INJURES HAND
Mr. Jay Cole, who recently moved
here from Cliffside, and accepted a
position with the Stonecutter Mills,
injured his hand very seriously last
week. Mr. Cole while jumping from
the rear door of the Stonecutter
Mills caught the ring on his left
hand on the steel door facing. The
weight of the body on the finger
pulled it into, and injured his hand
and arm. The injured finger gave
Mr. Cole so much pain that he was
forced to have it removed Saturday.

interesting game on the local ground
by a score of 4 to 11, Saturday aft

COUNTY TO HAVE
I NEW FAIR GROUNDS
To Be Located On the Young
Place, Between Forest City
and Spindale.
Rutherford county is to have a big
ger and better fair this year which
will be held in new fair grounds, with
many added features and a new race
course. The officers and directors
will be the same with the exception
of secretary-treasurer. Mr. 0. C. Er
win. who so efficiently served in this
capacity, has resigned and his place
filled by Mr. S. E. Elmore.
The Samuel Young place, on the
highway from Forest City to Spin
dale, has been secured by the Ruther
ford County Fair Association as the
fair ground. Until about a year ago
this farm was used as a golf course.
It is located about one mile from
Spindale and three miles from For
est City; direct on the highway and
will be very convenient. Work has
already begun on the grounds and it
is expected that grounds and build
ings will be ready by October sth,
the date of the opening the 1925 fair.
Mr. S. E. Elmore, of Spindale,'has
been elected by the board of direc
tors as Secretary-Treasurer to suc
ceed Mr. O. C. Erwin, resigned. Mr.
Elmore stated Tuesday morning that
the 1925 Rutherford County Fair will
be the same class as the Spartanburg,
Concord, Sanford and Columbia
fairs, and will have the same fea
tures. A half-mile race track is now
"being graded and will also have the
same racing features as the above
fairs.
The Young farm contains about
one hundred twenty-five acres, which
will be enclosed.
With new features added, new
grounds and buildings and the adding
of the track, Rutherford county's
fair is to take rank with the best of
the state. The people of the county
should be pleased to learn of the
move for the better fair and give the
association their solid support. It
will not only prove of pleasure and
profit to the home people, but will be
a splendid means of calling attention
of the state at large to the varied
resources of the county.
The election of Mr. Elmore as sec
retary-treasurer was a splendid move.
He is one of the county's most pro
gressive business men and an ideal
man for the place. Under his effi
cient management Rutherford's
county fair is sure to take rank with
the best in the state.

I WHAT ADVERTISING WILL DO
|
"We would no more think of cut
j ting our advertising than of shutting
j down our plants."—The Borden
i Sales Company, New York. 't
That is one of the replies received', i
by The Manufacturers' Record when
it queried many of the biggest cor- :
l 
porations in the country on the | 
; amount of money they spend on ad- j i
j vertising and the results it brings j 1
i them. They were unanimous in the I
| statement that advertising on a large j
I scale is essential to business survival, j
| In the current issue of The Record I
in an article entitled "Advertising— |
* The Creative Power of Business j
' Success," these business kings bear 1
! witness to their dependence upon the
( i advertisement for the continuance of
. their reign.
i "In the toilet goods business," says
■ | the Andrew Jergens Company of Cin
-1 I cinnati, "it is getting more and more
? to be a case of advertise or die. Peo
- pie are buying brands and not goods."
Through three closely printed
, pages runs the story of manufactur-,
. ers, salesmen, railroads and advertis
? ing managers who tell of spending ;
- enormous sums of money to keep 1
- their business in the public eye. They
. are men who fling the names of their
t products across the continent and ,
1 I around the world. They are spend
ing more this year than they did last
to command the public's attention.
They have learned that to let down
in the use of printer's ink is to lose
out in the race for supremacy.
It is an ancient story:
Not the occasional outburst of bril
liant ideas in advertising wins, but
the incessant, day-in-day-out and
never-let-up assault upon the public
mind. The thing is now an open-and
shut proposition; whoever advertises
the most sells the most. Successful
men never talk about putting in an
advertisement; their discussion is al
ways of putting on an advertising
campaign. "People are buying brands
and not goods." The store which can
establish itself through statements to
the public as the synonym of good
taste, excellence of goods and ef
ficiency and courtesy of service, is
inevitably the dominating house in
its line.
The national advertiser succeeds in
making his brand stand for the ar
ticle desired. The local advertiser
can likewise make his store stand
for "the only place to go for things
of that sort."—Asheville Citizen.
