THE VIDALIA ADVANCE N. C. NAPIER, Editor «nd Publisher. 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. x 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. x The farmer of South Georgia is setting a fine example to a lot of us. He’s gone to work. NOTICE.

DONALDSON. 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.” x 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- THE VIDALIA ADVANCE, VIDALIA GEORGIA B.
