A Good Entertainment A rare opportunity for the people of Clinton and vicinity to attend an excellent entertainment, and one which was not grasped by as many as one would have expected, was giv- en Tuesday evening when the "Favor- ite Four," of London put on a concert in the town hall, under the auspices of the 'Clinton Hospital board. The cast was -composed of Mrs. Myrtle Arinstrong, violinist;. Mrs: Gladys Topping Cornell, contralto soloist; Mrs. Wilson, •celloist and reader and Mrs. Smith, pianist. Ev- ery number presented was highclass and the entertainers exhibited 'many and varied talents in the several num- bers offered. Whether in Song, instrumental mu- sic or in reading and impersonation, the various numbers were much en- joyed. Those who missed the enter- tainment missed a treat. Again "It Pays" Messrs. Ball and 'Zapfe are con- vinced, also, that it pays to adver- tise. They advertised last week re- garding a mattress -contest, answers to be coupons returned. Mr.. Zapfe showed us a big envelope full of cou- pons clipped from The News -Record, sent in by subscribers in ` the sur- rounding urrounding community and some from much further afield, which he was sending hi to the company whose wares were being advertised. 'Certainly a lot of people saw and read that advertisement. It ' •is a good' hint to advertisers to have something worthwhile in each ad. sent out. If that is done the results are sure.
