Does Advertising Pay?
Annt.ton Evening Stnr.
One day last week a Brooklyn, N. Y.,
man placed a deposit of six million dol
lars on 12,000 automobiles he ordered
for 1916. Five years ago that man
owned $48, and that was all he did own
in the world. He had been h salesman
for an automobile company, and decided
to go in business for himself.
He got the agency for a car, and
then Btarted in to advertise, as he
knew he could not sell the car unless
people knew he had it for Bale. He
also knew he could not go around and
tell everybody that he wanted to Bell
a car or a car-load of cars, or a train
load,—but he did know that he could
tell them through the newspaper. So,
without any miBgivings, he took his $48
to the office of the Brooklyn Eagle and
asked the advertising man on that pa
per how he could spend it to best ad
vantage in advertising.
The advertising man went into the
matter, feeling that it waB up to him
to get results, and before 24 hours had
passed, after the first ad. appeared, the
agent had sold one machine at a profit
that paid for his advertising many
times. But did he stop there? Not if
he knew it. He wanted to keep in
business and be wanted hia business to
grow. He felt if one advertisement
would Bell one machine, more adver
tising would sell more machines, and
before long he was one of the best ad
vertisers in the Brooklyn Eagle—and
incidentally he was Belling more auto
mobiles than any other ageney in'
Brooklyn.
Hia name is C. T. Silver, and what
C. T. Silver haB done any automobile
agent or merchant in any other line of
business can do. It has been demon
strated time and time again that the
best results can only be obtained
through advertising.
The wise merchant, in making up
hie budget of proposed investments
for the cpming year, should not fail
to include a liberal outlay for adver
tising. Spent wisely, no ’money will
return better profits, and the money
set aside will prove that it will pay to
inveBt more in the same way. The
greater the advertising, the greater
the reBolts, may be set down as an
axiom.
"Johnny, I married your father be
cause he saved me irom drowning.”
"I’ll bet that’s why pop’s always toll
in’ me not to go in swimmin’.”
A hot temper warps a man's better
judgment.
OWN YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF OWE IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says J-f.’ G. Hastings
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—The cred
it system under which the agricultu
ral south works and stays poor is an
alyzed in a striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of t^ie
agricultural committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and a member of
the executive council of the South*
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
“Every season during the last fifty
years,” he says, “there has been trou
ble in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
hack of It is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their so-called cash crop—cot
ton. It is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.
“A cotton farmer’s debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants’ hooks
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually,.without
seriops interference with afcrojrVAPfcbttf
ton as large as he now makes.
,. “Thjetf tipqble is th,at : *
farmers owe their crop instead of
owning it when made. • - •
“The credit way looks the ei
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
“I have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section of
any country can he prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for its food supplies. What
is true of a state or section is thie
.of the individual farmer.
“The great exhibits of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give, the lie to the statement
that these thirigs cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
“A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an abund
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
“When we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store; we will own instead of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages.”
