GOOD ADVICE.

Atwater Republican:
There is disposition on the part
Of many papers to constantly keep
the terrors of not advertising before
the public. A constant whine and
howl is kept up till it becomes
chronic. The Republican does
not believe in this style. If the pub
lie do not appreciate the value of
advertising space the best way to
awaken them is to go and talk it over
personally with the man whom you
desire to make patron. There is no
to use "jaw" the public; they either get
mad or say what an ass that editor is.
We do not remember a case where
any one has been reported as coming
in md saying that they desire to ad-
vertise because of this holding up of
dire results. 1t FATHERS makes JOSH
mark of the advertising business.
There is no intelligent man who does
not know that he must advertise if he
would do any great business. But a
constant bounding in print is very dis
tasteful especially in a local paper
where the editor so plainly paints his
misery and displays the moral. A
grouty newspaper makes it's readers
of the same disposition, and there is
no love lost. A good calm reasoning
and explanation of best plans and
methods to fit the case of the adver-
tiser, is the surest way to secure pat
ronsge. A good readable paper is
one the first requirements. Advertising
in Webster's Dictionary would not
reach the masses even if it is a good
book. Many papers are con-
tent to simply Gil their columns with
whatever matter comes easiest. The
support given q paper is as surely an
index to it's true worth as can be pro-
duced. Then the effect outside the viii
lage or town of a blubbering, whin-
ing, hungry paper is bad. It only
leads to disgust with the paper but
creates an impression that the town
is dead and don't do any busin css.
If the growler would take an inven-
tory of his own faults, and failings,
perhaps be would finds better remedy
thsna cry of distress, and a cold
bluff at the parties who failed to con-
slider his sheet u good advertising
medium. Make an interesting pa:
per, and get the readers and there
will be no great trouble in getting i'd:
vertisers. The fact that q man
goods do not always bring him
remuneration gives wide scope to Tho
publisher to creep out OF the RESPONSE
bility in lack of results. While no
paper can guarantee sure returns
from it's advertisements yet the re-
suits are largely dependent upon the
methods used in promulgating the
ideas. Our advice to the complaining
editor is to get a "hump" on himself
first and then do his work in soliciting
instead of an everlasting kick because
the merchants do not fatten hispaper.
You can fool all people some of the
time, some of the people all of the
time, but you cant fool all the people
all the time. They know a good
thing when they see it and are ready
to "push it along" if THERE'S anything
in it for themselves.
