And to this day most active and vigorous men hold the same atti- tude toward life in small towns. Nowdays people say: “I would yather be a big tead in a little puddle than a little toad in a big puddle.” A COUNTY AFFAIR Mount Joy can feel flattered that it has been favored by the Lan- easter county Corn and Tobacco show which will be held in the for- mer market house here January 16 and 17, 1925. This show should attract a great deal more attention than did our Community Exhibit last fall as that was a local affair while this show will be a representa- tion of the entire county. Everybody should assist in this movement and show other towns in the county just what Mount Joy can and will do. The show will be held under the direction of the Lancaster County Farm Bureau and under the auspices of the First National Bank of this place. THE CONSUMER BENEFITS No intelligent man today ques- tions whether or not advertising pays. It must pay or the most successful business men in Ameri- ea would not spend millions upon millions of dollars in telling the public about the goods they sell. But does it pay the consumer. ia a question frequently asked. It certainly does. It pays the consumer by giving him information about the mer- chandise he is going to buy. If ke knows more about the goods he will need, he can make his money go farther. . But it pays him more indirectly __#4 because it “isthe cheapest, and most efficient agency for selling goods that has ever been disco- vered. Sales expense is a big jtem that enters into the price of any article. If the company must maintain a corps of salesmen on the road, spend huge sums of money in railroad fare, in hotel bills and jn inflated salaries, it must charge more for the commodity. But if it can reach its of people through the pages newspapers at a very small fraction of a cent per person, it can sell | the article cheaper, ¢ Many a company has changed ‘its policy from selling through | agents to selling direct by means | of advertising. And if the right kind of advertising was used, these companies have always been able | to cut their prices. This is but one of a great many, ways in which advertising actually | article to | = cheapens the cost of the the consumer. FARM RELIEF The other day a prominent leader in agricultural work gave a talk | by radio. He wasn’t trying to get votes, money, or support of any | kind from the farmer and so he simply told the truth. Thousands | of letters and cards from all parts | of the United States came in to him during the following week. | This made it evident that he sound- ed out the opinions of most pro- gressive farmers. “Agricultural conditions,” he said, “can be improved in two ways: by economical production and by scientific marketing.” Don’t fall for everything because it is called co-operative,” he said. “But keep an open mind toward those marketing enterprises which seek to get your product to the consumer in a more efficient way than it is now getting there. If the project sounds businesslike, if the promoter talks as though he knows something about business— if the plan of distribution is simi- lar to those plans which have al- ready been successful, then it may He well to lend your support. “You will have a long wait, however,” he added’ .“if you are looking for relief through the growth of co-operative marketing enterprises. In the mean time it might be well to test your seed corn and raise your production from eighty or ninty bushels to the aereé to two or thres hundred bush- els.. Then you can make as much as you are making now by cultivat- ing less land and doing less work. get into a. cow testing associa- and get rid of the unprofitable or learn to cull your flocks, raise only the hens which market by talking to thousands and millions of | {urday evening at the home of Mr. RHEEMS The Brubaker Meat Market has up for business at again opened Year| oir usual reasonable prices.

Just another Garvin achievement in the bringing down of Women’s Apparel Prices is emphasized by this— THE BIGGEST COAT EVENT HELD THIS SEASON We call it a Manufacturer’s Unloading Sale because several makers found them- selves in a position where they were compelled to realize cash and to get it quickly— unfortunate for the maker but fortunate for you and us as we secured coats at ridie- uleusly low figures and you can buy them in the same way.
