It Does Bay
To Advertise
/ ■ —
Mt. and Mrs. T.M. Austin loyal
citizens when they lived here, had
the Liberal forwsrded to their ad
dress when they moved tc Bain
bridge.
Monday they and their two
charming daughters, Misses Eura
Belle and Velma, vere here; and
the mother was having bundles
from Mr. B. H. Fudge's store
packed in their car. The sales
people explained proudly that
this family from Bainbridge fre
quently came over and shopped at
the Fudge Drygoods Store which
it using that proprietor and six
clerks.
For the last two years Mr. B
H. Fudge has paid ovt more money
for newspaper advertieeing than
all the other business men of the
town put to gether.
Newspaper advertising is stid
to obtain the best results
Sears, Roebuck & Co, are now
carrying "ads” in county weeklies
For years they depended princi
pally on catalogues and a few
cheap monthly periodicals; but
they have changed to the news
paper.
An advertiser benefits every one
of his customers and each business
enterprise in his home town.

The Board of Trade
There were about 40 residents
out Tuesday evening to bear Mr.
Bush, Sect’y of the Chamber of
Commerce in Bainbridge, enume
rate the advantage* of the com
bined efforts for progress of a num
ber of citizens. The addrtss was
excellent. The visitor was aocom

Bainbridge.
But, but—But the necessary in
terest to launch the Board of Tradi
•aeraed lacking.
Hundreds of toursia will pass
through here almost daily for the
next few weeks
A paved road from Dothan Ala.,
to Bainbridge with a concrete
bridge at Saffold to be completed
in the next few months, will cause
many tourists to come South over
the Alabama State Highway in
stead of coming over the Georgia
State Highway as they will do so
the next half a year,
The necessity for interesting
these travelers while they are pass
ing through caused some of the
loyal citizens to be eager to show
them through a well organized
Board of Trade the advantages of
Miller county and of Colquitt,
which is so ceutraily located with
in the county.
With its central location Col
quitt could be designated as "The
heart of Miller county.”
If, like Pelham, we had a cot
ton factory here, or like some
North Georgia towns, we had can
ning or pickling establishments
here, our farmers and truck grow
ers would do much better.
Yes, we need to interest men
who can control capital, those who

auditorium in bracing and stren
gthening the wooden structure,
aud keeping the auditorium It r use
during this jerm or until auotbir
new trick house or another au
can be erected.

rooms, till new ones could have
