For some lime the Farmers' Union ol South Carolina has been looking Into the leahlbllit} of establishing a cotton school on their owl. account, not knowing that Clemson College was already well equipped for this purpose. Now, It is no news to tbe up-to-date cotton grower to tell bim tbat beyond doubt tbie state looses annually enough cotton mou?> on arbitrary grading to build a warehouse at most of tbe shipping stations in the slate. This thing of trusting tbe grading and ciasxt fylug cotton to tbe ordinary two-by-four "cotton slasher" of the country must go with tbe . privilege of prlcelng our oolton. We must get up some real good expert cotton graders, or classifyers tbat do tbis work from the standpoint of the requirements ol - tbe mills, and out out tbis Imposition of tbe ' common so-called expert cotton graders who are more on tbe order of expert lyars than they are tbe classllyers of cotton. I call lor a committee from tbe union to go to Clemson and look into tnis cotton scbocl question there and let the people know how it is. Tbe click, click, of the bucket shop telegraph hammer may be dead, but the "cotton bureau" has be <n born In a number of plaoes where the buck<tl shops use to thrive. Since the bucket eliops have died out and over a thousand cotton warehouses have oome up like toad stools in almost a night, cottou bears are not making for tall timber like some thought, but on tbe contrary they quit the town offices and gone out into tbe country cotton patches trying a new game mere, 10 uuj oouuu ueiurp it im uiaus iu uiuci to Keep the collou out of thtu?e safety vaults, the cotton warehouses.

The first thinir to eet fixed in vour iml is that money judiciously spent advertising is an investment, and )t an expense. That the benefits derived from ad>rtising a legitimate business or tide are cumulative?the money insted today builds business that will me back to you in profits tomorrow, ?xt week, next month and next ;ar. It will not all come back in a bunch ly more than the money you invest a plant for the manufacture of ?ods. You may invest a hundred mars in a pianc tuac win iura uui e beet goods in the world, but if >u don't sell the goods, or enough of e goods at a fair profit, your investent is practically lost. It will not be 1 lost because there is a certain value machinery, etc., that you will not se enttrely. It will bring a price as d iron, if nothing else. If you own a good plant and manucture a good article, and you should end twenty-five thousand dollars for iod advertising, it would be abBoluteimpossible for you to lose all your oney. If your goods are good and >ur advertising is good you will esblish a call for your article that will entually pay back your investment, by chance it does not pay it all back >u could not possibly lose as much as iu would upon a plant which for me reason failed to make itself pay it. All concerns who advertise are not ccessful. Neither are all successful ncerns advertisers. But at the presit day, when competition is so fierce id the average run of goods are sold most exclusively upon price, and the ice so low that at times the manucturer does not get back the actual st of his goods, there is little satisction in carrying the risk and the >rry of a manufacturing business. However, advertising as practiced day, offers to some one or two conrns in a line the opportunity to eak away from the mass of cutters id! so establish the call for his goods at" the element of competition is actically eliminated. He can set his ice far enough ahead of the average the market ?o that he can afford to it bis goods out in more attractive yle; he can give the dealer a better ofit than he can make on other >ods; he can make a surer and better ofit for himself; he can win back aloet any reasonable amount spent in vertisinsr, and besides can add a ,lue to bis plant that it would not tve otherwise if he stayed in business r a hundred years. Every manufacturer who makes a sjitimate line of goods will get a cerin amount of business anyway. And his goods are a little better tban tbe erage, or if his regular business ethods are a litile better than others, s trade will probably increase a lit) every year whether he advertises not. Many a man takes a conditio* of is sort as an indication that his pariular business does not need adveriing. This may be true. This contion may be entirely satisfactory to m. It certainly is a happy condi>n. But no man can deny that these me conditions are a sure and unquesmable indication that if business is fproperly advertised it surely )uld grow much faster, and in nine nine cases in a hundred the good's aniifflntnred would brincr a higher ice and consequently a better nflt. One of tbe thoughts that occurs to rat men when considering: an adverement proposition for the first time that they would be willing to invest advertising all of the the profits ade upon their goods for the first [ months or year. That is all very ill. It is a liberal thought. But in vertising it in the same as in estabisbing a manufacturing business, ifore you can begin to make goods u have to have a plant. This means investment of anywhere from one liar to one million or more dollars fore the first article cau be turned t for the market. If (he conditions are right the outit of the plant begins to pay oft' the vestment in email installments at ce and to pay interest on the investsnt in the way of dividends to the >ckholders. But .the investment the pUat is a necessary forenner to the profiits. The same with advertising. An instment must be made before a procan be realized. The amount of e investment and the time that is reured must necessarily vary with the nditions. In advertising strictly (itimate lines it is possible in some 9es to make the advertising begin to ow a profit inside of three months, i other cases it will take six months a year and sometimes longer. The element of time is always regu:ed by the amount and kind of adrtising done, the desirability of the ods advertised, and the magnitude f ho nHvartiairicr nnmnetit.inn In that rticular line. If you werejgoingto marketjby gener advertising an article that already id two or more advertibing competes, for instance, rolled oats, soap .king powder, etc., you would be up ainst a very bard proposition. One at would take a large amount of pital and a very uncertain length time. You would have to start in a tailender and fight for everything >u wanted. This would be true even ough the your article possessed un>ubted advantage over everything of e kind on the market. In this case e situation is simply that you have wait a longer time for your adveriing investment to begin to pay divisnds and that the dividends are swer in the beginning than they UUJU uc 11 it ncic uuv lui iuc culujjcuion you are obliged to meet. Persistence in the right kind of adjrtising will, if your article is whashould be, in time overcome the obacle presented by competion and ing sufficient profit to make ie investment a profitable one. There no question about this, as it ia being jne every day. In order to market a new product i lines which seem to be pretty thorighly covered by those who are lead of you in the field you mustnecis-arily have considerable capital here making a beginning of any sort, our food product, for instance, enters field already well filled with good iods well advertised. Tbe public has become used to these lods and it may be presumed to be ell pleased with them. Their merits re known. The quality of your goods unknown. When people beoome joroughly fa miliar with a certain artlie they are not very strongly inciln1 towards making experiments and ou with your new food must expeot >nsiderable difficulty in Inducing any ' L? I # i" 308iaer&Die UUIUUCI VI yeuyic iu viy without the expenditure of considerbie money and persistent advertising, f the returns are profitable at once or .. * I * : .. r*&"' >'*" .. ? : T 1 within & itieH tlih?j It uhews clearly that you have a product of much merit or that your advertising is particularly good or both, You should, however, be awake to the prob? ability that considerable time must elapse before your advertising invest* merit will begin to pay dividends. Many a good article has gone wrong because its producer did not have enougn money to Keep oo pusmng ? until success came. Tbie is tbe question for forethought an d not fot afterthought. It should not be supposed, though, that the expenditure of a large sum of money covering considerable time is wasted because returns are slow. All of this advertising money?if spent in good advertising?is simply an investment. It is a slow investment under the circumstances, but it is none the less sure. Tbe advertising you are doing is educational and its results will come in time. Every advertisement in a good medium is one more public lesson in your educational campaign. All the good words j*ou say for your pro. duct are making an impression on thft nnhlln minH nnrl that Imnrwwinn will in due course of time mean dollars and cents to you. Wheu the time of success arrivts all the advertisiug you have done will show its cumulative effect When the publio really tabes hold of your goods it will not be the advertising you are then doing that brings the results, but the cumulative effects of the advertising you have been doing and which dla not at that time seem to be producing any results whatever. The suddenness with which the public attitude towards an article changes is Very surprising. Many a man marketing an article has gone on for considerable length of time unable to get paying results lor his advertis> ing or to induce the pub lic to take him seriouslv. He has gone on bccauBe he bad the courage of bis convictions and knew that his article was good and that his advertising was good. After a long time and when everything seemed to look darker than over the whole face of the situation changes and from an attitude of absolute indifference the public veers around and demands this particular product in large quantities. The man who keeps on until this time arrives is the man who succeeds. The man who gets discouraged and quits very probably quits just before the time for nis success has arrived and all his work and bis money are wasted. This change on the part of the public simply shows that all people are about alike and that it takes all people just about a certain length of time to make up their minds to do a thing. It is surprising to see them do it all at once, but when you come to consider it in its true light, it is not so remarkable after all. T7? J-11 L 1M jLiYKiy uunur bpeut iu buvoiumug should be regarded as an investment and not an expenditure. If you have the right article and advertise it in the right way, that advertising investment will turn out all right in the end and the money will all come back bringing much more money with it.
