn’t do it on a credit, as I
have been doing. If I could. But 1
can’t, simply can't. I don't want to
quit the practice of medicine, but I
must, unless you pay me. If I should
have to quit because you didn’t pay
me. would your conscience ever quit
pricking you?
I have sense enough to know that
you can pay me this fall, and, if you do
not, of course I’ll know the reason why.
Let’s settle up and start over. 1 like
all my patrons and would hate to quit
working for them ; but I can get other
jobs that pay at the end of the month.
Very truly yours,
' V R. P. ADAMS, M. D.
