THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION |
"With Cooperating Marketing almost
a sure thing, it would be well
for the merchant and banker to consider
what effect this will have on the
business of the towns and cities where
cotton has heretofore been sold on tht
streets from wagons and paid for, on
the spot. When the marketing plan
gets to doing business the farmer will
get his pay, at his own door, through
the mails. The town or city that keeps
in touch with the farmer through attractive
advertising will get his business.
He will have time to consider
well where he will buy his needs and
the newspaper will serve to inform
him where his dollar will go the
farthest. Mail order houses will be
on the job and will without a doubt
do a bigger business than ever before
because they will keep attractive advertising
in the hands of the farmer.
The banks in the different towns in
every section will have to keep their
names before the farmers or lose business.
The merchants will have to let
the farmer know he has the goods at
right prices.
The bankers and farmers of Cheraw
should begin now to prepare for a
change which is bound to come wit
the Cooperative Marketing plan by
advertising in a way that will make
the man behind the plow see that it
will be to his advantage to bank and
trade in Cheraw. Then be in position
to hold his trade when he starts getting
his money at home.

"We know our readers will welcome
several new advertisements in this issue.
"We all like to be invited to trade
with a firm because then we fee! that
our patronage is appreciated. After
all. an advertisement is just an invitation,
showing that a merchant will
appreciate our business and wants i'
enough to ask for it.
In his advertisements he tells you of
what he has for sale so that we ma:
know the line wherein he can serv<
"s. and invites us to his store to buy
Wouldn't you rather trade with th
place where you are invited to trad<
than with the one who fails to issue
you an invitation. Read our advertise
ments and buy your needs from thos?
who want your business . enough t(
ask for it.
ALL HONOR TO PUMPKIN PIE
fervid Admirer About Right When H?
Accords It First Place Among
the Season's Dishes.
Most of us easily, and. let us venture
to say, naturally, call it "punkln" pie,
but this?unintentionally, of course?is
the malevolence of mispronunciation.
There is no punk in pumpkin.
Pumpkin pie is a delectable. Some
of the scientists, or perhaps nearscientists,
say that fish is brain food.
If they would eat a couple of quarters
of pumpkin pie once a day for a week,
they would know where gray matter
really has its origin.
The frost sometimes may be on the
pumpkin, as the Hoosier poet tells us,
but it is never on the pumpkin pie. The
only place where it meets with a freezeout
Is in the restaurant where they attempt
to make squash masquerade as
pumpkin. We always have had a suspicion
that some restaurant table spreaders
do not know what they are serving.
We ran against proof of it tiie other
day, when on ordering pumpkin pie
we received a counterfeit slab of
squash, and on remonstrating were
told by the ungenial personal purveyor
that "squash and pumpkin is the
same thing."
It is the time of crisp days. Their
seasonable companions in joy for the
Jaded are pumpkin pie, country
sausage and buckwheat cakes. The
pie, however, has the better of ils
table comrades. With entire propriety
and with certainty or aceiaim it can
appear thrice daily. Anyone who looks
crosseyed at pie for breakfast is no
Judge either of the leganeies of life
or of the esculents which make life
worth living.?Chicago Post.
FEAT OF GIANT LOCOMOTIVE
Biggest in the World, It Pulls a Load
of Approximately Sixteen
Thousand Pounds.
Visualize, if you can, a freight train
over u mile in length, the longest train
that was ever hauled, carrying a load
of coal approximating thlrty-nvo million
pounds, puUed over the HIue ltidge
and Alleghany mountains by the biggest
locomotive in the world, and you
have a mental picture of the feat in
heavy hauling that was accomplished
recently on the Virginian railway, between
Princeton, \V. Va., and Roanoke.
Vu., in the presence of 85 prominent
, representatives of the lending railroads
in this country, which Is described as
inaugurating a new era in modern |
railroad development.
These demonstrations represented
tests and trials covering a range of a
wide ami exhaustive nature. It was
shown that the operation of the locomotive.
consuming on an average six
tons of coal per hoar, was an easy
matter with the duplex stoker, a
mechanical device which takes the
place of firemen.
The following are details connected
with the largest demonstration train:
The locomotive and tender weighed
440 tons and measured approximately
125 feet in length. 'I lie train was composed
of lob r;:rs, e;t?h of which
weighed 40 tons and measured 51
feet. The loud carried by each ear
represented 120 tons of coal, making
the total weight pulled by the engine
approximately lfi.Uou tons or 52,000,000
pounds.
