However, we passed that over, because we instantly realized that the only reason the speaker ever thought of being in busi- ness, or of doing anything, was to get the money. However, the question can be fairly asked by many merchants of Key West who might put it this way: “Is advertis- ing a profitable business investment for the merchants of Key West?” To answer the question theoretically, as it is asked, eliminates from our argu- ment the proof that is furnished us by suc- cessful examples of the use of ‘advertising in The Citizen and causes us to discuss, in an admittedly hurried way, the query that comes to every business man, as he con- templates the expenditures he makes for advertising. The returns from advertising in The Citizen are two-fold. There is the direct return, as for example, when a sale of shoes brings customers into a store to buy shoes, and there is the indirect, but pos- sibly as valuable return, which comes in increased prestige that grows upon the con- sciousness of the reading public and causes them to appreciate a difference between the regular advertiser and the non-adver- tiser. This can be illustrated by a bank, offering ostensibly the same service as other banks, but which, nevertheless, through the medium of a series of adver- tisements identifies itself, in the public mind, with modern, up-to-date, efficient business policies. 20 LYNCHED—84 SAVED The annual lynching statistics of Tuskeegee Institute, one of the outstand- ing colored educational institutions in the country, have been made public for the year 1935. Twenty persons were lynched in the United States, seven of which were in Mis- issippi and all except one in California were credited to southern states. Two of the victims were white men. An encouraging factor is that this re- port shows that eighty-four persons were saved by officers from possible harm at the hands of mobs, and of these sixty-seven were Negroes. This means, according to the Tuskeegee figures, that in four cases out of every five in which mobs sought to injure Negroes the white officers of the law protected the Negroes. Of the twenty lynchings one over half took place in Louisiana and Mississippi leaving only nine which occurred in other states. Florida, Georgia and Texas were the reported locations of two each and California, North Carolina and Tennessee one each. These figures indicate that pub- lic sentiment is fairly generally opposed to the crime of lynching. INTERESTING Seventeen years ago Dr. George B. Winter appeared before the American Den- tal Association to read a paper describing his technique in removing impacted third molars. His procedure was revolutionary and many reputable dentists took him for a quack. He was virtually booed out of the meeting. In November, of last year, Dr. Winter was elected President of the same as- sociation. His experience is the same as that of many other famous men, who de- velop new processes in technical- lines, ' with the exception that he, at least, has been honored by those who derided him. As much cannot be said for some other pioneers of medical science and _ surgical skill. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Stuck WRAF To OFFER IN PLACE.
