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. | Ella Wheeler Wilcox. , We handle all kinds of Fancy and Staple Groceries. Let us serve your needs.— Bogg Bros. & Dadisman, Phorn *”5. We’re Going £ ??
