EDITORIAL
ON SMALL TOWNS
“I would rather be first in the
smallest village of Etruria than se-
» said Julius Caesar,
cond in Rome,
Roman Em-
world conqueror and
peror of more than 2,000 years ago.
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 |

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.

A Message of Real Importance to Mount Joy
Women and Misses About to Invest In a
New Winter Coat
The Garvin Store Anmounces a Manufacturer's Ualoading Sale of the
Choicest Winter Coats at 1-3 to 1-2 Less than Eatlier Prices
To these we have added several hundred Coats from Regular
Stock and Reduced them in Price to Correspond with the New
Low Prices in this Great Sale.
Considerably over a Thousand Newly Made Coats—tailored by some of our best
coat makers and of very fine materials—the majority with large fur collars and many
with cuffs to match.
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.
We have divided them into six price groups for easy selection and quick selling.
