ON THE JOB
(From Commerce News)
The* weakly papers of Georg: i
have been fighting for their exis
tence during the past tw?> months.
They have been working hard to
make buckle and tongue meet. Tak
en as a whole, the weekly press of
the state has been operated at a
loss .during the period designated, all
because of the want of local adver
tising patronage. Here and there,
in most country towns, are to be
found a few business men who kept
their advertisements running, but
the number is few and far between.
Local merchants, as a whole, have
withheld their advertisements, for
reason they do not think it pays to
advertise in the dull summer months.
There are business men who take
a different view. Right now in this
dull season, the mnil order houses
are busy, very busy. They are doing
the bulk of their advertising right
bow in the middle; of the dull sea
son. For instance, the National
Gloak Cos. is literally flooding the
homes of the people who live in the
rural sections .We have been amaz
ed to see piles and piles of their itn
mense catalogues that the rural car
riers are taking to the country peo
ple. E very rural carrier going out
from Commerce is carrying great
quantities of these catalogues. They
are large, and full of cuts and pic
tures of what these people have to
sell, and there is a picture and full
description, together with the price
of everything advertised.
Not only so, hut the same is true
of Sears & Roebuck Cos. of Atlanta.
Their immense catalogues have gone
out to the people in the rural sec
tions in great quantities. The season
never gets too dull for Sears & Roe
buck. When times are good, they
advertise. When they are dull, they’
keep on advertising.
Is it any wonder that people pa
tronize these mail order concerns?
Certainly not. They carry the mat
ter into the homes of the people.
They tell what they have to sell,
tell of the style, the quality, and
the price. It is but natural that
when the people get ready to buy,
they take the catalogue, select what
they want, and order it. They do
that because the local merchant has
not advertised his goods. They do
not know what the local merchant
has, what the style is, what the quali
ty, nor what the price of the mer
chandise. The local merchant may
have exactly what the *party wants,
but they do not know it. They do
know that the mail order house has
just what they want, and at-a price
they ar® willing to pay, so they pick
up the catalogue and order it.
There is no jfgJ.ung around the
truth of the statement. The facts
at a ted are facts. Now that Sears &
Roebuck has located at’our very
door, the local merchant has the
option of meeting advertising with
advertising, or letting the trade that
naturally belongs to the local mer
chant go to the mail order houses.
TO LIFT oft to l£an
There are two kinds of people on
earth today,
Just two kinds of people, no more,
I say,
Not the saint and the sinner, for
’tis well understood
The (pood are half bad and the bad
are half pood;
Not the rich and the poor, for to
Count man’s wealth
You must first know the state of
his conscience and health;
Not the humble and proud, or in
* life’s little span
Who puts on Vain airs is not count
ed a man;
Not the happy and sad, for the swift
fly ing years
Briny each man his laughter and
each man his tears.
No! the two kinds of people on
earth that I mean
Are the people who lift and the peo
ple who lean.
Where’er you go you will find the
world’s masses
Are always divided in just two class
es;
And, oddly enough; you find, too, I
ween,
There is only one lifter to twenty
who lean.
In what class are you? Are you
easing the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toil down
the road?
Or, are you a leaner, who lets I
others bear .
Your portion of labor and worry and|
care. |
