The Hardest Job in Every Business
*
IN nearly every line production lias been 1
increased on account of the war. The i
hardest job ahead is to find a market in
peace times for what those factories turn out.
Money is made—not in manufacturing—but
in selling. Yet selling seldom receives the
attention it deserves.
The number of factories a manufacturer can
build—the profit he can earn —are limited by
the amount of merchandise for which he can
find a ■profitable market.
If demand can be kept ahead of production, a
profitable market is sure. And the one way to
keep demand ahead of production is by adver
tising— teaching the public to use more of
your goods.
In the past the South has bent her energies on
manufacturing. The marketing of her prod
ucts were largely left to others who took the
raw materials and staples and converted
them into specialties, trade-marked, adver
tised and sold them. And, invariably, it is the
sellingof specialties that pays the wide’margin
of profit and the selling of staples that pays
the slim.
• Greater profits —• keeping conditions in our
hands instead of on them- —depend upon our
marketing our goods as well as upon our mak
ing them.
The South’s cotton goods should be known by
brand-names in Detroit just as we know and
buy the variout makes of automobiles pro
duced by the citizens of that enterprisin :
Michigan city.
Lumber, of which the South i; the Nation's
greatest possessor, will be needed for recon
struction and the merits of our various woods
should be convincingly told by advertising.
The South is the greatest fat-producing sec
tion ’pfAmerica. In the vegetable oils from
her cotton-seed, peanuts and soy beans she
produces more fat than all the dairy cows of .
America —more fat than all the hogs slaught
ered in a year. More Southern-made and
marketed compound lards and salad oils
would bring additional millions into Dixie.
It* rite, wire or phone any of the accredited advertising agencies of the South and arrange a conference
with them to discuss how to increase sales. Let them help you solve the hardest job ahead

CITY ASSESSORS
BOOSTS VALUES |

It was stated today by members of
the board of city tax assessors that
increases of from 10 to 20 per cent,
in practically all of the property
values returned for taxation in the
city had been made for this year. I
The raises were made to “meet the I
exigencies of the city,” it was said, ;
| The board has finished going through:
I the returns and is serving notices on ,
all property owners whose valuations I
have been increased to give them an ■
opportunity to come before the board!
fora djustment, if the figures fixed 1 ;
by the board are not accepted as fair |
and just.
It was stated that, although a num
ber of minor adjustments had been I
made, only one notice of arbitration
i has been filed, that coming from Jus- ;
tice of the Peace W. T. McMath and
! reaching the board today. In his|
j letter to the board Mr. McMath, who
’ owns several pieces of city property,
I stated that the board’s figures did
i not please him, and that he ap
i pointed C. I. Brady as his arbitrator.
The board instructed City Clerk Eld
i ridge to inform Mr. McMath that it
would accept Mr. Brady as the city’s
; arbitrator also, and leave the entire
matter up to hinj, oeing perfectly
willing to abide by his decision.
Property owners affected have ten
I days in which to appeal from the find
ings of the assessors after receiving
; notice, and therefore it will proba
bly be two weeks before the city
books are finally closed and go to
’ the city clerk for compiling of the
1 digest.
Cane syrups, coffees and all the other epi
curean delights for which the South is famed
would find a bigger demand if backed by ade
quate advertising. And such a demand would
automatically fix a profitable price.
Marketing our products as well as making
them would furnish work for the hands and
brains of our returning sons provide room
for the t allest ambition and stop the emigra
tion to the North and West of the talented
and ambitious.
There was a time when we could sell the
merchant and let him push the goods. But to
day the hardware, grocery and drug stores
will carry from 2,000t0 10,000 different items.
Pushing anyone is impossible.
Wise manufacturers are marking their goods
so that they can be recognized telling the
public about their merits and inducing the
folks to pull them off of the shelves. And in
this respect, at least, an ounce of “pull” is
worth a pound of “push. ’
The advertising agencies of the South have
had years of experience in advertising and
marketing many commodities. They know
the methods that have proved successful, be
cause their whole time is engrossed with the
problems of selling.
Their contact with leading manufacturers in
many lines has made them intimate with
various methods of winning trade—methods *
of securing distribution fighting substitu
tion. It is their business to know how busi
ness is being built.
Their services cost nothing. They are paid a
commission by the publishers to make adver
tising profitable to the manufacturer. It will
be a revelation to many business men to know
the varied forms of assistance these agencies
can render —information on markets, con
tainers, trademark law, distribution methods,
dealer cooperation, service in preparing
booklets, copy-writing and real information
on the value of different classes of advertising
media.

lEADACHE
Caused by
Acid-Stomach
Yes. indeed, more often than you think.
Because ACID-STOMACH, starting with in
digestion, heartburn, belching, food-repeat
ing, bloat and gas, if not cheeked, will even
tually affect every vital organ of the body.
Severe, blinding, splitting headaches are.
therefore, of frequent occurrence as a result
of this up set condition.
Take EATONIC. It quickly banishes acid
stomach with its sour bloat, pain and gas.
It aids digestion—helps the stomach get
full strength from every mouthful of food
you eat. Millions of people are miserable,
weak, sick and ailing because of ACID
STOMACH. Poisons, created by partly di
gested food charged with acid, are absorbed
into the blood and distributed throughout the
entiresystem. Th is often causes rheumatism,
biliousness,cirrbosisof the liver.hearttrouble.
ulcers and even cancer of the stomach. It
robs its victims of their health, undermines
the strength of the most vigorous.
If you want to get back your physical ami
mental strength —be full of vim and vigor—
enjoy life and be happy, you must ret rid of
your acid-stomach-
in EATONIC you will find the very help
’ you need and it's guaranteed. So get a big
60e box from your druggirt today. If it
tails to please you, return it and tie will re
fund your money.

cut a hole through the cork wide
enough to admit the nozzle of a water
j tap with n little pressure; turn on

Again, Since Taking Dreco.
When a person has been half sick, feel
ing dull, tired and “no account,” then
gets a medicine that puts new energy and
vim into his every-day life, he feels like
: letting others know about it. That's
how this man feels. He is Mr. D. B. Fra
■ ser, 2714 Norwich street, Brunswick, Ga.
“For years I’ve suffered awful pains in
my back from deranged kidneys. Some
times I'd have to get up five or six times
during the night. I also had headaches
and was badly constipated, and my food
seemed to ferment in my stomach and
form sour gas. which caused much un
easiness and distress. I was very dizzy
at times and had about lost my appetite.
I had tried many different medicines, but
none helped me. and I’d given up all
hope of ever getting well again. I heard
so much about Dreco I bought a bottle,
and right from the start it did me good.
It soothed my stomach and stopped the
gas: put a stop to the constipation and
headaches, also the dizziness, and my ap
petite got better every day The pains
in my back and kidneys have been en
tirely relieved, and now I go to bed and
sleep all night long, and never have to
get up during the night as I formerly
did.”
Dreco is made of the Juices and ex
tracts of many herbal plants, which act
on the kidneys, liver, bladder, stomach
and blood, and corrects many troubles,
such as gas on the stomach, constipation,
weakness, poor appetite, nervousness,
headaches, biliousness, catarrh, rheuma
tism, and such blood disorders as eczema,
pimples, blotches, boils and eruptions.
The first bottle usually shows splendid
results, and a full treatment brings per
" anent results.
Dreco is sold by all druggists and is highly
recommended in this city by

Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.
To look one’s best and feel one’s best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre
vious day’s waste, sour fermentations
and poisonous toxins before it is ab
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a cer
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate ia
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos
phated hot water . drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more im
portant than outside cleanliness, be
cause the skin pores do not übsorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
