What President Harding Said
About Business Years Ago Is Good Advice Today
WARREN G. HARDING, President of the United States, several years
ago, while soliciting patronage for his newspaper plant in Marion,
Ohio it is recorded, was askedby a fellow townsman this question:
“Well, Warren, how do you find business?”
And this was Mr. Harding’s reply:
“By going after it.”
What the man, who is now our nation’s chief executive said then is just as true
today, and always will be.
You will find business “By going afterit.’
And going after business is NOT pull
ing ’em off the sidewalk as they pass.
You’ve got to get ’em out of the homes;
off the farms; from the smaller towns.
The Mail Order Houses are GOING
AFTER BUSINESS, and they are get
ting it. The Atlanta and Macon De
partment stores are going after busi
ness, and THEY are getting it.
There went out from.the Americus postoffice on the
four rural routes enough mail order catalogues to
more than pay for a whole year's advertising bill for
the average small merchant.
One of the carriers in speaking of the catalogues
stated that this was a very small shipment, and said
that at times he had carried out as many as he could
get in the back of his automobile.
He further stated that as soon as these catalogues
were distributed they would begin ordering. He
said large orders were given almost every day as a
result of this advertising campaign.
What argument can a business inan offer that it
doesn't pay to advertise when a Chicago mail order
house sends more than a thousand miles after it,
and what is more, GE IS 11 ?

1 he local merchant can reach five thousand families
here in Sumter county by using this paper, whereas
this Chicago mail order house only reaches a few
hundred. The local business man can reach them
every day with a NEW MESSAGE and a much
lower cost than the Chicago concern. ,
One Americus merchant who uses the Times-Re
corder liberally will tell you that it pays him to
advertise and pays him well.
Ile has built his business from a tiny, insignificant
store until he now has one of the most prosperous
establishments in this entire section. Fie started
with little capital and it certainly can’t be said that it
was luck, because there is no such thing in business.
He did it by advertising and if you’ll ask him he’ll
tell you so.
II you want business, you must tell the people what
you have. You must keep your name before them.
That old argument that people know where you are
will not do.
They know where hades is, but nobody wants to go
there because it has been advertised as an undesira
ble place.
Advertise your stores as desirable. Keep your name
in the minds of the people and when they want
goods they will go there.
—and yet some people say
advertising doesn’t pay.

CHATS WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN
Do you always have your gas *
range oven well heated before
using? You should do so for
both the baking and broiling (
ovens. eTn minutes is an aver- i:
age allowance for the baking i
over and five minutes for the
broiling oven. ;
This method involves no I
waste of gas, because if food is j
placed in a cold oven, the 1
i cooking will take ujst so much j
longer; besides, the results will
I not be so good. If the recipe '
j calls for a moderate oven, re- i
duce the flame one-half at the
end if ten minutes. For a quick
oven, keep burners lighted dur- |
ing all or nearly all of the bak- ,
ing.
. . i
I Also bear in mind that it is i
better to bake in tin pans in
stead of sheet iron or agate >
pans. The iron absorbs the J
heat and is more liable to burn
‘he contents at the bottom and
sides before the baking is done.
You mak not have noticed this
i in using the coal range, but the j
i heat of the gas range is much
i more intense and direct.

Sage Tea and Sulphur Tunjp
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy/
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which Is mussy and troublesome. I
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ‘'Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound.” You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one Biiiall
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes <
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's-Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or preventfoh Os
disease. > ’ ■ • >
