Connecticut western news., 1884-12-24

 cannot be supported by sub criptions alone. It must also be hber- lily patronized by advertisers, otherwise he subscription price would necessarily be doubled and placed beyond the reach of the majority of people, which would | eventually result in failure of the en- local paper going where tine woodbine twineth. It is evident that business man really owes double duty to the publisher. He should ad- veftise in order to help sustain the pa per, and also that the subscription price can be kept within the reach of all, and right here is where he also helps him. self, for the larger the number of sub scribers the more benefit will he receive from his advertisement.
 There ought to be twice the business done in Canaan and adjoining towns as at present. Every facility is afforded for doing an immense business in this section, and if people would adver- tise and push their business they could double it. Our railroads, express, tele phone, telegraph and mail facilities are excellent. Rents are cheap and the cost of living reasonable. We have good schools, plenty of churches, and every thing to make residence in this sec tion desirable, but we need more enter prise in the way of advertising and thus increasing business. The following is an apt illustration:-
 An exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with sack full of roasting ears, and after lingering around all day returned home without selling them. When asked by his moth 1T why he did not sell the corn, he said, No one asked me what I had in my 4ack." There are many merchants like this little boy. They may have their shelves piled with goods, but if they fail to let the public know it, they art apt to keep them. If you expect to sell goods in this day and age of the world, you must open your sack and let people know what you have for sale, and the vest and only true way to do this is trough the columns of first-class local paper.
 A stranger looking over the advertis' tents in the NEWS would conclude ther tere but few business men in this sec Eion. For once his conclusions would aot be correct-there are many business nen in Canaan and adjoining towns, bu we confess they are not awake to the importance of advertising their business md doing justice to this section by cor 'ectly and fully representing its bu: l. less and industries.
 The NEWS is always ready and anxious Q do it's share in carrying forward ol building up legitimate and honorable business. and 1t takes deep interest Il the welfare of this section and endeavors to encourage and aid all worthy enter orises. but if people refuse to |" I themselves and are indifferent about g .orrect representation of the business of their town or section, we cannot prevent it although we regret it.
 We will mention few industries, 2 few lines of business, and name a few parties who are not represented, but ought to be, by an advertisement or bus mess card in every issue of the NEWS. A 'areful canvass of the business in this 'ection, would undoubtedly show thai we have overlooked many in our hurry while making up the list from memory. light here we remark to all whom Vt mention, that we cheerfully give you g rec advertisement and should like you -also those we have overlooked-to be. gin the new year with yearly advel- isement or business card in the NEWS, md may it be happy and prosperous year to you. We will change your ad sertisements as often as you can reason 1bly expect, and if necessary will enlarge
 he NEWS to accommodate you witt space desired.
