THE-STRAND THEATFR PROGRAM The Strand Theater The Home of Good Pictures VOL. XXVIII. 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.

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. •B- - ~ NOTICE.

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.
