How The Home Paper Helps
(From Atlanta Constitution)
The story of a successful Georgia
merchant of a small country town
is told in a paragraph quoted in
the Tifton (Ga.) Gazette.
“This Georgia merchant, paying
his local merchant $i ,rxx> a year for
advertising, has grown immensely
rich while giving his customers tlie
very best service. The local editor
refers to him in a recent article as
•a Christian and a gentleman’
wc are prepared to maintain that
he measures up to the full
ments of both. He advertises in
his home paper, not only because
it pays to advertise, but also be¬
cause that paper is the strongest
factor in upholding every moral
issue in the community.”
The $1,000 a year invested by
the local merchant in advertising
his business in a small town may
have seemed a pretty big invest¬
ment at first. Perhaps he led all
the other merchants in that outlay !
Hut he got big results front it.
which enabled him to be a greater
factor in the upbuilding of the in
t.itutions of his community—espe¬
cially in standing by the home pa¬
per that was working for and with
him, whole-heartedly, for the good
of town and people.
As the paper helped him, he
helped otharg.
He knew that the home paper
gave infinitely more than it receiv¬
ed in value of service"; so that is
why he became a worker with it
for the good of the community.
And that is why the honest, en
te>prising citizens of every town
and county are loyal to tiieir home
papers.
The paper puts the town on the
map, and once there, they work to
keep it there, where it cannot af¬
ford to make less than a fine, pro¬
gressive showing.
