Deputy County Treasurer
Williamson has evolved a novel
and worthy idea to induce the
early payment of taxes by Offer
ing a graduated percentage dis
count. He would also have the
law so amended that monthly
settlements between the county
and state and municipalities
should be effected. The idea is
one which readily recommends
itself, and will doubtless be
heard of at the next session of
the Legislature.

the thrust of a pointed fact, goes
after the scalp of The Enter

but to US not distateful manner
not distasteful because of the
fact that for the terrible(?) deed
so depictingly recorded we have

ranted by attendant circumstan
ces. But as we read the splenetic
effort of our virile friend we can
but wonder at the apparent lnvi
tation to permit our pen to trav~
ell in the direction of pointed per-
sona(ities and marvel at the bra
zen temerity thus exhibited. 1t
would seem more reasonable that
the studied intellectually of a
knaye who was hated out of our
neighboring city of Tower IN
general principles, stealing and
taking with him printing outfit
and also attempting to steal
away a soda fountain with chat
tel mortgage attachment, might
in his new abode seek the dark
ness of personal oblivion rather
than the arrows of cons.uprated
contume]y. And as the record
of this purchased political expou-
ent is followed through a life of
perfidy and shame in it's chosen
field, and one notes wherein the
sum of 500 of unreturned justice
fines was turned into the Eveleth
treasury only through fear of a
threatened grand jury indlct-
ment. and various incidents of
similar and even baser texture.
one Can but marvel at the reck-
lessness of a man whose business
career is encased in crystal
fabric of such delicate texture.

Timely
Advertising
Suggestions.
TO
BUSINESS
} MEN.

Already we see in windows
and on store counters the dis
plays OF Christmas toys. Not
only are the cheap attractive
things for the holiday season
making themselves prominent.
but the better class Jof goods
suitable for Christmas gifts are
seen everywhere and advertise.
ments for them are beginning to
crop out in local papers, as we'll
es in booklets and circulars, 1t
is thigh time the retailer had
arranged for the holiday adver IT,.
Using campaign. The man who
has been doing conscientious,
persistent advertising during
the fall, will have less difficulty
inducing a profitable and salts
factory business for the holiday
season. The man who only uses
advertising space when business
is good, ought to go after it now
with a determination to make
out Of the holiday season what
he has lost in falling to adver>
tisc properly in the past months 5.
The Christmas campaign should
be a succession of profitable ad
vertisements. Money is more
plentiful than for years Christ
mas will be more generally cele-
brated. Every family will have
gifts for distribution. It is bet
ter to reach these holiday buyers
by carefully planned advertising.
The best way to reach them is
by getting after them early, tell
ing them how excellent is your
stock, and giving Thorn reasons
why it is better to buy of you
then elsewhere. The wide
AWAKE merchant finds profit by
going after Christmas business
and getting what he can out of
the holiday harvest. And the
best advertising medium on the
range is The Enterprise.
Advertising bears the same re
lation to business that food does
to the growth of the body. A
single repast, however stump
tuous, won't make a man of a
boy, or add appreciate pounds
to the advoirdupois. The effect
of a single ad. may not be notice.
able, yet contribute it's full share
towards the advancement of the
business.
Every article advertised should
be made a brick which will help in
paving the way to commercial
success.
You can't always sell goods by
advertising them, but you can ad-
vertise goods so they will sell
themselves.
Too many advertisers consld-
er the price of an advertisement
instead of the results it will
bring.
The advertisement that says
something and is something,
will get business.
