ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, January 4, 1917.
Don't forget the big good roads
rally that is to be held at the court
house next Monday morning at 11
o'clock. Every person in the county
interested in the matter of improving
the county's highways should be
present at the meeting. If you have
no suggestions that you may be able
to impart, you should come and hear
. what others have to say. and if we
are not badly mistaken, everyone will
hear something mighty interesting.
The Herald is not given to handing
- * - a I
out free advertising, oui we remvcu
a letter the other day from an advertising
agency that was one of the
most refreshing bits we have had in
a long time. The letter was from the
Lewis-Seabrook Co., of Atlanta, and
"was in the nature of an advertising
contract for the H. G. Hastings Co.
After giving instructions as to the
proper insertion of the cuts, the letter
stated that the agency would pay
as our regular rate, whetever it was,
without any commissions or discounts.
Now that is something ua
heard of on the part of the average
responsible advertising agency. We
think our friends of the trade can
attest that fact, and we want to com
mend the Lewis-Seabrook Co., for seeing
the light. They all will, some
day, but this is the first time in our
newspaper experience that an agency
* has offered to pay our regular rate
without a lot of correspondence. B>
the way, if we are not mistaken, Mr.
Seabrook is a South Carolinian.
