Think of the money we save every winter on fly-swatterS! The value of a kiss depends upon the law of Supply and demand. There is more parking space around a library than around a movie. Only a few more months until bath ing girls will be back on magazine covers. It is easy to figure what you should have said after it is too late to ray it. The vital and telling phrases coined day by day are soon incorporated in our slanguage. If you are worried, just think of the money you saved by strawberries, being out of season. Character is made by the things you stand for; reputation is made by the things you fall for. The Capitol at Washington covers 362,000 square feet and no telling how many square heads. When the man tells her that he loves her wonderful mind, he means that she isn’t much for looks. The press of South Carolina has suffered a distinct loss in the retire ment of Col. Rion McKissick as edi tor and owner of the Greenville Pied mont. He labored earnestly for the betterment of the people of his State. It is gratifying to know, how ever, that he will devote his time to historical writing, for which he has show marked ability. PAUSE A MOMENT Or X: B.

The quicker the turnover which a dealer is able to make the sooner his profit is obtain ed and the cash is put in the till for new purchases. Advertising of the practical kind will heip to make quick er sales and more frequent profits. The result is that the retailer, with the aid of the general advertiser, is able to maintain standard prices and quality in the widely advertised ar ticles. , ^ We Ask Your Indulgence. If this issue of The People-Sentine ' Is not up to our usual standard, we ask your kind indulgence, for, in ad Wiition to the unusual amount of work incident to the closing days of the circulation campaign, the editor has had sickness in his family duri ing the past ten days. We hope to have our mailing list straightened out and everything running smoothly again before another issue. In the meantime, bear with us, please. Advertising Cuts Prices. Persons who have not given the subject of advertising serious thought may be inclined to believe that stand ard products could bo sold cheaper if the manufacturers did not spend so much money in advertising them. The contrary is the truth. Every concern which -seeks a gen eral market for its goods finds it ■inoceaaary-dtt-aet- aside a rprtatrr'sum each year for advertising, and this is charged as a part of the operat ing expense, the same as rent, fuel or insurance. The aim of the adver tising manager is to buy the largest possible Circulation among persons 'who wcfold be interested in his pro duct. Every manufacturer has certain fixed charges which must be paid out of the receipts from the business, and the larger the volume of business that can be created the less per ar ticle is charged for the payment of overhead costs. This volume of busi ness is obtained only by creating a demand for the gods, and it is most . quickly and cheaply done by direct appeal through the newspapers. The same principal which obtains MRS.

We have every assurance that this end will be appreciated by advertisers as well as our readers and there will be no ef fort spared to come up to their ex pectations. The People-Sentinel is at present one of the most liberally patronized publications of this section. This patronage has been secured for the reason that its advertisements bring results. This is proven by the large amount of. business of a national character carried at all times, as well as the attitude of the local merchants toward this paper. It sliall be the constant aim of the publisher to mer it this confidence in the efficiency of the paper, to draw trade, by con- stant~Tmprovements and painstaking service in addition to our tremendous circulation. ‘ , Of the splendid cooperative man ner in which all candidates partici pated in the campaign we are grate ful and appreciative. And, for the upright manner in which the National Circulation Company conducted the campaign under the personal direc tion of Mr. S. F. Shaw, the District Manager, we are deeply indebteq. Whle we know that each candidate in the campaign had absolutely fair treatment in every respect from the beginning to the end of the race, and 'in that knowledge find much satisfac tion, we confess a genuine feeling of regret at not being able to deliver a dozen automobiles instead of only three. We believe that those candidates who failed to win cars have recon ciled themselves to the acceptance of their alloted prizes, for it was known The Only Way to Protect Yourself 'N'x. i % \ V " ' • —T - \ ‘ in business is to benefit by sound financial ^ » advice.

As publishers of The People-Senti nel, we beg, therefore, to voice our special thanks to each participant in the campaign as weh as to Mr. Shaw and the public at large, who so gen erously helped .to. make this campaign a wronderful success and wish all a continuance of this splendid success which marked their efforts in this campaign. Last, but by no means least, do we want to extend our thanks to the Home Bank of Barnwell and to each of the judges for the service rendered 'us during the closing of the contest.
