The statement next below ap-
peared in the Frostburg Forum of
October 9, 1897:
1t is the duty of every citizen Of a COM
1nunity to be loyal to his own community,
not simply in sympathy and sentiment,
but substantially. Ones own merchants,
for instance, have first claim upon one,
and as long as their goods are as cheap,
other things being equal, they should
have the local patronage. Many people
are thoughtless in these things, not seeing
that the common wealth of a town is in
creased by mutual loyalty. Trade at home
if you can do as we'll as elsewhere. The
Forum believes you can. A glance at the
pages of this paper will show that the bust
ness men o. Frostburg are setting the
proper example. They do not wish to
patronize foreign papers in preference to
home papers. The moment they are as
sured they have good advertising me-
dunn in their midst they respond imme
diately and literally. Now follow their
example. Frostburg first, las, and all
the time.
Abr0boS the above remarks, the Forum
prints a note from firm in Baltimore
that our local dealers may see that this
paper is not selling its valuable space at
reduced rates in order to catch foreign
advertisers:
BALTIMORE, MD, Sept 24th, 1897,
The Frostburg Fo'um,
Frostburg, Md
Replying to yours of the 2and we regret we
cannot give you our ad as your price does not
suit lis Respectfully yours,
JULIUS HINES & SON.
In its issue of October Io, under
the heading of " Frostburg First,
Last and All the Time, - the Forum
again says:
The Forum is glad to know that its
statement in last issue that our town
motto should be--F10StbWg, frSf last
and all the t1Wc-met with hearty re
sponse. From business point of view
the meancst man il the community is the
one who neglects the enterprises of his
own town and slips away and trades else
where, imagining that he is saving cent.
Let us grant that he does save a cent for
the moment. IN the long run that cent
will likely lose hlm fifty cents Why?
Because had he strengthened his own
town with his p tronage he would III the
course OF time, have added to the general
wealth and this general increase III Valu-
alton would have augmented the price OF
MS own property, De lilat what II MAY.
This is business republicanisn. Protect
your own town against others by being
true to il Let everybody lineup for
Frostburg merchants and all-and make
this lining up manifest by dealing with
our own people.
After appearance of item of Oc-
tober 9 the JOURNAL at once penned
all inquiry to Messrs. Hines & Son
for the facts in the case and re-
ceived-
I, The letter with which the cor
respondence opened:
FRosTBURG, Md, Sept. s, 1897.
Gentlemen -
Enclosed you will find your adver
tisement, clipped from the MINING Jour
ngxsHSyssgagaCRS;NaSIzeaSzaszEEES1
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1897-10-23

of his own town." ETC., and that
protecting your own town against
others is business republicanism.
Now let us hazard the inquiry
whether all of those virtuous, cor
rect, just, estimable, dutiful and
patriotic expressions of business dill
lettanteism would have appeared in
the Fo,um had Messrs. Hines &
Son written September "a a favora-
bic instead of an unfavorable letter
The careful reader will doubtless
note that when the Forum wrote
that patronage of home merchants
is business republicanism,' it for
got that it had assured the Messrs.
Hines & Son, of Baltimore, that
Eve should be pleased to do some
business with you
And that when it enjoined its
readers to protect your own town
against Others by being true to it, -
the Forum forgot that it had written
to Messrs. Hines & Son that 'it is
the best advertising medium i'll this
section to induce them to be dis
loyal to their "own town."
Indeed, in its second letter it
stated to Messrs. Hines & Son-not
only that eve shall be pleased, y
but I'VE shall be much pleased to
do some business with you. That
is, I'VE shall be much pleased tc
have your invitation to our people
to become disloyal to Our home
merchants, ~ "our general wealth
and our "oWn prosperity y go tc
our large circulation''-even to
"people that you do not reach
through any of the other county
papers.
1t thus actually contended that
it had more opportunities and more
facilities to injure town protec-
ton and "business republicanism'
than any of the county papers.
1t did not then think that " Frost
burg is first, last and all the time.
1t was Baltimore first, and H0Stbu19
all the Hme-f0r 7VhafiS LETT.
1t is plain to be seen that the
letter Of Julius Hines & Son,
written September "a, furnishes a
complete answer to the question
Why Did Not Jack Eat Any Sup
PERI"
The old fable of the fox who,
after finding that the grapes were
out of reach, decided that " they are
sour anyway" also illustrates quite
aptly the reason why the E0,nm at
last determined that it would be
SUPERFICIAL to Frostburg.
The letter of these gentlemen to
the JOURNAL, it has been seen, not
only relieves it of the implications
1, Of selling its space cheaper to
foreign than to home advertisers,
and
?, Of thus encouraging home
buyers to patronize foreign houses,
but it affords valuable pointers tC
both newspapers and advertisers
I, That there is more value in
the quality than in the quantity OF
CirCulatlOn;-
?, That a paper whose ability and
character have won it fame and
name is the one whose advertise
ments are taken with a confidence
similar to that reposed in its read
ing matter;-
3, That advertisements accom-
panied by the matter which makes
such papers readable and credible
have tenfold more force than when
placed alongside the small talk OF
amateur papers.
Messrs. Julius Hines and Sons
are people who evidently hold and
maintain the idea that no ADVERTISE

dium in this section; being the peoples
paper, it is read by the people.
The circulation will not be less than
1900 each week.
THE FRoSTBURG FORUM,
Frostburg, Md.
The first paragraph of Messrs.
Hines & Sons letter to the Jour
NAL, October IL, printed below, in
dicates the substance of their reply
to the Forum.
2, To the Messrs. Hines the fol-
lowing response was then made:
FRosTBURG, Md, Sept. 22, 1897.
In answer to yours of Sept. will say
that the best we can do OH 4i inch cleo
tro for months is IS.
We should be much pleased to do some
business with you. We have large cir
culation and it reaches people that you
do not reach by any of the county papers.
We are yours very respectfully,

Gentlemen =
Replying to yours of lth,
received this day, the letter, as quoted in
the Forum IS exactly what we wrote
them and enclosed please find the letters
the Forum" wrote to US.
We had never asked this paper for a rate,
but theirs of September Sth was sent us,
paper in your city, which has (as II claims
a circulation OF 1900, W wrote and asked
them for u rate on our 4-inch eiectrotype.
In answer they sent us their letter of
22d, to which we replied on the oath.
Now had this been an established paper,
we certainly should have given them an
we are paying you considerably more than
their price. But being a new paper we
did not think it worth the price it asked.
Unsolicited by you, we wish to say the
following for your paper:
We are using over six hundred news
papers in all parts of the country, some of
which have much larger circulation than
yours, but in all the papers we have on
our list there is not single one that has
sold for US one-half the goods that the
Mining Journal OF Frostburg, Md,
has. Il is true we pay many of these
papers less per thousand circulation than
we do yours, and that is why we held off
now our only regret is that we did not use
your columns long before we did, as we
think your paper is the most profitable
medium we have ever used.
Hoping we have given you all the infor
nation you desire, we are respectfully
yours,
JULIUS HINES & SON.

reader that it took the Forum nearly

Hines & Sons letter of September

every citizen of a community to be
