This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There axe rrome merchants in this community whose er.p'r.'ence apparently confadicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they haa to sell, what they were here for and what they proposed to do. Just in proporiion to the thororeb- ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile seed planted in fertile ground, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit. A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is as certain and inexorable in one case as the other. I jr* VIRGINIA-0AROLINA CHEMICAL COMPANY MANUFACTURE V' f FOR INFORMATION ADDRESS THE VKGWIA-CAROLWA CHEMICAL GO.
