The man who advertises wants your business and deserves to get it. What do you think about a county fair for Butts county this fall? MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE Recently we had occasion to do some “shopping” with a mer chant who doesn’t advertise— can’t afford it. he says. We had a motive in doing the trading. We wanted to find out if the merchant who doesn’t advertise really sells cheaper than his com petitor who does advertise. We found out all right and here it is: The merchant who cannot afford to advertise sold us a certain ar ticle at exactly 25 per cent more than his competitors asked us for identically the same artic'e. His competitor is a liberal advertiser, keeps it up all the year round, has a good bank account, does a big business and is making mon ey. Dalton Citizen. The Citizen comments: “The big merchants in Dalton —in any city are theories who advertise. They are also the successful ones. They have the goods, the prices, and they are fair enough with the public to tell it what they have. “The time is coming, and it is not very distant, when the peo ple will only trade with those who advertise, on the assumption laiy. 'ly that they are the only who have anything to sell.” Macon certainly deserves anew depot and here's hoping she gets it some time soon. They are now carrying parcel post matter by airships, which shows the system is flying. Scarce as hen’t teeth, men who are n t trying to be post masters or 1 uui a job in the cabinet. The per capita wealth in the United States is given as $34.72. Honest, somebody’s got ourn. If the parcel post law were so amended as to allow the trans mission of books it would meet with general favor. The impression is fast gaining ground that Butts county has too many courts for the good of the taxpayers’ u >eketbooks. It will be • good piece of busi ness p*!icy if Butts county can borrow enough money to pay her teachers promptly this year. How about the grain growers associ tion that was agitated so muck i few weeks ago? Let us have the contests by all means, i As soon as the newspapers stop mentioning Blease’s name he will soon be forgotten. This is our first ofhense; also where we swear off. Metter. Bulloch county, is seek ing to be the county seat of Can dler county, which it is proposed to create out of parts of Bulloch, Emanuel and Tattnall. The people of Butts county should begin planning right now for a county fair this fall. Our agricultural resources are worth more than a regiment of politi cians.
