Williams, E. N. Good, K. T. Haynes, John Patterson Room 201 Drane Building Lakeland, Fla. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Farmers are beginning to realize that they should be business men and use the same business methods used by merchants and other business peo ple. But most farmers don't yet know the value of good advertising Farmers of this State can get a good suggestion from the following story of a farmer who bought advertising by the year in the Headlight pub lished at Big Stone, South Dakota: "There is something new in The Headlight this week. H. L. Hyatt came down from his home' ten miles up the lake and inquired what our rate would be on a certain amount of advertising space by the year. We told him and he said he would' take it. He said he always had something to sell or trade, or else wanted some thing, and he believed that a regular space in The Headlight in which he could put anything he pleased at any time would be just the thing to get results. So there you are. We have done a good deal of advertising for farmers in the last twenty years, but this is the first time we ever sold a farmer a year's space. "A good many farmers put up bul letin boards in front of their farms,- and put on a notice of whatever they have to sell from time to time, which is a good idea, though in these days of automobiles the traveler doesn't al ways stop to read a bulletin. "If you could put up a bulletin and then have a guarantee that 2,000. peo ple would go past it every week for fifty-two weeks in the year, and that they would all be going slow enough to read it, it would be worth more,. wouldn't it? "Well, that is what Mr. Hyatt has done." There is no evidence to prove that the "movies" are imperiling the sight of the nation. Careful investigation leads to the opposite conclu sion. Recent improvements and greater care in operating the projecting machines have al most entirely eliminated the mechanical defects, so you may be quite certain that when your eyes trouble you while viewing moving pic tures, it is due, not to the pictures, but to defective eyes which call for optomet ry's aid. The person with normal eyes will not suffer at pic ture shows unless visited to excess. At the very first in dication of eye trouble call and let us make a careful, scientific examination of your eyes. Cole Jewelry Co. PHONE 173 LAKELAND FLORIDA See W. K.
