sunshine means pity for the

ADVERTISING PAY?
_ Who Does Not Believe in it
Sets Up His Judgment Against
B* st Business Men of Worid.
The man who conducts his bus-
iness on the theory that it don't
pay and that he can't afford to
advertise, sets up his judgment
in opposition to that of all the
best business men of the world.
Says an experieced advertising
authority: "With a few years'
experience in conducting a small
business on a few thousand dol-
lars' capital, he assumes to know
more than those whose hourly
transactions aggregate more than
his do in a year, and Who have
ide their millions by pursuing
a course that hs says doesn't
pay."
If advertising doesn't pay.
why is it that the most success-
ful" merchants of every town,
large or small, are the heaviest
advertisers? If it doesn't pay,
why do the largest business
firms in the world spend millions
in that way? Is it because they
want to donate those millions to
the newspaper and magazine
publishers, and the manufactures
and jobbers of advertising spec-
ialties or because they don't
know as much about business ns
tli six-for-a-jddllar werchant

icu ous, says the Ameiicaii Stat-
iouer, and it requires more than
the average ;patience to discuss
proposition of whether ad
ng pays or not with that
of acman.
A jovial widower, who is sup-
to be pretty well posted on

day, in hearing dis-

NEW COTTON PICKER
HAS WORK APPROVED
IN FIELD NEAR DALLAS MACHINE'S
VARIOUS USES ARE SHOWN TO
FULL SATISFACTION OF
WITNESSES.
Crowd of Business Men and Farmers to
See It.
From Dallas News, Sept. 18, 1910.
The first practical demonstration of the
Price-Campbell cotton picking machine
to he held in North Texas- was given
Campbell machine ft not alone a eottoM
picker, but can be converted to many
uses on the farm. Special equipment
makes of it either a plow, a disc harrow,
a cotton chopper or a stalk cutter, to
gay nothing of the other uses to which
the propelling power can be applied.
Some of the advantages claimed for the
machine are: It will pick an acre an
hour and get all the open cotton on
the plant; it does not injure the plant
nor harm the unopened bolls or delicate
blooms; it is operated by one man. Ar-
rangements have been made to exhibit
the cotton picker at the coming State
Fair, and a patch of cotton has been
planted in the race coutse infield for this
purpose.
Following the demonstration of the
work of the cotton picker several promi-
nent men of the crowd expressed the
impressions that had been gained by
the mduring the afternoon. Some of

READY FOR PICKING OPEN COTTON.
yesterday afternoon on the Caruth farm,
northeast of Dallas on the Sherman-Dal-
las interurban line, where a portion of
W. C. Burden's cotton crop was harvest-
ed by means of the mechanical picker.
The demonstration was witnessed my
about 500 citizens of Dallas and the im-
mediate vicinity. The opinion of those
qualified to know was that the Price-
Campbell picker is a great success and
that one of great labor problems that
confronts the cotton growing belt today
has been solved.
Seeing Is Believing.
Many of those who composed the party
went to the cotton field in a mood most
skeptical and expressions" frequently
heard indicated that the minds of most
of the crowd were filled with doubts
as to the practicability of any mechanical
contrivance to successfully supplant the
negro cotton picker. Enthusiasm, in-
terest and belief in the invention began
to grow by leaps and bounds, however,
when the motors whirred and the ma-
chine started down a cotton row.
Nimble Fingers Work.
The cotton fibre, snatched from the.
stalks by a battery, of rotating metal
fingers, was carried upward and de-
posited in sacks at the rear of the ma-
chine and as the waves of the fleecy
white —staple flowed into the retaining
receptacles those who watched were
changed from skepticals into admirers.
Complimentary .remarks took the place
of criticisms that had preceded the ex-
hibition. It was another illustration of
the old-time and trite expression, "see
ing is believing." Through the medium
"of sight, those present realized that a
successful cotton picker was an actual-
ity and not an untried scheme.
Many farmers from the section around
the Caruth farm were present.' The
these talks are given below:
Opinions of those who have seen the
machine in successful operation:
Royal A./Ferris, president of the Amer-
ican Exchange National Bank of Dallas,
said: "This new cotton picker, to my
mind, is the most remarkable thing I
have ever seen."
E. D. Murray of the Murray Gin Co.,
said: "Mr. Price has got the cotton
picker; It is a success and can be callect
a success."
/ CoL John N. Simpson, said: "It Is
what I call a perfect machine, U is a
success, gentlemen."
Lewis Dabney: "It is of untold benefit
toward the upbuilding of the South."
R, E. Gahagan of the American Ex-
change National Bank: "It is nearly
enough perfect to be practical."
S. J. Hay, mayor of Dallas: "It sur-
passes my most sanguine expectations."
Prof. S. A. Laird: "It most assuredly
picks the cotton."
Col. "W. A. Bo wen of Arlington: "An
undoubted success. I counted bolls on 110
stalks and found only nine bolls un-
picked."
W. S. Kirby, of Dallas: "I am a cot-
ton planter of many years experience
and have r.een the Price-Campbell Cot-
Price-Campbell machine does the work."
P. R. Freeman, business man of Dal-
las: "A revelation to a skeptic."
C. H. Alexander, prominent business
man of Dallas: " Ithfnk the machine
is a winner and I predict that in a short
time it will be absolutely perfect in Its
operation. The principle is correct and
by virtue of the fact that it does not
disturb or break the unopened boils or
even the bloom, it removes the one ob-
jection I had in mind prior to witnessing
a fair test on September 21, 1910."
pEL D. Roberts, cotton planter, of Red
COTTON PICKER ARRANGED FOR DISC HARROW WORK.
party was composed of both men and
women and was personally directed by
Mr. Price.
To describe the cotton picker in Its
mechanical details would take an ex-
pert mechanician and such a description
would probably "mean little except to one
familiar with machinerjf.
Gasoline Motor- Machine.
The average observer sees a gasoline
motor machine of ten or twelve feet In
length. It is equipped with alternating
row of interlocking metal fingers through
which the cotton stalks pas#. The fiber
Is gathered into storage bag* attached
to the rear. The driver, or operator,
occupies a seat over the forward wheeTS
and operates the machine much after the
manner of driving an automobile.
In action the cottpn picker travels
down the row at a rate of between three
and four miles an hour. In yesterday's
demonstration the stalks were plucked
clean of cotton and an examination after
the machine had passed proved that un-
opened bolls and the growing stalk were
uninjured.
In the field where the exhibition was
given were shown t«'o bales of cotton,
one if which was harvested with til® sot-
ton picker and the other gathered trf
hand, and it was notable that although
the cotton came from the same field the
grade of the bale picked by machinery
was better.
Machine Has Many Uses.
According to the owners, the Price- ]
Qak: "I consider the machine a success
after earful observation. I have been
in Ellis County thirty years. 1 would ad-
vise all cotton farmers to see the Camp-
bell-Price Cotton Picker do the work."
O. B. Scott, cotton planter of Scurry.
Texas: "This machine is all O. K "
Mike H. Thomas, vice president of Har-
greaves Printing Co.. Dallas: "It is tha
success of the century. It will prove to'
labor the saving Marconi does to life and
property."
M. H. Wolfe, a prominent Dallas cot-
ton broker: "When I used to pick cot-
ton it was hard for me. to find a man
that could keep up. but when 1 went in
the patch with this machine I must con-
fess it beats me."
W. W. Johnson, cotton planter, of Gor-
don, Texas: "I witnessed this demonstra-
tion and think it a great suce3s. I've
witnessed other machines, but this is su-
perior to anything I've seen."
S. F. Wiles, of Calexico, Imperial Coun-
ty, California: "My tmpressioj^ a per-
fect success, leaving all bools and squii'es.
I think It Is a great boon to cotton rais-
ers."
C. W. Burdsal, prominent cotton man,
of Dallas: "The Cotton Picker a great
success. No worry about colored help
after this."
The Cotton Picker may be seen daily at
th* «MEce of T. H. Price & Co., 301 Com -
riiorce, in the fields around Dallas, and
and every day during the Great Dallas
Fair. .
