ADVERTISING PAYS.

The TRIBUNE has always been cham
pion of advertising. 1t has not been an
advocate of advertising altogether from
selfish motives, as any constant reader
will bear witness. 1t has not only advo-
Gated advertising as a profitable invest
ment for business man, but for loca-
lions, villages and communities, and it is
to this portion of the subject that we
propose to mainly devote this article.
All will recognize the fact that this year
Cheboygan has had more summer visi-
tors, more travel through the place. more
people coming to look over the county
with view to locate than ever before.
Every one sees this state of affairs, but
few stop to consider what we've the causes
which led to this result. There is no
one we think who will deny that the
change has been very largely brought
about through the TRIBUNE constantly
keeping the advantages of Cheboygan
before the public. Three years ago Che
boygan was hardly known outside of a
very limited circle of people who had
friendly or business interests i'm the
place. Now everything is changed.
Scarcely paper can be picked up pub
lished any where in the state but which
has in some way mention of Cheboy
gan and vicinity, Thus through the eff
forts Vi the local paper our village and
county has become generally known, adj
vertised extensively. The statements
made by the Tribune shave always been
within the boun6s of truth. Still many
of them have been received with creduli-
iy, by those who have had no idea THAI
any agriculture products could be prof
itably grown in this s, c.ion of the state
An opportunity is row afforded to our
people to substantive every statement,
made by the TRIBUNE in this respect,
and 1T the same time, advertise this sec

other way. We mean by an exhibit Of
The agr.cult Iral resources of the county

exhibit for the past three months,
becau:e We know that it would

one last appeal to our citizens, not to

Chippewa County, with the result of a
fine show going down from that county.
Shall we permit them 10 EXCEL us and
receive benefits that we might have 1e-
ceived but for our lethergy ? The indica-
tions are that the coming State Fair at
Detroit will be the most successful and
largest attended of any one ever held.
The eyes of the people of the state have
been attracted this way. Let them be
firmly convinced by actual observation,
that farm products of all kinds can be
properly and successfully grown here,
and the tide of emmisration will turn
this way As it never has come TO us yet
We can advertise this county i'm this
way as it has New Ell been advertised be-

Although it has been year not the
best for farm crops, We can make show
of which we need not be ashamed. All
that is needed is tor every one to take an

crops for exhibition. We are confident
that some person who is we'll qualified

per person decided upon to take charge
