ill Oku until ortlor houses spend so
much money to net one new cus
tomer why should a retailer not
lauliM an effort In the "game dl'roc

the ?aine__/ueuJib of attractive
salesmanship on paper? If lie can
bring even one new customer a
Vveek to his store with an expendi
ture that is many times below
what a mall prder house has to
pay for getting iln? same results,
it is worth whllv puying closer at
tention to this successful method
of selling. Ii he can influence
more than one customer, and it
would he poor local newspaper
advertising indeed thai could not
do that, he would he accomplish
ing far more than the mail order
houses with their highly paid sell
ing experts. And. its a business
man, he could congratulate himself
011 a good Investment. He could
say to himself that lie had in his
advertisement the cheapest sales
man on his force.
It is, of course, not always pos
sible to readily get this sliom;,
convincing selling matter in your
newspaper space. You may not
lie able yourself 10 write it and
.?t?n may not. have any local person
to whom you can turn. Hut that
need not deter you. There are now
on the .market one or two syndicat
ed advertising services that are de
signed especially to suit cases like
yours. These services are supplied
in a series of fifty-two advertised
mollis with accompanying copper
plate engravings, one for each week
m the year, in prices ranging from
one dollar per week up. Many of
the advertisements have been class
ed bv authorities as equal to the
hesi ihiit have made successes for
tin- big city department stores and
national advertisers. Ked'iced fac
similes of several of the?,e adver
tisements will be seen at the lop

In their report to the legislature
the Hoard of Directors of the Pen
itentiary have this to say of these
two farms:
?"The State farms are kept' in a
high state of cultivation, and the
lands are being made to produce
more a n < I more each year. The
results this \ear have been entire
ly sat islact ory. The farms are a
great adjunct to the Penitentiary
and have contributed largely to
the fine financial showing that has
linen made. They afford healthy
in.I remunerative work for the
convicts and are fine object lessons
i.s improved agriculture. They are
v>'elj stocked, with horses, mules,
?'< - tie. hogs. sheep and goats, and
have an abundance of food stuff for
t'.l needs, and contribute to a great
?Mem to the support of tlie main
prison at Columbia. The DeSaus
?>nfarm is managed by \V. K.
Gardner. ? of Kershaw,, and the
Ueid farm by James H. Irhv, of
I.aureus. The farms are models of
neatness and system, and we heart
i'y indorse their wise and business
like management."
