A Bale of Cotton Given Away. From the Progressive Retailer, There's a progressive new store in Marietta, Ga., working a sale scheme that is attracting attention in and around this thriving little Georgia town. The sign over the door reads, '*'The German Store.'"' It's around the corner, off the Square where practically all the other big stores are located. One of THE PROGRESSIVE RETAILER'S travelers was through Marietta the other day, and saw parading the streets & wagon drawn by a little black mule. Its driver was blacker than the mule. The wagon displayed large banners telling of ''a bale of cotton given away at 'The German Store.'"' ""Where's the German Store?'' he asked several of the towns-people. ''Just around the corner,'"" was the reply from each one, It eseemed as ''just around the corner'' had been hammered into their minds pretty strong, so just around the corner the ''P, R."" man went, for he was sure that here he was going to get another subscriber. |

There stood the kig bale of cotton on a platform in front of the store. Two young men were found busy arranging stocks in a neat little store. ''How's the sale going?"' ''Fine,'' was the re reply. - ply. reply. It was learned that with each dollar purchase a ticket was J given which would enable the holder to par participat'e - ticipat'e participat'e in a chance to get the bale of cotton at the drawing on June 15th. The sale has proved a remarkable suc success, - cess, success, It is being widely advertised. The country people around Marietta are coming ia, they [are being pulled "just around the corner'' off the main shopping streets, and advertising is doing it. These two young men are progressive - they are growing. Don't buy Clothing before seeing the German Store.
