THE VIDALIA ADVANCE

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1921.
FAILURES NON-ADVERTISERS.
V-
For business men, here are nineteen words from
the Byron, Cal., limes:
“Eighty-four per cent of the business failures
of the past year occurred among firms which did
NOT advertise.”
Better than ever is the advice: “If your bus
iness is not worth advertising, advertise it for sale.”
Big proft on a sale changed to small profit and
jnanv sales are necessary. ()nly advertising, whit h
Is to business what oxygen is to the blood, can do
the work. —Atlanta Georgian.

A WORD OF WARNING.
Sheriff Culpepper asks us to call the attention
"t)f Motor vehicle owners to the necessity of pur
chasing license tags at once, and states that he has
on hand the necessary application blanks for order
ing these tags.
The law, it is true, allows until March Ist to
purchase new tags, and permits the use of the 1920
tags uj) to March Ist. However, the great bulk
of auto owners are delaying getting new tags, and
those who wait until the last of this month to
send in their application, will find that there will
be more or less of delay in receiving their tags.
The last week of the month will sec a perfect del
uge of applications in the office of the Secretary of
State in Atlanta and it will be humanly impossible
for license tags to be sent out promptly. No doubt
many an automobile will stay in the garage several
weeks in March waiting for a new tag, because the
owner put off until the last the matter of forward
ing his application.
After March Ist the sheriff will have his eye
peeled for all 1920 tags out on the road, and the
auto owner who goes out on the road without the
new pink-colored number runs a serious risk of be
ing heavily taxed for failure to obey the law.
The government has told Mercer to keep quiet.
Now somebody muzzle Stewart.

BANKS DO HELP.
In an editorial on how the hanks have helped,
and are continually helping, through co-operation
in times of financial .stress, the Jackson F’rogress-
Argus savs the country owes a debt of gratitude
to them.
“But for tlie banks business could not have
weathered the storm. The farmers have been
helped. The business world has ncen helped. The
hanks are a mighty bulwark of safety and this fact
is never appreciated more than during panic con
ditions. Don’t sneer at the banks and accuse them
of “holding up the people.” Co-operate with them
and they will co-operate with you.’
It is the banks, says the Atlanta Constitution,
that are one of the best factors in putting the small
est town “on the map;” it is the town’s best busi
ness recommendation at home and abroad, and bus
iness grows as the people co-operate wivvth their
financial institutions.
“The bridge that carries you over is the one
to count on.”

UNITY AND FAITH.
Commenting on the wonderfui growth of the
city of Moultrie, the Augusta Chionitle says that
Moultrie owes her splendid proggress to the unity
of her people and the faith they have in their home
town. fust a few years ago Moultrie was but a
town of a country store or two and a few barrooms.
'Today it is one of the most progressive-appearing
little cities in its part of the state, attractive in ev
ery way, with fine businesses; paved streets, pretty
homes; and known, far and wide, lor its enterprise
and success, which it has won in all that goes to
make up a growing and ambitiups center wheih is
bent upon further growth and realization of great
er ambitions.
And the Thomasville Times-Knterprise says:
“What did it? It was the people of Moultrie, those
who had money or got it to put it in Moultrie en
terprises, to build homes, to erect churches and
schools, to tax themselves to pay for pubic improve
ments. ”
Vidalia has been growing rapidly and can grow
even more rapidly. Her people have had a unity
of purpose and an abiding faith in the future of
their town, as shown by their handsome churches,
splendid school building, and many municipal im
provements. Her unsurpassed location has result
ed in a wonderfully rapid growth and the future
is bright for us if we do our part. We must con
iinue to stand by our school, do everything we can
to make our town more healthful and attractive,
and assist in every way in making the agricultural
interests of this section prosperous. And here, as
in Moultrie, unity and faith and an ambition to
make our town a go, will win for us and make
our town prosperous and a leader in this section of
the state-
