Newspaper Page Text■ The Modern Way to Sell Goods Trade conditions are changing mightily from the old wavs. It used to be that the retail salesman had to do a lot of introductory and educational work—had to spend much time showing various goods and explaining their merits. Now all this preliminary work is done before the customer goes to the store—clone by advertising. Staples of high quality, as well as novelties, are adver tised by name, brand or trade-mark, their uses and merits are made known through newspapers, and the consumer is thoroughly familiar with their value aud desirability when the, need for them arises. And people buy the goods they know by name and reputation in preference to unknown, unadvertised arti cles. The dealer finds them easier to sell, therefore the ' jobber has a better demand for them. Thus the manu facturer who advertises his wares to the consumer creates a demand that,the denier and jobber must sup ply with his goods and no other. The manufacturer who uses this newspaper reaches the best consumers in this locality, reaches them when they have time to consider his claims for their patronage and reaches them through a medium that helps him with its own influence. The Masspngale Advertising Agency, of Atlanta, Ga., can help any manufacturer in the prepa ration and placing of convincing advertising matter. CAPTAIN BURTON SMITH VOLUNTEERS FOR RESCUE AND FINDS MISSING BOi Burton Smith, captain and adjutant ot the Fifth Georgia regiment, volun teered for the rescue corps Saturday night. He responded to a call for as sistance and saved a wanderer In dis tress. The Marietta and Peachtree corner was as crowded at 8 o’clock Saturday night as It always Is at that hour. A nasty, driizllng rain did not Improve the spirits of pedestrians. Certainly It did not serve to cheer the heart of Lewis Stewart Mayo, who was tired of the crowd, tired of the streets and the clanging street car that kept him dodg ing. tired of electric lights and wet pavements, and anxious to go home-to supper. Lewis Stewart Mayo Is not as big as his name. He Is almost eight, but he hasn’t grown very tall even In those years. He had his home at 83 Harris street early In the morning. But where he went and what he saw Is a sealed book. Lewis Is not loquacious. Captain Smith was swinging along, turning an eye toward Decatur street lest there should be occasion for an other call for troops. He heard some body softly crying and looked down. It was a long way from the big cap tain’s eyes to the tear-bedlmmed blue ones of Lewis Stewart Mayo, but their glances met half way and that made ! It easier. Lewis’ head reached to the captain’s knees. His troubles climbed straight to the captain’s heart. "What’s the matter, my boy?” asked ( aptnln Smith. “Are you lost?’* The little fellow cried all the harder. The captain tried new tactics. "Where do you Jive, son?” he asked. More tears. Then Police Sergeant Shepard came by and stopped to drlv the crowd away. "This Is a case of strategy,” remarked the captain. He picked up the little fellow and sought the nearest soda fountain. Under the Influence of cho colate Ice cream and cake Lewis Stew art Mayo forgot Ills tears and his ap petite Indicated that he had missed both dinner and supper. But he pre served his attitude of reticence and de clined to talk, either for publication or as an evidence of good faith. "Well, I guess It’s up to the police station," said the captain. And to the station they went. There they found that Mr. and Mrs. Mayo had been keeping the telephone busy with ap peals to the police to find their prodigal son. The afternoon papers hud carried the story of Ills disappearance and in a short time Denis Stewart was restored to his own fireside. But what Lewis did during^ twelve hours of hobo life will never be known until lie chooses to tell: Maybe he’ll tell his mother lomo day, but one thing Is certain—he won’t tell any one else.
