MAGAZINE AGENT Baits Hook For OUT-OF-TOWN SALE ", . . and you can get all these maga zines for only ten cents a week!” That's what the man said, so the cus tomer told The Times. Figured out at ten cents per week, for one year, the amount would be $5.20, which was an awfully good price for the group of magazines the agent said he was offering. So the Brevard man bought, or rather signed up, for the group of magazines which the fellow from out of town was agent for. Just a mite slow in figuring, and un able to keep up with the glib tongue of the out-of-town agent, the Brevard man carried the contract home, sat I down and began figuring . . . lo! The i Brevard man calculated (he said), that he could buy all the magazines he was to get from one of Brevard's own news stands. and save money. So he hunted up the out-of-town agent who was still In town, and told him he was only making an Injun trade when he signed the paper, and that the agent could take the little paper and send it to Hitler, or some other place that starts with a h. Anyway, The Times has been preach ing for years that buying at home is always the safest, and the OLD MAN buys his magazines at Ward’s or Tins ley’s. B. D. Franklin Very 111 B. D.

ADVERTISING PAYS For Thief WHO STOLE CHICKS It pays to advertise. Proof is furnished by Harrison Case. And the Judge used The Transylvania Times. It all came about this way: Somebody raided Mr. Case’s hen. house three weeks ago, stole 18 nice fat hens from the perch, all one night, leaving only six. Six hens do not constitute a very large flock, so Judge Case called up The Times and said to tell the party who stole the 18 hens that the six were still there and could be had for the taking. The story was run Just like Mr. Case suggested. The chicken thief borrowed a neigh bor’s paper three weeks ago (we are sure he is not a subscriber) read the Invitation Issued publicly by Case, and to make a long story short, said thief came back Sunday night and carried off the last six. Now Mr. Case doesn’t have anything to worry about. And he Is certain it pays to adver tise. / Send Your Renewal In Memorial Day« Tom 60 vwy with hencv.
