There are two cities by the sea where
skies are always blue,
And fields of the morning always
sparkling with dew.
With a smile on your face and a smile
in your heart,
In these two cites you can walk from
Phantom of trouble apart;
And your laughter is sweet as the lilt
of a song,
For you know not the care of the
world, or its wrong;
In a spot where past and future might
bury their rue,—
Two cities,_ that to you will always be
true.

And with a smile on your face and

ever ycur goal,
As other cities are crushed, and oth-

On their records the emblems of doubt
and dispair,
Palacios and Collegeport shall win,
standing stalwart and true,
For "ACHIEVE" is the word that will

When Palacios and Collegeport, worn,
weary and old,
Look backwards on years their suc-
cess having been told;
Look backward to that word faith,
and a promise to do more,
For their cities by the sea, as in days
of yore-;
And never let their visions be faded
in the briny deep.
Nor the wail of a bugle call them to
retreat,
Then its "Hurrah" for Palacios and
Collegeport, the sheen of their
dew.
The Twin Cities by the sea that al-
ways stand stalwart and true.

advertising. Fatlmas, Chesterfields
and Velvet Tobacco spent $2,717,000
to advertise. Lever Brothers made an
outlay of Ifi!,614,000 to advertise Lux
and Rinso and the Overland car was
publicized to the tune of $2,604,000.
This chart, which was made by
Freeling Foster, was based on records
of the American Newspaper Publish-
ers' Association and National Adver-
tising Records.
In view of the fact that each one
of the above companies showed big
profits on its 1926 business, the proof
is conclusive that—"It pays to adver-
tise."
The citizen of Collegeport and Pa-
lacios who does not mingle with the
crowds that congregate at various
places, especially in street corners,
drujj stores and various places, on
Saturday nights, misses the best part
of his life.
There, are gathered the leaders of
our communities, people who are in
the forefront of progress, some are
business men, some are rice and cot-
ton farmers and many are stock rais-
ers. But whatever their vocation,
they are people whom it is pleasant
to know. There should be a more
marked disposition among these peo-
ple to be more profuse in praise for
their twin cities. Whatever you do
and wherever you go, you should talk
for the improvement and growth of
these two cities.
Folks, we no longer want to be call-
ed a village, we want to outgrow that,
make these two cities by the sea take
on a Metropolitan appearand. Now,
with your praise, work and almighty
help we can make the twin cities, two
of the best looking cities of their size
in the South.
Do you know that the friendliness,
hospitality and the attitude in gener-
al of Palacios and Collegeport toward
strangers is commented on frequently.
I am sure if the people in these two
communities will work together, that
in several years to come they will
amply be repaid for the time and
money that they are investing for the
development of modern ideal cities by
the sea.

BIG COMPANIES
FIND IT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
The McClure Newspaper Syndicate
of New York last week issued a chart
showing the ten largest advertisers in
the United States for 1926. Of course,
the total amounts, naturally, repre-
sent some money invested for adver-
tising in other countries, but the great
bulk of the advertising was done in
the United States. These 10, and the
amount each spent for advertising in
1926 are as follows:
The Chevrolet people invested $4,-
095,000 in the advertising of their
car. The Reynolds Tobacco Company
spent $4,034,00 in popularizing Cam-
els and Prince Albert and $3,527,000
was spent for Postum and Grape-Nuts
advertising. Listerine spent $3,484,-
000 and the American Tobacco Com-
pany spent $3,333,000. Proctor &
Gamble spent $3,051,000 to spread the
word on Ivory Soap and Crisco, and
