but church was well attended Sun
day and Sunday night, conducted by
Elder J. B. Lashlee.
Charles Wilbanks’ father is back
again from Oklahoma. He says he.
intends to stay for some time. He is
about the oldest man the writer has
ever seen, being 106 years old in June
of this year. He gets around as glib
as a man of 30 years. He says he
can do a good day’s work yet. We
are sure glad to have the old gentle
man with us.
John Pennington of Grubbs was here
Satui-day on business.
Cord Ball, a good citizen of Balch,
passed through here Saturday en
route to Grubbs. We would like to
know how he made it over the roads
to Grubbs. We think he traveled
the lower road for that is putting it
in a light form.
Ben Ford lost one of his work
mules last week.
Our postmaster, E. E. Bible, and
Jim Duffer went out camp hunting
* few days ago, but came in with
out any turkeys. Turkeys must be
scarce or Bert would sure get one.
We understand they got their tent
and equipment burned from some
cause while they were out hunting
and had to come in home sooner than
they intended.
Sam Cook, the dredge boat man,
has returned after a few days’ ab
sence.
We are glad to see Cache river go
ing down again. We can soon catch
fish and young squirrels will be ripe.
We can have our choice on wet days.
John Pennington is having some
improvement done in the way of
ditching. We think that if other
farmers would do likewise it would
be a great help to the community in
J general.
Some of our good farmers are look
ing after seed corn and cotton seed.
Seed are coming high again, as usu
al. Boys say they are going to save
planting seed next time. Oh, but
wilt thou?

want to waste it in that way.

Get the Personal Touch
i
The greater part of our 1914 product
has already been sold—and the year is young. And
in our entire advertising campaign, not a word was said about
the quality of the car.
♦
We merely asked the public to get
in it, drive it and judge its quality for themselves.
Bombast and adjectives were absent. We rested our case wholly
with the intelligence of the people. The result speaks for itself.
Adv ertising as a rule seeks to excite
and overwhelm. It assumes that the public is utterly
ignorant. It allows the reader no right to think, but raves and
rants about superiority, perfection and infallibility. Two hundred makers ol
cars declare their cars the best. How ridiculous!
So-called advertising experts de
clared positively that our advertising campaign would I
prove a decided failure. They said that we should have done the
people's thinking for them—that vve should have described the car, printed the
prices in black figures, tilled the spaces with mechanical details and claimed the
earth. Of course that’s what most advertising does.
Yet no real sensible man buys an
automobile without looking at it and riding in it.
We figured that it was better to invite the people to look at our car
in a rational way than to rush them down the row with tempestuous advertising. We figured that if we *
admitted the public's intelligence and common sense and asked the privilege of personal demonstration, the 1 m
car would sell itself—if worthy. If it wasn’t worthy, nothing would sell it.
To try to rush the sale of an automobile with
breathless advertising is to arouse suspicion that you have something
to conceal and that you don’t want the “prospects” to Vok too long or too closely.
To ask prospects to come and look at the car, ride in it, drive it and their own thinking, is to prove
that you have something worth buying. You show your own confidence m its quality. * £ '■
We bel ieve that this is the only automobile j
concern in the world that has ever admitted publicly that the
public has any sense. All other automobile advertising has Hatly said: “What
do you know about automobiles? Read this arid buy something else at your peril. ”

¥ ci me /American anu Canadian puunc nas actually
thanked us for our invitation to ''"‘Get the Personal 'Pouch" and the
Mitchell car has sold itself on its merits. This is the greatest tribute that has ever been
paid to an automobile. The thousands of men and women who have bought our 1914 car, went to see
it without previous knowledge of its style, appearance or construction. They rode in it, drove it
themselves and tested it in their own way. Our salesmen didn’t even ask—or expect—to ride with them.
The advertising gave them no information—not
even the prices. There wasn't one solitary inducement or lure.
There was absolutely nothing in the advertisements to excite admiration or
curiosity. The chatter of salesmen was conspicuous by its absence.
The car did its own talking. It proved itself and it sold itself,
and even’ person who bought it is going t j enjoy the possession of it every hour he is in it. While
we mad no promises, no claims, and offered no guarantees or service, naturally these are
pre-supp sed when you buy from a concern that has the proud record of
Lights years or faithful service to the American rublic
