The following will prove interest ing to all lovers of the play: “Ina Lehr and her company are making a distinctly pleasing impres sion on Anderson theatre goers, and the patrons of the opera house find the performances thoroughly satisfac tory. “In view’ of the fact that Anderson has been rather surfeited on the work of repertoire companies this season, the reception of Miss Lehr is all the more complimentary. The audience last night was very satisfactory, and she will doubtless play to good houses the remainder of the week. “The specialties introduced last night were fresh and worth while, and the clog dancing took particularly well. The spectacular effects were very realistic. Many patrons of the house are praising the work of Mr. Will Avery, the musical director, The play for tonight is “That Western Girl.” and the old prices of 10, 20 and o" cents will prevail.—Anderson Dailv Mail.

Advertising is called by some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In • store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not b« the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper. If you have not triad it, why not begin? If vou have tried it and are not fied, let ua know about U. FOR Up-to-Date Job Print- * ing, call atjthe LEDGER Office. Gaffney, S. C. We believe thoroughly in advertising. To prove it we are going to use this space for our own pur poses. We have advertis ing space to sell, and we know it will pay a good return upon the price we charge for it if it is prop erly used. Our paper goes into the best homes in this community. It has been going week after week and year after year until each issue is welcomed as an old friend of the family. The news it brings is news of neighbors, of per sonal affairs in which all have more or less of a com mon interest. If one of our readers called upon you, a merchant, you would do the best you could to con vince him that what you had for sale was the best he could buy. You would show him the new things you had got in recently. You would tell him why he should have them and why they were better than he could procure elsewhere. You probably would make a sale. Your effort, however, would be «*• haed to one perion. You could tell the same story just as effectively to every reader of this paper in each issue. You do not believe it would have the same ef fect? * If you told the story in the same way it would.
