Fowxer, Jr, of New York, Doctor of Publicity. — There must be bargains. People expect them. People will have them. The real bargain is legitimate. ‘gain advertising pays. Bargain advertising is simply anoth- er form of specialty advertising, It has all the advantages ot “one- thing-at-a-time.” When you advertise a bargain, be sure it is a bargain. Bargain advertising wust be honest. The bargain advertisemeat must oc- cupy large space. The price must be given. Do not be afraid of the largest type, the largest space and the oldest of true statements. , Don’t advertise the same bargain,the same way, twice. Don’t tell so much about the bar- gain in your advertisement that peo- ple will have no curiosity to look at it. Bargain advertisements should have one very large head line, and some— times one is enough. Set the price in the largest type. If you only give one figure, and that js an even number of dollars, there is ho necessity of filling up space with ciphers. Hand bills may pay, but not one- tenth as well as the large bold adver- tisement in the local newspaper. Not because the publisher says it, not because I say it, but because expe_ rience proves it : “Newspaper advertis 1ag is the only indispensible form of local publicity, and the only kind that is liable to pay uinety—nine times out of a hundred.” Bethel Notes.

Of course rail. goad futhorities usually conduct their yoads to suit themselves, but es their |, business is with the traveling and ship ping public, it does look like it would} be their desire, and make them more friends, to operate their roads 1p a way that will accomimodate and benefit the Jargest number of peuple. Some months ago the RerLector pent a petition, signed by nearly all of the business. men of Greenville, .o the authorities of the Atlatitic Coast Line asking them to put ona morning train from Parmele to Kinston, or if this should bo# impracticable to shorten the sehedule of the present mail and pas— senger train go that our people could get their.mail earlier. in the evening. The anthorities replied to this, saying in substance that the first request in che petition wus impravticable, as the pat~ Tonage would not Justity the expenese incurred in operating the morning train asked tor. As to the second re- quest they suid they could »vt shorien the schedule of the present train with out breaking conhections that were of considerable importance to business ju- terests along this portion of the line. Last week the writer had occasion to ge off for a few days, and along th trip made it a point to closely observe the schedules aud connections of the train:, and make some suggestions ac- cordingly. First, we noticed that the schedule time between Kinston and Weldon, a distance of 95 miles, is exactly tour hours, which is pretty slow running time for a well equipped road. Even on this schedule our train reaches Wel don at 11:20 o’clock, just 40 minutes ahead of the arrival of any other train With which it has to conneet. Thus itis geen that by faving a little faster run— Din; time aua, not making this train reach Weidon so far ahead of other trains, the svhedule going north could easily be shortened an hour ard the train allowed to leave Kinston’ that much later in the morning without breaking any connection. Nove as we go along that the Washmgtou and Ply- mouth branches. occupy about the game position, and what applies to this ‘branch can apply to them also. Then again, in the afternoon our train isheld at Weldon until 4:10 e’clock, 30 mintites after all other trains have departed, while if. our train was a'lowed to leave Weldon soon after the arrival of the Seaboard train trom the suu.h at 3 o'clock, and connect at Halifax with the north ound Coast Line train, there Would be another con- - siderable saving in time. i ut the railroad people may argue that the most important connection for mr evening train is with the Norfolk ina “Shoo Fly” which passes abyut 5:40. Well, let “us ot wu io* is ea a Bh ii : ; ery ay hie \ ve see +; he e. { ~*~ Took at the schedule of that traina| jaunoment, The morning “Shoo Fly”), _‘Kimebh bert tile governmenkyraiy reaches Norfolk at 10 o’clogk and on This is of benefit principally to the people along the section of that road nearest to Nortolk who wish to go the ety shopping. It weuld be practically little or no inconvenience to those peo- ple if their stay in Norfolk was shortencd only one fo.r, and the tran: allowed to leave aud reach Hobgood an hour eat lier, connecting there with our train. This would permit our train to come on much earlier and the change would prove a vast bénefit and convenience to the people of Kinston, Gritton, Ayden, Greenville, Washington, Piymoutu, Williamston, Scotland Neck and inter mediate stations, ) | Upon the whole the RerLecror be- lieves that the Coast Line authorities ‘could, by making better running time witn the Weldon—Kinston train and adopting the sagyesfions herein relative to leaving time at Weldon and Norfolk, shorten the schedule on this road at least one hour each way —that is leave Kinston an hour later in the morning and return an hour sooner in the even— ing—and at the same time rot inter- tere in the slightest with any other connections this train has to make. The people would appreciate such a change. ANOTHER GOOD MOVE BY THE SEABOARD AiR LINE, pnts emcees The remarkable energy of the officers of the Seaboard Air Line in their efforts untold value to this rection. This line is Winning thousands of tricnds by its broad and progressive policy. ‘The latest Ulustration of its workis found ina letter addressed by Vice-Presicent St John to’ the’ Manufacturers’ Reeurd’ ot Baltimore, askin, that paper to ps e- pare acomprehensive supplement de- voted to the territory tributary to the Seaboard and its system, and offering it this be done to buy not less than 10,000 copies and caretully distribute them in the New England and Middle States.A distribution of this kind caretully made must prove of very g eat value to every town and to every business man from Norfolk to Atlanta "and trom Ruthei- tordton .o Wilmington. Mr. St. Johus letter, which is in itself a goud adver- tiseme:t of this section, is as follows : “The Seaboard Air Line, believing that the territory tributary to its lines pvssesses every advantage for diversified manufactures, for general agriculture, tor truit-growing and every home attrac- tion, would be glad to enlist the aid of the Magutacterers’ Record in a special effort .o attract the attention of tae peo ple ot New England aud the Middle- States to thissection. | shali be glad to contract with you fur at least 10,V0U cupies of a special Svaboard Air Li ¢ Supplement to be devoted wholly to the territory tributary to this read from Nortolk-bortsmeouth to Adlanta and from Ruthertordton to Wilmimgton.
