Entered at the poatofflce at Carroll
ton, Texas as second-clansmatter.
We haven't heard any one
complain of any need of rain
this week.
In the olden days a jitney was
a 5c piece but n'ow it is the pop-
ular mode of traveling.
It is getting so now that the
only time a fellow rides a pass
-nger train is when they miss
the jitney._
Why go to Dallas when you
can buy it at hime just as cheap,
if not cheaper. Try your home
merchant first,
“Printers ink make millions
think.” If you don’t believe-it
just give it a trial, you will soon
be convinced.
Oat mites and chiggers are in
order. If you do not get your
allottment it ls’nt their fault, the
trouble is with yourself.
One farmer was heard to re-
mark that he would like to “can
up” some of the rain that fell the
past week to use when he needed
it in July and August.
You cannot spend time any
more profitably than to read each
and every word in the advertise-
ment of the Chronicle. - Then
go the Carrollton merchants and
they will live up to their adver-
tised word and not come with
the excuse that it was an hour
sale or that they have just sold
out the last of the article.
Some people in this commun-
ity see articles advertised at a
bargain, so they think, and will
drive to Dallas to buy it at per-
haps 25c or 50c less than they
can buy it for here; never taking
it into consideration the price of
gasoline and oil and take chances
on a blow out or serious engine
trouble. There are not many
such people here but these will
live and learn to buy at home.
Docs It Pay
To Advertise?
Advertising has made the vlc-
trola dog famous.
It has made the cash register
a big brother to retailers all over
the world.
It has introduced the world to
a substitute for sole leather.
It is displacing the truck horse
with 40 horse power trucks.
It has helped you to an ap-
preciation of Stetson hats, Walk-
Over, Douglass and Emerson
shoes.
It has made the hand written
tetter in business an oddity.
It has put hair oil on heads
where no hair oil would do any
good, and on heads where no oil
was needed.
It*lms put castoria down your
throat, put bristles on your
gums and then give you a rubber
set.
It has put a Gillette against
your hayfield.
It has put Murine in your eye,
Cuticure on your pimple rouge
in your wrinkles, Pears in your
bath and Ivory in the family
wash, Arrow collars around your
neck.
It has jammed your feet in
hole proof sox, Paris garters on
your legs and Tifiany rings on
.your fingers.
It has stuck numerous brands
of cigars between your teeth,
worn out your jaws on Wrigley’s
and posted you on what to buy
to cure corns, warts, bunions,
gout and ingrowing toe nails.
Go anywhere you will, do any-
thing you wish and advertising
has had a hand in it—absolutely.
Then some people ask, “Does
advertising pay?"
Mr. Will Myers loaded the
Methodist preacher and about
twenty other boys and Jake
Gravley into his big truck last
Saturxap and went on a little pic-
nic to the zoo. Their ball game
was rained out with some boys
in North Dallas, but a nice time
was enjoyed by all.
