Dear Ur. Harris:
K-
We are inclosing herewith.contract for advertising for
the year 1953.
Our schedule was started, you will recall, the first of
July, 1952, at which time you were given a contract for six
months, this being on an experimental basis. We have found
that the advertising has been successful far beyond our expec
tations, and to such an extent that we are glad to be able to
continue it for the full year of 1953.
AP
We believe our company is the first concern of any kind
that has ever run a regular schedule of advertising in every
paper, daily and non-daily, in South Carolina. We are delighted
to toll you that during that six-months period Capital Life has
shown not only the greatest growth of any similar period of its
history, but that it made a greater increase than in any entire
year during the 17 years it has been in existence.
We feel that the papers of the state have done & great
job, and we wish to give your paper full credit for the part
it played in this great achievement. We also desire to thank
you for the fine cooperation you have given us, and to assure
you that we appreciate everything you have done to help our
advertising to be effective.
With the very best of wishes for your happiness and suc
cess during 1953,
ister L. Bates
President
