THE UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE. GA., NOVEMBER 14, 1929
THETOWNDOCTOR
(THE DOCTOR OF TOWNS)
A ft w year.- ago the people of MH-
Icdpeville and surrounding territory
HAD to buy from you, or go without.
As you know only too well, that is
not now the case. Good roads and
motor cars, magazines, metropolitan
papers and radios, plus free mail de
livery, has changed ull that.
Today peopit can get anything they
need or want, from whom and whence
they please—net only
Tie

In practically every community we
hear: “Outside advertising is entic
ing our people”—“competition of
combines is taking our business.”
Maybe this is true, but what are you
As an excuse and alibi for lack of
business, thousand-, of merchants say,
“People don't buy like they used
to.” That is absolutely true—people
don't liuy as they used to.
But how about you—do you still
sell “like you used to?” Why should
people stick to the old, humdrum,
weekly ‘ tradin'.” when shopping and
buying are now made such a pleas
ure? Why go to a funeral when a
festival is on?
If other «tores invite the people
and give them a rea-on why they
should buy from them, of course your
customers are going to accept the
invitation at lenst once. Then, if
those extending the invitation sell
and serve the repeated invitation.
You would do it yourself under simi
lar circumstances.
Still, the average man and woman,
by far the majority of the people in
Milledgeville, would rather do busi-
ners with you, and they will do busi
ness with you if you will profit by
the experience of others. That is
not idle talk, but a fact based on
human nature, bucked up by actual
proof obtained from the people them
selves in every section of the coun
try. But, you must have a “reason
why" and that reason must be kept
before all of the people ali of the
Say to yourself, “Why do people
buy elsewhere?” As yourself, “Why
shoul-j the people Milledgeville buy
fsom me what I have to sell, in pref
erence to my competitor "
Answer both of these questions—
they must be nnswerod not only to
youlself, but to your customers if
you are going to continue in busi
ness and keep out of the red.
Business goes to the place where
it is invited—you can’t expect busi
ness if yon don’t ask for it.
Business s'.ays at the place where
it is well treated, backed up with an
invitation to continue the pleasure
of such treatment.
Business comes back to the place
where it is served best and where the
invitation to profit from such service i
is kept constantly in the forefront.
Your newspaper is your ally—use
it.

aid they are rendering. Their gen
erosity enables me to place in the
hands of nearly seven hundred men
and women under my care here
every week a wealt'i of Religious
litoarture, the finest that the press-
os of America produce. I have
come to regard this as one of the
most helpful influences that touch
the lives of those who are shut in
here. It will take all eterrity to
show what the harvest will be from
this rowing.

II the magazines that are left un

The Milledgeville Times, a secu
lar weekly, sends us ten copies of
that paper, which enables us to
place a copy in each of the four
dormitories and six sick wards. The
Wcpieyan Mehtodis^ Atlanta, Ga..
sends a copy of the Advocate to the
male camp every week. The Bap-
ti-t church sends us each week six
copies of The Christain Index,
which I place in each of the ■ ix sick
wards, with instruction that they
be passed on to the dormitories
when read. The Ajfori/dic Faith,
Portland, Oregon send us regularly
thirty copies of that paper, while
the Salvation Army, Atlanta. Gn.,
which has sent us every week six
ccp’cs of The War Cry. has just
notified me that from now on they
will send me fifty copies every
week—value over two hundred fifty
dollar, a year.
I have the highest appreciation of
the interest tlic-c friends are taking
in our work hen*, and the sp’cndid

All of these have voluntarily
joined The “State Farm Religious
Association.” The only church we
have to offer them, and which is:
“A Company of men and women,
banded together to study The Word
of God, pray together; and help
each other work out their salvation.”
They have also joined The “Pocket
Testament League,” which 1s: “A
company of men and A'omen, who
make it the rule of their life to
read the word of God daily, and to
carry’ a copy of the- Bible or The
New' Testament with them.”
Two weeks ago when I came out
from the Sunday afternoon services
at the female camp with ten women
and girls pledged for Christain liv
ing, the warden—who is always with
me in the service .---said: “If all the
women and girls here would do
this, and mean it we would have no
trouble with discipline.”
During the nearly seven years
that it has been my privilege to
Iscrve as Ctyiplain of The Prison
Farm; one thousand, five hundred
and eightv-three men and women
have accepted Christ as their per
sonal Saviour and lined up for ser
vices in His Kingdom.
Twenty-seven have died during
the year, thirteen of whom were
electrocuted, making a total of
forty-nine person? who have died in
the Electric Chair since it was
placed at The State Farm.
Respectfully submitted.

Constipation Troubled Alabama
Lady Until She Had Taken
Black-Draught, Then ;
Felt Fine.
Florence. Ala—‘Tor two years, I
suffered with pains in my bock and
head," writes Mrs. J. E. Sloan, 810
Park Street, tills city.
“I felt dull all tlie time, and was
not able to do anything.
“I was constipated most of tho
time. My complexion was bad and
I had no appetite.
“An old lady advised my father
to give mo Black-Draught. As
quick as she told him. he got it for
me. I took Black-Draught three
times a day for three weeks, and I
began to feci like a different per
son. I developed a good appetite;
the poison left my system, and I
felt fine.
“I theught my trouble came from
constipation, and as soon as tlic
cause was removed, I got all right.
“Since that time, I hove tried to
keep a box of Black-Draught in the
house, ns I find it corrects bilious
ness and relieves sick headache. It
is our family medicine.”
Constipation dams up poisons in
body.
At tho first sign of constipation,
take Thedford’? Black-Draught.
