FP?e two . . COMMUNITY TRADE TERRITORY. In this day of rivalry between trade centers, such as titiee and towns there are often many extravagant j c'airas legarding their respecive "trade territories,' that is, the sub crban and rami popuulation upon -which the merchants draw business That has given rise to the quuestcn of what constitutes a trade area for a community. There are various methods of arriveng at an answer, but rone of them is on such- a basis as to be standardized. In a recen bulletin of the United States department of commerce commenting on the arbitary indications of tome writers that the average city should draw from an outside territory that embraces a population equal to 40 percent of iteelf, the Opinion is advanced thaf many conditions detersome the extent of the city's trading territory. Of the more important factors in this respect are those geographical conditions ploying their part in freeing o city from outside competition or in handles nping it in the race for trade. Merchandising methods, extraordinarily fair an comprehensive, have enabled some cities to iniludc in their trade territory outlying districts whose population was equal to 75 percent of that of the original city. One can not emphasize strongly tho importance uiA^tcrmnaismg policies when an effort is being made tc r?>easure and ascertain a potential I market. There are few natural restrictions to a trade territory, and whatever ^restrictions a community finds itself surrounded with are of its own making fr..temitr,% "the sky is the limit," and f any community can have for its 'r-.de area any territory it chooses. Of course it cannot sit still and exptctithe trade ta flow in of iss own < . ;i,ee wtM' and accord. It is true that sopie of the business will come without solicitation but hot enongh to make a bri*k trade. The community with "go-getters" will be the one to thrive liom outside patronage. >. iBut, behind all of itw there must fco thcfundaniehtal principle of service. -.vTHt is the one gheat American ?loof the day. The community composed of men who give service ? i* the community that is going to make its influence felt over a wide territory. The merchant that aids his community to develop a large trade area must have goods in quantity, quality and price that will com* mend attention, ami then there must h?* tha element of service. It might . be said that semHce 'includes the right prices, as. true .service cannot be rendered with inferior needs at high prices. When you have the goods in q?.m? tity, quality,and prices tha t will er.aple yu to offer service, then tell the folks about it. Listen at this form an article in "a trade magazine written by a successful Durham business man: "We are going to give you_Uie secret of success in 0 * business in a nut shell?^Advertising! We do not mean sporadic advertising. W* mean to commenco advertising "the first day in the year and don't let up until you are ready to sit down to your Christmas dinner. Your fortune is in your newspaper space.* ' Select your nowspaper, make a contract with it for so many inches per month." o In another place in that article, the Durham dealer says: "Your best advertisement is your newspaper; keep at it all the year; the dullest season is the one you want to use the most for advertising." Those methods will give any community m outside trade area a popu. la lion net of 40 percent of the eom rminityV population, but of twice that amount. Durham Herald. 0?

December 7. Under the leadership of the Woman's Missionary Union, auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist women of the South are seeking to raise $7,000,000 in additional JE BHjk MISS KATHLEEN MALLORY ?orrecponding Secretary, Baptist Woman's Missionary Union cash between now and'the end of the year for the Baptist 76 Million Campaign, thus matching, their subscript lions in 1910, when-the progrom was launched, with actual payments, It is announced at Baptist headquarters. The* women were asked to assume responsibility for 315,000,000, or onefifth of the goal of the Campaign, bill their subscriptions ^'pnt far bbyoad this. Their original goal of $15,000,000 in cash had been reached by the women June 1. 1024. and under the leadership of Miss Kathleen Mallory. corresponding secretary of the Woman's Missionary Union, they are making extra efforts to meet their pledges as well as their quota. Thousands of Baptist women throughout the South are practicing * self-denial in many ways in order to make special contributions to the missionary, educational and benevolent enterprises embraced In the Campaign, while other thousands who have already paid ouK their subscriptions are making special thank offerings that the goal may be reached. Reports indicate that thousands of Baptist men as well will redeem their subscriptions in full during this year. La^go Results Obtained Imitating some of tho results that had been realized from the Campaign up to May 1T 1924, the general headquarters reports that the foreign mission force has been Increased over 100 per cent, while as many persons hare been baptized on the foreign fields in the five yoars of the Campaign as there were church members there at the outset of this program after 75 years of missionary effort. In the realm of home missions the 1,170 workers report the baptism of 203,522 persona, organisation of 1.095 new churches and 3,383 new Sunday schools, and the completion of the $1,000,000 Cflurch Building Ix^an Fund. An average of 1,734 state mission workers have been employed during the Campaign who report 240,686 baptisms. organisation . of 1,646 churches and 3,035 Sunday schools, and the erection or repair of 2,331 houses of worship. Into the 119 Southern Baptist schools, colleges and seminaries the Campaign has put $7,628,485 in permanent Improvements, $2,910,430 in maintenance, and $2,732,231 in endowment, while $1, 277021 has been employed in the cancellation of outstanding debts. Old Preachers- Aided As a result of the Campaign more than 1,000 aged preachers and their dependent ones have been helped; $4.464,000 has been put into 10 Baptist orphanages caring for 4,000 homeless boys and girls; while the number of Baptist hospitals in tire South has been increased from 1*2 to 24. In order thai thore may be no let up in tho support of the general mis ionary and other causes fostered by denomination ftt-llig_dose of the 5 Million Campaign, plans have beer, perfected for the. project ion of the 1.125 Program with the week of November 30-Decerubar 7. when an -very-member canvass will be made ^f the 23.000 Baptist churches of the "*>outh for the support of state, home and foreign missions, Christian rduca tion, ministerial relief, hospitals and orphanages next year.
