If you are not yetting your part
of ?the fall buaineaa, try going after
it a little harder. Advertising is a
big help, just try it. The Chronicle
is right ready to help you with your
advertising campaign, if you are
starting a campaign to get results.
A paper thut reaches into every section
of the county would naturally
mean a great deal, and thut's just
what The Chronicle does.
DOWN ON THE FARM
The editor of the Winnsboro Herald
and News, our neighbor county
across the river, accompanied his
county agent and a Clemson college
man on a tour of inspection of furui
diversification in Fairfield county and
hero is what he says in his paper;
We came back all "pepped up."
In the whole trip the party did not
hear one word of "hard times." Those
farmers who are shipping cream are
getting cheeks averaging all the way
from $30 to $00 A month. Besides
this return, one of the "live at homers"
has sold nine heifers for $000.
It would be awfully hard to convince
us that these heifers were not raised
more easily and economically than 20
bales of cotton. Another man has
sold over a thousand dollars worth
of hogs, and surely there was less
work, worry and expense in these
than in 20 bales of Cotton. One lady
has sold over $400 worth of produce
from 100 Barred Rock hens. Our advice
to any and all who feel downhearted
and discouraged is to. get
out in the country and see what is
being done."
MOST DISGUSTING
In South 'Carolina cities and towns,
there is and has been for years, a
municipal law against promiscuous
expectorating on the streets and on
the floors of public buildings but if
there is any law more generally ignored
than is this one, then this
newspaper does not happen to know
what it may be. During the recent
term of court of general sessions for
York county, it was particularly noticeable
that in all parts of the court
room men were spitting tobacco
juice in any direction they chose,
and this was by no means confined
to the negroes, since the white people
appeared to be more offensive in
this direction than did the colored
brothers. It is a filthy and disgusting
habit for a person to expectorate
on the floor and officers of the law
should endeavor to see that the law
is carried out. If a few of the worst
offenders should he haled into court
ahTl a stiff fihe~Vl7ipped on them foT~
the act. spitting on the sidewalks
and on the floors of public buildings
would soon cease to be such a general
habit.
And by the way, just how many of
these people make it a practice to
spit on the floors of their own
homes? It would lie interesting to
see some figures in this connection.

Community Spirit
Says J. C. Penney
Chicago, III., Sept. 3Q.?"The quick
return of national prosperity is in the
hands of the retail merchants of the
country," declared J. C. Penney,
founder and chair/nan-of-the-hoard of
the J. C. Penney Company, before th<$
members of the National <*hain Store
Association here today, at their annual
convention.
lie a is/) stated that the successful
retail merchant of the future would
la* a jeader in community affairs,
serving as a community-minded citizen.
In his talk, Mr.- Penney said:
"The country is familiar with the
nature of the attacks which have been
made uguinst the citizenship of chain
store units and chain store managers.
In general, it is familiar with the
type of men who incite these attacks.
The county at large is becoming
increasingly convinced that the
majority of the attacks have back
of them the desire of some individual
to capitalize on passions and prejudice
to his own personul financial
advantage.
"If any good whatever ha# arisen
from the various local situations, it
will be found in the awakening of a
rising interest in the communities
where agitation has been going on,
in chain stores in generul and in an
awakening, on the part of the chain
stores, to the fact that they must
assert the part they are playing in
community affairs.
"In oyr organization, we huve kept
close track of the activities of our
store managers in local affairs.
"Results of a recent investigation
show that, out of 1396 managers, who
received questionnaires, 1307 were
active members of local organizations,
maintaining 2030 memberships.
572 store associates were also memburs
of local business and civic clubs.
933 managers were on committees or
held office in the c^ubs to which they
belonged.
"It is characteristic of the American
people that they are keenly sensitive
to local activities. We are a
race of joiners and we are community-minded.
"Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Community
Chest, Chamber of Commerce,
these are all far more than words
in the minds of the American people.
They stand for national traits
which cannot be discounted.
"The duties of chain stores as citizens
of the communities in which
they operate are rather clearly defined.
Past experience in our own
business has definitely proved to me
that up business can reach to its
"highest development in any locality
unless* it is community-minded.
"I have found that, where our
store managers were combining the
joiner spirit with good sound business
sense, they were steadily increasing
their volume of sales and
at the same time were maintaining
friendly relationships with other local
merchants.
"The duties of citizenship do not
impose any financial or social hardship
upon the store managers, nor
upon the store personnel.
"Because a man conducts his business
in a manner to insure its financial
success does not make him a
business outcast in his community
Rvery community is fully aware of
the fact that one of the most dangerous
men in its midst is the man who
is not equipped to run a business and
who still insists upon trying. The
losses sustained by retail organizations
which fail are spread over the
entire community.
"On the otlUM-* hmid;~the~riTHTr" whx
insists that he must run his business
purely as a mechanical, money-making
machine, entirely without regard
for the fact that he is accepted as
a part of the community, is, and
probably justifiably so. likely to be
looked upon with suspicion by the
com in u nity.
"Through the advertising ctilumns
of the newspapers, the chain stores
have presented their message to the
people, and the newspaper generally,
in their editorial columns, have been
quick to recognize the economic value
of the industry. Wherever our speakers
have addressed local business
men and whenever important news
concerning the chain stores has developed,
the editors of the country
have co-operated in publishing the
facts, and helped to still the sporadic
outbursts of unfavorable comments.
"It has been stated innumerable
times, by editorial writers, by busi.
writers, and by students of business
economics, that the coming of a
chain store to a town is an indication
that that particular town is
a good one in which to do business.
"Other statements have been made
that once chain stores get established
in a town, the trading area of that
a expands and there is more husifor
every merchant in it.
"Ir tbt-r opinion- are true, and I
-. e no t asoii in g'--d business judgnirv
to discount t rem. the chain
-t"0"c 111 fills orir definite obligation
;-f~er.shtp when :t selects- a locaIt
places the stamp of business
a:>j>!-o\ .a on that location ami on the
' ituic of the trading aie.t in which
's located.
"The community wants business organizations
that are sufficiently well
financed to insure permanent payrolls.
rents paid, and bills paid. They
want organizations that are sufficiently
well organized to insure added
service facilities to the people in
its incorporated limits.
"If the chain stores do as they are
reputed to do, open up a wider trading
area because of national recognition
of their importance, then the
local merchant can be shown how he
can benefit directly from their operations
in his community.
"The volume of money which comes
into town on Saturday night, from
the outlying areas, especially in our
smaller towns where the requirements
of citizenship seem to be the
most exacting; if this is drawn into
town and split up into payroll, tax
money rent, and other local items, by
the chain store units, because they do
pen enlarging trading areas, it is,a
definite contribution of good citizenship
to the town.
"If chain stores, because they se
lect carefully in choosing their locations,
act as an upbuilding force in
community real estate values, then
they are definitely contributing to the
economic development of that community.
"Perhaps many of us are better
citizens than we have realized and it
may be that we have been negligent
in acquainting the community with
the facts concerning our citizenship."
