CONYERS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24,1929 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF ROCKDALE COUNTY Advertising ™ Results Selling advertising is different from taking orders for advertising. To sell advertising one must sell an idea and there are ideas hack of successful advertising that every successful ad vertising salesman thoroughly under stands. There are three major purposes of advertising, and these apply to practi cally all forms of business announce ments that are made for the purpose of selling merchandise. The first of these is to secure as large a percentage as possible of the business that already exists, and for which a demand has already been cre ated. For example: There is a de mand for work shoes and many pairs of them are being sold in a communi ty each year. People who need them are going to buy, and the only ques tion is as to where they will buy. The merchant advertises work shoes to get his share of this business. The second purpose of advertising is to create a demand for merchandise that does not already exist, or to in crease a demand. In a community there may lie a small demand for can dy. It is the problem of the dealer in candy to make more people want candy, and to make those who are al ready buying want more candy. Ad vertising will create such a demand, and the demand once created will continue long after the advertising may have been forgotten. The third purpose of advertising is to market merchadise on which tln-rc is the widest margin of profit. The successful merchant would not spend so much money in advertising sugar on which there is a very small mar gin of profit and for which the de mand already exists, unhss he was using sugar as a leader to attract customers to his store in the hope of silling them other tilings. But lie might, for example, very profitably advertise stuffed olives on which ther is a long profit, and on which, kwhen the demand had once been cre Honey Creek News * Mr. and Mrs. Will Hammock of At lanta spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hammock.

If your glass es need changing, don’t fail to see him Friday, August 2nd. ate r, he would continue to make a long profit. , Advertising that is of the greatest value to the merchant is that which creates an entirely new demand for merchandise. From such advertising the merchant continues to reap a pro fit on every sale that is made. For example: The merchant advertises stuffed olives, and from that adver tising lie creates a demand on (lie part of hut five families for stuffed olives. These families continue to buy stuffed olives for a unrulier of vears, and all because the product was introduced to them through the first advertising. Over a period of years that advertis ing lias been responsible for possibly several hundred sales. It is these purposes in advertising that are considered by the men res ponsible for producing advertising services. They realize that the suc cessful merchants arc those who arc striving to create new demands for merchandise or to sell those things on which they make the larger profit, and the more practical services are prepared with those two ideas as the dominating features of tlie service. Publishers render a real service to their merchants when they sell the merchants the idea of advertising that will create new demands for merchan dise. In communities where that is being done tin* merchants are prosper ing, the business /of the community is growing. The merchants of the larg er towns, and in the great majority of the eases those in the smaller towns as well, have recognized this important factor in advertising and are profiting from it. In the cases win re it is not being done il is be cause the publisher is merely taking orders for advertising, and is not ac tually selling advertising. Such puli Ushers have failed to recognize the most important purposes of advertis ing, and are not rendering the service they could, and should, to their com munities, and to themselves. Methodist News The Methodist church congregation was much pleased lasi Sunday to have a young minister to preach at tin morning hour from the Smyrna camp working force, Rev. Hollingsworth The sermon was an exposition of the first verse of the second chapter of He brews, “Therefore we ought to giv< the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest hoply we drift away from them.” He said that we are in danger of drifingt away from revealed truth, because of neglect of the counsels of wisdom, the word of God and prayer. We are also in danger of drifting for lack of a definite goal tor life jnd be cause of the strong currents that run across the course of safety. The sermon was a thoughtful and pleasing message. At the evening service the pastor discussed “ some of the elements o/ a great life,” as illustrated by Mo ses, ‘‘My faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to he called the son of a Pharaoh's daughter.” First the element of faith, then of courage to do what he believed was right, then of good judgment in that lie had respect unto tlie* reward that awaited a noble*life. At the conclu sion of the service the pastor’s grand gon( Robert Shockley, joined the church. Next Sunday. July 28. the pastor purposes to preach in the morning on: “The harvest of Unbelief.” and in the evening on ’’The harvest of Faith.” The summer season is proving to he full of interest. We are enjoying vis its of some of our members who are with us but little. 0. K. Gailey, llu lon Morris and John H. Hewlett and others. We are delighted to meet and know John H's bride and we wish for this newly married couple a long life, filled with good things.

Dempsey) Three excellent Third Quarterly Conferences were held last week end for East Putnam Circuit al Union, Milledgeville Circuit at Bethel, and Gray Circuit al Hiuldock | Pastors and people everywhere throughout the Oxford District seem to lie striving to make the Third District Conference very successful in each charge. Tills is wise ns it will make the closing up of our year’s work comparatively easy. Revival services are under way throughout the District and very en couraging reports come from all of them. , Ministers, missionaries, and special workers in lines of religious effort nearly always are the fruits of revivals. It has lieen observed by se cral lately that we are having very few such fruits at Ibis time in the Oxford District. There is one im portant suggestion made by Jesus in this connection: “Pray ye the Lord of the harvest that He will trust forth laborers into this harvest.” Let ev ery praying one add this item to his prayers among both pastors and Iso lde and I am sure this deficiency in our record will be corrected. A pleasing feature of the summer in the cities and villages of the Dis trict and Interdenominational Sunday evening services. This is an annual custom that carries with it many very pleasant features as well as many valuable blessings. Chief among these perhaps is the increase of the spirit of mutual understanding and brother linens. Rev. J. O. Brand, our pastor at Monticello. employs an unusual meth od of announcing the approaching Sunday services. He gives the title of the sermon* as, for example, ‘The Garden of tile Sluggard.” Then lie raises questions and sometimes hull cates lines of thought, which prepare the minds of itis congregation to enter at on -e into his discussion on the fol lowing Sunday. By way of example, on the above topic he says: “It is a propitious time to discuss tins ques tion. A goodly number of our gar liens are going to the bow-wows since the weather lias gotten exceedingly warm, still 1 am afraid some of us keep our gardens in better shape that we do ourselves. You know! Come to clniri-li next Sunday.” Other pus tors may find Ibis method to do for them what it lias for the Monticello charge—increase the Interest and size of ftie congregation.
