COM BAITING A NUISANCE
I H'IO.1 I >oJ ** '
IWtlt-r liuMiiubM Bureaus Blocking
Blind 'II# Basin
(Monday's News and Couriof)
That the Better Business Bureau
of ( harlestoii, leeently organized un-J
(Jer the auvpicc* of the Charleston ,
Hoard of Trade hus already undertaken
its work of protecting the puhMc
from impositions of those engaged
! ? unfair und untruthful advertising
of all kinds, is disclosed in the campaign
nhw being waged by the
bureau to rid the city of the newest
form of nuisance, namely; the sending
of unordered merchandise by mail
to citizens of Charleston.
During the past two or three weeks
many Charleston business men have
received a package of three neckties
from an alleged "Blind Tie Man,"
claiming that he was totally blind and
was supporting himself in this manner,
J. Gil-more Smith of the Board
of Trade stated yesterday. Knowing
from experience, with similar cases,
that the average lot of merchandise
sent through the mail without request,
accompanied by a direct or indirect
appeal for charity, will not appraise
as high in value as similar merchandise
from the local stores, an executive
of the bureau made a tour of
the retail stores on King street and
found that practically identical neckties
retail in Charleston for fifteen
cents, or seven for one dollar.
"The Better Business Bureau," Mr.
Smith said, regards this particular
method of merchandising as a nuisance
to the public as well as an unfair
method of competition to the
legitimate business of local merchants
who are taxpayers in Charleston
and who are liberal supporters of
our charitable institutions.
Acting upon numerous complaints
by the business men of the cjty, the
Charleston Board of Trade has communicated
with various better business
bureaus of the country suggesting
a nation-wide investigation of the
many schemes of promotions exploiting
the blind and has just been advised
by eleven of the bureaus that
complying with the Board of Trade's
appeal a general merchandise information
bulletin has been sent out to
the civic and commercial organizations
of the country asking their cooperation
in stopping -this annoying,
unethical and unfair method of merchandising
now being used by promoters
coupled with a disguised plea
for charity or sympathy which is regat
ded us uuusutly vicious. "B?iauiid
of the tremendous success of the various
'blind men' in securing business
through an indirect 'blind' plea, the
tie fever* seems to be inoculating the
blind and disabled of a number of
Western cities. N'o doubt the spread
>f the 'disease* is being speeded with
.njecti'ins' by shrewd promoters," delated
the bulletin.
"In our opinion, the quickest way
to iid Charleston of this new menace
to the business men of the eity?the
si nding of unordered merchandise?
is to make the business unprofitable
for those engaged in it. The way to
make it unprofitable is to cause losses
through non-returns," states Mr.
Smith. "A reeipient of unordered
merchandise is under no obligation to
perform the labor required to place
that merchandise in the mails for return
to the sender. It is sufficient
that the merchandise be kept in a
safe place for a reasonable length
r.of time so that it may be handed to
a personal representative of the company
should such a representative
call and ask for the return of the
merchandise. The recipient should
not use the merchandise because its
use would signify acceptance of the
offer. No doubt the failure of recipients
to return merchandise except
upon personal call would have
a tendency to discourage the sending
of unordered merchandise by mail.
"Our investigation of the scheme
of the alleged 'blind tie man' is that
he is not an individual, but a large
manufacturing institution which is
literally flooding this country with
unordered neckties. The board of directors
of the Board of Trade has
arranged for the organization to accept
and store all unordered mcrv-handise
and will act as agent for the
recipients. We shall notify the sender
that the merchandise is being hold
by the Board of Trade -subject to a
storage charge of 25 cents per week
per package, and that it will be held
for a reasonable length of time in the
event that a personal representative
of the sender should call for it," said
Mr. Smith.

THKKB NEW FORI) MODELS
i "
Henry Ford About to Bring Out Four,
? Hix, and Eight Cylinder Model*
New York, April 22.?Henry Ford
i.s about to bring out throe new models,
according to report* in Wall
Street. Hanker* familiar with the automotive
industry hear Mr. Ford soon
will announce a new four-cylinder
model, somewhat along general lines
of the present model, to sell around
$460. The same sources understand
a six-cylinder model, to sell around
$776 ia. planned while the Kdsel H,
now ftttid to be under construction will
sell around $1,160.
These models, with the present
Ford and Lincoln line.^ would give
Lord dealers a car in every price
class which, the trade asserts, is the
cause of the success of the General
Motors Corporation. Henry Ford,
so bankers hear, plan* to inauguratea
new policy with his dealer organisation.
The details were not revealed.
Repurchase of the Ixmg Island City
plant by the Ford Motor Company
from William C. Durant wa^ said to
be the forerunner of increased Ford
activities in this vicinity. The plant
formerly was used for assembling
Lord cars, but was abandoned when
the Kearney, N. J., factory was erected.
Mr. Cochran, partner of J. P. Morgan
<fc Company, before sailing fori
Europe July 31st, predicted General
Motors would udvance 100 points
within two or three years. Last
August General Motors paid a stock
dividend of 50 per cent. The old
shares therefore, to fulfill the Cochran
prediction, had to reach 193. Yesterday
they soared 100 points.
The big bulge in General Motors
occurred after 10,400 shares were sold
to Wright, Slade & Company at 190,
involving $1,976,000, one of the biggest
contracts ever executed on the
New York Stock Klxchange. It is unders^Hxl
the reported buyer acquired
the stock from several sellers.

Hov. To Behave in Public Places
Good breeding tells in good manners.
Thoughtless actions may stamp
you as an ill-bred person, or an ignoramus.
Actions wholly appropriate to
the street or the playground may be
quite out of place at a public perI
formancc or in a public building.
Avoid running, romping or the
making of unnecessary noise.
On entering the room take a seat
immediately and remain in it until
the performance is over.
Between acts or during intermissions
talk in ^entir~tfriTesr
Avoid .eating in the hall.
Avoid dropping paper on the floor.
Shooting paper wads, airplanes or
other objects stamps one immediately
a> ill-bred. Help keep the room
clean, neat anil orderly. Protect the
property.
I he appearance on the platform of
one who is to speak to you should
be your signal for immediate silence
and attention. Don't wait to be called
to order, call yourselves to order.
You should be attentive and silent,
not only when some one is talking
to you from the platform and when
a number of any kind is being given,
but also during a movie. People who
visit while others are trying to entcrtain
them are a public nuisance.
Don t let yourselves slip into that
class. Also do not tell the plot of a
pla\ or movie to your neighbor. I^et
him enjoy the discovery for himself.
N(\er in the auditorium or in any
o?h<-: place where there is a large
group of people should you stand and
beckon, whistle, or call to attract the
attention of your friends.
If you enter after the program has
begun, find a seat so noiselessly as
to escape notice.
Show your appreciation cordially,
but avoid excessive applause. Never
stamp your feet or whistle. -Carried
beyond a certain point applause
ceases to be a courtesy. Cultivate
good taste m this matter. Moderation
is a mark of good taste.
Never stand unless there is no
room. Then stand at the rear or
side, never in the front.
Mark yourself as a lady or gentle- !
man bred in every action. Advertise i
your home and parents as men and !
women of fine families.

Same way about your cotton crop. Alii

more cotton.
Thousands of thinking cot

themselves. They have prove
for you, too, and you can pfl
by their experience.

When bad weather holds the cotton W
this side-dressing pushes it ahead to ea
