AT A DISCOUNT There 15 an old and very truc “What the eye see, the heart doesn't fancy,” but it is also true that the eye sées many things that blind the heart to that which it would otherwise fancy. How often have you seen a blemish on the face of an otherwise beautiful woman, so noticcable that whenever you looked at her, you could ‘ot keep your eye off the blemish? She might be wonderfully gowned, marvelously groomed and exquisitely coiffed, but try as you might, you could see only the mar. The appearance of anything eithef repels or invites ownership. Eighty per cent of those things so!d today are purchased through, or the purchase is influencéd by, the eye. What a thing looks like, there- fore, is extremely important in creating a desire in the minds of others for it. The appearance of a town is just as important as the appearance of a ' package, the appeardnce of a show window, clothing, or anything that is purchased in the stor® or on the market. Why do they put colored picture wrappers on cans of béans, corn and tomatoes—it doesn't make the contents of the can any better. Why do automobile manufacturers spend so mueh time, care and money on the exterior appearancé of the motor car—it doesn't make the motor yun ‘any smoother of last any longer, or make the car ride any easier. Any package, even though the contents be unharmed, depreciates in value if thé cover 3 soiled, torn, or the least bit mutilated. Furniture with the least scratch; a suit, though never worn, that has faded, a book With a broken cover; a shirt with a torh tail, are less than the best and so sold at a discount. A perfeet animal with a skin blemish never takes the prize. Look around you and see all those things that are made to look attractive, in order that you may be attracted thereby—then, think of your town. The picture of many communiti€s would serve well for a puzzle picture of “What's Wrong Here?” Stand back and taKe a good look at the picture of your own front yard, your Store, your office building, your factory. . Does#it look good or are you half ashamed of it? Are you proud of it, or do you apologize for the looks of it when company calls or people start talking about it? Sclling a town—and to keep pace with modern times, it must be sold—is like sclling anything else. Therefore, how your town looks is of vital importance. There are few towns that are not very much like the “otherwise beautiful woman"—their beauty is so marred by blem- ishes that the beholder cannot see the attractiveness for looking at the sears. Do your part—set an example by eliminating the scare, the blemish- €5 of your corner and others will do likewise. It's poor business to al- low the value of your community to be discounted by a poor appear- ance. FACe e . Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone, Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.
