We understand that they an en route to the Char lee ton exposition. : Miss Bettie Thompson,' of Goldsboro, who had been visiting her brother in Newbern, 'stopped here at her brother's, Mr:' A. P.

' Advertislasr Wett Done Will Always Pay . rorltaelf. ProfiUbU AdTertUlni. ' f - jX The most effective illustration of tbe proposition that advertising well done does not Increase the expenses ot a busi ness Is furnished by , Walter H. Cotting- ham, managing director of the Sherwin- Williams coropanv, Cleveland. In re ferring to this subject during an address delivered at a convention of tbe concern's representatives, Mr. Uottingham said: Take a man wno is doing a business ot 1100.000 per annum, and let us sup pose his expenses are $25,000, which is 25 per cent, to his sales. He wishes to increase this business, and he decides to advertise. Let as suppose that be de cides on an expenditure for this purpose ; or f i,wu per annum, his expenses are tnen increased to f : By this ex penditure, let us suppose he is able to increase his sales to .$130,000, and at this rats his sinenses with advertising added would amount to same percentage as before, namely, 25 per cent. . He has not increased the percentage ; of his ex penses and has sold $30,000 more goods, and if his net profit was 5 per 1 cent, be has increased his net earnings by $1,500. The amount I bars named for advertis ing such a business should bring even larger results. - These figures deserve a wide circula tion. They should be read and studied by every man who has anything to do with advertising. They show that the theory that advertising does not really increase expenses, is susceptible of mathematical demonstration, and they also prove that the tyt of advertising does not need to be added to tbe cost of ths goods in oHer to prevent loss. When a business man asserts that he I i i i i . can sen rueaper Because ne uoee not ad vertise, be is, although bs may jiot know lt,maktnga false assertion. It is the good advertiar who can aSord touDder sell all non-ad rertlsing competitors.' ' mMwmm Tawr with I C"7 0- art-, cure eoniit!pi Ina tarrr. GENERAL' NEWS.
