A D:inbuiy Rit_• ;nan visit
ed the s*ore of M. O. Stevens, a
county Merchant doing business
:
one mile Fouth of L«\vsonville,
Saturday.
Sixty-four automobiles and
, trucks were counter in the road
surrounding the mercantile estab
lishment. Some of them were
ioaJii.f, Sour, chop, beans and
other crmmodities. Many per*
sons were standing" around on the
outside. Inside the aisles of the
store were packed with customers
or sight-seers. Four or five
1 ! clerks were serving the crowd.
This concern owned and operated
,by M. O. Stevens and wife, ap
pearej to be doing a land-office
business Dry goods, shoes,
jgroceries sundries, drinks and
1 smokes were passing over the
counter. Cash registers were
I clicking to the tune of the merry
I .
,coi n showering in.
The proprietor, who limps with
a rheumatic back, directed the
| selling. He told the newspaper
man some days he takes in as
much as $700.00. His wife, who

i
There are few establishments--
ptrhaps none— in the Stale, with
us sparse a territory to draw
from, that can boast of a better
business thcin M. O. Stevens. A
few months age he decided when
trade w;'s rather dull, to enliven
the channels of cash with adver
tising. A contract was made
with the Danbu:y Reporter for
space,.. and the newspaper man
advised hiini to keep the tide
with attractive cut - down in
prices. He fell for the idea.
. Every week the drawing ads ap
peared in the Reporter which
j circulates in nearly every family
|in Peter's Creek township and
" the trade area of ; 'this store.
! Immediately the effect was no
j ticed. Customers came from
j miles around. Out of Patrick,
|Va., where the Reporter has
I
| many subscribers, the news was
, spread of Stevens' bargain:'?.
Many Virginians came, and great
throngs from Stokes.
Mr. Stevens is a sincere believ
er in printer's ink. He reaches
the very sensible conclusion that
!i f you have things to sell, and
will price them right, the coun
try all round about will make a
beaten path to your door—pro
jvided the- people know about it.
( And the Danbury Reporter will
. tell them about it.
