ADVERTISING INCREASES i
SALES OF FRIGIDAIRE
I
I
i
"A strikip: example of the value ,
of newspaper advertising is seen in !
th erecent Frigidaire price reduc- ',
tions," said It. (). Andrews local dis-'
tributor of Frigidaire electric refrig-!
erators, yesterday. j,
"In the six years preceding last J.
December the company had sold ']
less than 90.000 Frigidaires. Then !
it undertook newspaper advertising j
on a big scalp in every city where 11
it had representation. It used these!,
paper sto carry its message of con-1
venience, sanitation and comfort to Iv
housewives of the United States. '
"Already It has boosted its monthly
sales to around the 25.000 mark; j
it has sold more than 200.000 Frigi- j
daires; it has exhausted the capacity ,
of its present plant and is how add- j.
ing 30 acres of floor space to its a
production facilities at an approxl- j
mate cost of $20,000,000. Newspaper
advertising brought the company a
great demand for its product, which
enabled it to get into quantity pro- I
duction and reduce its selling prices. '
"As a result Frigidaire is today '
within the reach of the average jc
pocket book and is no longer regarded
as a luxury but as a modern
household essential. Today electric
-ofrlunenilon Mil hp fhlllld ill the
rural districts, In hotels and impart- ?
ment houses and urban homes everywhere.
,
"Newspaper advertising, by spreading
the gaspel of electric refrigeration
has done a great thing for the (
housewife, for the retailer of foods, ,
c
the confectioner, the ice cream manufacturer
and all others who require
constant dependable refrigeration."
It Is a significatnt fact that the <i
Delco-Light company picked The v
Polk County News as its advertising /
medium in this city, as the newspapers
used by this company are
selected only after a careful study
of their local interest and influence. ^
Tom Tarheel says that old rocky c
field, full of stumps, just back of
the barn is now one of the best
pieces of land on the farm since (he
blew out lite rocks and stumps a
with explosive.
About half the cotton grown in
North Carolina last year was of the 11
Cleveland Big Boll variety. Mexican v
Big Boll is also steadily growing In w
>opularity. ! S
Linger Longer Linoleum
Waxing or varnishing is said to h
improve the appearance of linoleum r
and make 'l last longer. 1
Plenty Pickles
it
Watermelons seem to be especial- a
ly plantiful this year. The rinde
make delicious preserves and good
pickles. .

American Frys ti
E
When frying potatoes, use but C
little fat and a heavy skillet. Let
all the piece sbrown on one side before
turning them and cook only en- 1
ough at a time to cover the bottom a
of the skillet in a thin layer. C
Variety in Bread
c;
Everyone gets tired of eating the ti
same kind of bread day after day.
Introduce variety by having whole
wheat, graham, or rye bread once
in a while; sweet breads, such as r
raisin, date, nut or coffee ring;
quick breads like muffins and bis- ^
cults, including toast, crackers, or a
bread sticks.
Cheap Eggs From Pul'ets t,
1,
In experiments by the United g
States Department of Agriculture ^
general purpose pullets, such as Ply- t
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, of
Wyandottes produced a dozen eggs
from 6.8 pounds of feed, and Leg- fj
horn pullets from 5.2 puunds of feed. t
Old hens required a much larger 8
nmnnnt of feed than Dullets in nro- ?
during a dozen eggs. 1
Standard Apples Win
Boxed-apple growers were pioneers e
In establishing standard grades
through which their product has
gained recognition and its market in- t
tegrlty has been assured. Only by j
establishing and adhering to such .
standards has the boxed-apple indust- j
ry been able to compete with other .
apple-producing sections more favor- .
ably located as to markets.

CLASS JAZZ MUSIC SLANG
CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 19?
'A symphonic poem written about a j
railway engine leaying the station j
serves no practical purpose," Sir j
Henry Hadow, vice chancellor of
Sheffield University, told the students
in the summer school in music
U Cambridge University in an adiress
designed t0 warn musicians
against extreme tendencies in modern
music.
"Young composers spend too much
time in experimenting," he said.
'There is too much over-elaboration."
Sir Henry had a vind word for
jazz. He said it possessed a broad
tiumor which raised a momentary
laugh. It is the equivalent of slang,
in, his opionion, and a thoroughly impossible
thing to live with from daf
if) day.
