Tlic Value ol' AdverUsiiit. diaries Austin Hates, who makes a specialty <>l his "short talks'' on hdvertlslng has the following to say on the subject: Don't expect the newspapers to do It all. Look out lor the show window and the cases and counters. When you advertise something of special Interest lu the papers (ill the window with It and have it prominently displayed in the store. Have some neat tickets painted and hum: up abov? or near the goods. He sure the clerks all kuow what Is going on. If I were running a store I would make the first rule that every clerk should read every advertisement every day. I would have them understand Just what I was trying to do with each advertlsemet?just what the goods were and where they came from and how they happened to be so cheap or so good or both. "The newspaper is sometimes blamed for the 111 successor an advertisement, when the real lault Is the store. "Don't ever expect spasmodic advertising to pay. Pont ever let au issue of a paper you are using appear without your advertisement. "The day you leave the advertisement out. will probably be the very day on which somebody will look for It and, not finding it, go to a competitor. "This last advertisement of a series Is the one that sells the goods. A man may see your advertisement thirty days In July and not buy till the thirty-first advertisement welds conviction into his mind. "It's the last stroke that makes a horseshoe; all the others were merely preparatory. The shot* was not a shoe till the last blow fell. "If that had not been given It would only be a semblance of a shoe?merely a bent piece of Iron. "A sale is secured by the last word that is spoken?hy the last advertisement that. Is reail. If it remained unspoken or unread the sale would often fall entirely. "Advertising Is insurance ol business, but you must keep up the premiums or the policy will lapse."

Lorn ax PROSPEROOS CITIZENS. in By Industry and Ihc Application of BiiNinesN Methods 1*. B. Speed In (jetting Rich?Other .Men. ^ Some eighteen years ago Mr. P. B. Speed 2 came lrom a farm iu the country to clerk in iineoftlie stores'in Abbeville. He brought, with him neither money nor business exp?~* | rience, but he soon began to acquire both. * i After serving a time as salesman he bought J the drug store which lie now owns. In tils history has been exemplitled the old saying: * "Keep thy shop and it will keep thee." Being . endowed with natural ability, and uossesslng great, energy, and the power to hold to what j he made, be is steadily Increasing his estate, ? while by his courteous bearing and kindness p j to every body he is steadily growing Id pnbir" lie lavor, until now he is one of the promi* | nent men of the town, and Is a consplclous | example of the success which a poor boy may | win at Abbeville. This Is one of tbe best towns In the Stale to recognize true merit, I u/hiirpuBP It mjiv hp found, mid lu 1111 Dluce ix I the right baud of fellowship extended more i cordially to the struggling poor boy than In I Abbeville. Aud uo town can show a greater in ' number of successful 4-oung men than Abbe, i vllie. ,* | As just stated. Mr. Speed's first venture was , I in tbe drug business. He has been a success I from the first, and his house is one of the ip I strong drug establishments In the upcountry. I After getting his store well under way he >e bought the elegant dwelling once owned by ; the late James I). Chalmers. It is one of the rs nicest houses in town, and is beautifully lur. > ulnbed. kL He bought the brick building In which the ! post office is kept and paid tbe cash for it. " He bought aconslderable number of shares e< j In the farmers bank. The stock holders ap,e ' predated his ability as a business man, and : confiding in his integrity, ?lected him dlrece' tor In the bank several years ago, which . i place he still holds. J His last purchase was the store room reticently owned, and now occupied by Mr. u i James M. Lawson, as tinner and dealer In * ! stoves, tin ware aud lancy articles. For this e I last puichase he paid ?.0.500 in cash. He will | continue in business at his old stand, and ,0 i Mr. Lawson will still stay where he has been ., lrom tbe first. 111 In speakiugof the successful men of AbbeI ville, tbe career of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Had" | don is worthy of note. Mr. Haddon line Mr. ?' Speed came to town with no mercantile ex, : perlence, aud spent some years as salesman. After he married, he and Mrs. Haddon ~ put up a millinery store, and their Success x has been most gratifying. They own one of the largest and most elegant lots in town, on " which tliey have built a large and comraodlous dwelling in one of tbe Handsomest de B signs In arch ltectuee. They own their large and splendid store now ; bave a large stock s* of goods, wltb plenty of ready casb to dlscount bills. Besides tbis they own large ! 1" blocks of stock in both the National and Far5* iners Banks, and bave outstanding money ! . secured by mortgages on furms. Tbe firm is ~ rich and solid, and owe no man aaytb ing but " good will. , Some two or three years ago l)rs. Harrison ' and Game went Into tbe drug business. . r" Their prosperity bas been uninterrupted, and . iheir business is increasing as the months go 11 by. Dr. Harrison Is prospering right straight along. He bas a fine practice, and his store makes money every year. But we started out with no Intention of mentioning any other name than that of Mr. Speed. If we were to wiite of all the prosperous men in town, we would fill u large space in our paper. We have other firms that are prosperous and growing in public j ' favor and financial strength. Abbeville is a . I good place for men of energy and business 1 tact. Economy and application to business will tell at Abbeville, and we have as large a ;l per cent of men pf good financial standing as j" can be found anywhere. 1 BACK HOME. ( ; " e i.
