Advertising—
THIS IS WORTH READING
Display advertising in which the articles adver
tised are fully described has proved to be the most ef- •
fective by far. Tests on advertising were made some
time ago by the Chicago Tribune. Advertisements in
which the descriptions of various articles were limited
to one or two lines were run along with others carrying
five lines of descriptive matter. The latter proved to
have double the response.
Last Spring an Eastern concern made a complete
canvass of its trade territory to ascertain the type of ad
vertising with most appeal. Ninety per cent of those
questioned were found to favor full description of mer
chandise together with prices." A few favored price
•v.... alone and a smaller number favored the general pres- ._
tige-building type. A merchant who is familiar with
his own merchandise is apt to because he knows
every detail of the merchandise that every one else
does. That is not true. People like to know just what
they are going to buy; they like to have it described in
detail, even to size and dimensions.
Mail order houses discovered this early in the
game, and they have gone so far as to illustrate practi
cally every item of merchandise, some in colors, and
described to the smallest detail. They sell entirely
through the printed word. , What an advantage the lo
cal merchant has over the mail order catalog, if he
would advertise along similar lines.
' %
Catalogs are printed twice a year, while your
county newspaper is printed twice a week. The mer
> chant has the advantage of presenting seasonable ad
vertising—he has the advantage of personal contact.
The story of his goods is^fresh each issue and the story
is news. He has the advantage of the newcomers in the
trade;territory and the younger people who marry,
who, before, had no thought of Where to buy. The field
is always widening for the local merchant if he has the
vision to go out and fight for the business.
To fight for business, all that is necessary is proper
advertising, which will sell the people on his store. The
merchant who advertises for business with regularity,
rain or shine, good roads or bad, is the merchant who
' is making advertising successful for him. The fact that
people know where his store is means little. People
like to know just what this merchant is doing, what new
merchandise he has and why they should buy it This
is a day of competition and advertising leads the way.

Explain Plan
Many peanut growers in Martin
County are contemplating signing an
agreement with the North Carolina
Mutual Peanut Exchange, Inc., for the
purpose of an orderly marketing of
the lowly goober.
Several community meetings have
been held already in the county this
week, and at each one a marked in
terest has been shown by a goodly
number of farmers in the proposed
marketing plan, County Agent T. B.
Brandon today.
Interest **in this organization was
stirred by a visit to the county a few
days ago of Mr. A. E. Gibson, of
Washington, representative of the Fed
eral Farm Board; C. W. Sheffield, of
Raleigh, chief of the bureau of mar
kets in the State Department of Agri
culture; Mr. J. Johansen, of Raleigh,
marketing specialist of the extension
department of State College.
In signing the contracts the pea
nut grower agrees to deliver to the
exchange all marketable peanuts pro
duced by him or for him, provided the
nuts are in marketable condition, ex
cept those peanuts that are to be used
(or personal use or for feeding to live
stock. The exchange will make ad
vances on the peanuts at such prices
as found advisable by the board of
directors of the organization.
The exchange will seel these peanuts
through this or any other central mar
keting organization of which said ex
change is a stockholder. Deductions
will be made from the revenue for the
commodity to cover advances, cost of
transportation, handling, grading, shell
ing, processing, packing, storing, in
suring, selling and marketing such pea
nuts; and for organization, operating
and maintenance not exceeding 5 cents
per 100 pounds.
Partiaf payments on any pool may
be made from time to time as market
conditions and proceeds of sale justi
fy. Final settlement will be made aft
er the closing of any pool as soon as
practicable. All peanuts will be han
dled either through a seasonal or op
tional pool. Inferior or damaged pea-,
nuts at delivery will make the owner
subject to a penalty for this loss.
The exchange will sell these peanuts
to borrow money on the nuts in their
custody and shall exercise other rights
Iredell County, Western District.
All will speak on the State-wide sub
ject, "Cotton Production in North
Carolina —How to Make It Profitable,"
