Am ericus. Ca, SpeciaI--GentIemen it is a
surprising thing to our subscribers here to
pick up J our paper and find nothing in it
from here Now we have two articles In
your of1ce which should have appeared in
your last issue and the people pick up the
paper and look it through for something
from Americus ana If they find nothing,
they throw The paper from them. 1 have
had several agents to my paper here and 1
publish all of their articles free of charge.
Our people here don't know anything about
your PEOPLE there and 1t does them no good
TO read matter that they have no knowledge
of. 1t is nothing more than a matter OF busi-
ness TO publish our ms tier from this place.
We can prove all we say and we have no
doubt about anything we write. We can do
you good if you will put our articles in. We
can put out 700 papers each week If you will
print our articles. Ost respectfully our
agent, j. W. w.
This is a sample OF the many letters
We receive. Every race editor OF any
eXperie nee at all has received hundreds
OF letters similar to tnis one 1t is big
lOb to educate the masses of the people
to the point Of appFeciatIng what makes

class race journal. To get the Idea out of
the head Of the average agent and
reader that the. paper must contain
home news" before it is of interest 10
his community, is a herculean task.
When the publisher of The COloTed
American was younger in the business,
ne was often misled by these "big
promises" Of 'laTge sales" provided
home news" and "gush" of every
kind were published; but experience,
after all, is a great teacher. The people
ought TO subscribe, pay for and read
newspaper Tor its news and
fOE its merits. That it should
contain leeal gossip, scandals, etc.,
should cut no figure with the sale of
the paper. Every intelligent agent
knows that there are customers who
constantly complain of the lack of
home news" that they are poor Gus
toners az d only buy the paper when
their name is printed in it. If every
agent insisted on this. and if every
subscriber insisted that his name ap-
pear IN the paper each week, it would
take blanket sheet" to pub, ish the

foolish enough 30 undertake the job
