VOLUME XVI.

With this number the TRIBUNE
enters its 2Gtl year OF existence.
If it il not what it should be, the
fault is not all the publishers. III
the northwest it would be almost
impossible to find a city of the size
Of Mineral Point where so much
business is done, so much wealth
exists, aud printing so little III de-
maud. Not half the merchants
doing business in Mineral Point ex-
mend a dollar IA year IN advertising /;
scarcely one III ten OF our business
men use cards, letter heads, bill
heads, or printed envelopes. We
doubt if the same can be sad Oh
any other burg west of The Ale
ghanics.
Yet, we believe our people are as
liberal and cnterprislng AS other
neople-thc trouble is that they
never give the subject OF advcftlS'
ing the consideration it merits, and
do not know the value aud confth'
ienee of such things AS printed bill
headings, letter headings aud en-.
velopcs.
There are few firms in Minera,
Point that ADVERTISE quite extern
sively, and they are known to 40
by far the heaviest business IN Their
respective lines. That their bust
ness is the result of advertising, we
do not pretend; but that they
would pay out money for advertl>.
Ing unless they thought it proii'a'
be il unreasonable TO suppose, and
reflection upon Their saSacity AS
business men Without consider
ing whether the use of printers
iuk brings customer to II house OF
not, we think it easy TO demonstrate
that he who advertlSeS IN a home
paper can lose but little. Let us
suppose that Mr.. Deler, or some
other enterprisng merchant, ad'
vert ses To the extent ct $500 per
wear. OF course the publishers
Will purchase of MIR. ID. the articles
they want in his line, rather than OF
firm who does not advert sc; be
sides, they will influence their en-,
ployees and ficnds, rs TAR as posi-.
bic, to do the same. Thus, the add
ycrtiser will sell through the per
sonal influence of the publishers,
Counting nothing for the iniiueHce
u the advertisements, nj least five
or six hundred dollars worth per
year. There il scarcely a business
man in Mineral Point, especially
among dealers in staple articles,
who viii not admit that his sales to
printers, and through printers IN
Nucnce. at least double or treble
his bin for advertising. This being
true, it must be admitted that his
loss is small If his profit is nothing.
In entering its Goth volume, the
TRlnuSE is all that it's income will
slow il t, be. II no Improvement
is noticed during the year, IT will be
because there is no dcma ID to war
rant mourning the necessary expense
