m 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 it froi whether they do do but you 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.

CHAPLAIN’S REPORT November 1, 1929. Tim Hon. Prison Commission, Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: Instead of a monthly or bi monthly report, 1 am submitting a report for the “Conference Year” now closing. I wiil send you my report for the “Cnlandar Year” January 1st, 1930. The number of publishing house?, editor* of periodicals and indi viduals who regularly send us litera ture has steadily increased until to day more than forty send us Bible?, books, booklets, ntagnzines, paper? anil religious tracts. The. 4 e friend? arc scattered all over the United States from Lakes to Gulf .and from ocean to ocean. 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. The, ave been ells” with hundred, and fjfty-seven service shave been held on this year, from November 8 t oOctobe^r thirty-first, 8 to October thirty-first, n held in the “Death condemned men. As a :Itj two hundred and The Indies from the churches it I Milledgeville continue to save am ollect magazines which they brir; c the prison, while Mr. R. 11 Vootten give us twice each mont: II the magazines that are left un sold 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 thirty-r publicly declared it to be their de- ire and purpose to live Christain 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.
