CLEARLY 4 MISTAKE.

The Window Reporter, one of the
best of Southern Minnesota papers,
contains very strong editorial ad-
dressed to the merchants of that town
on the subject of advertising. Some
merchant, it appears, had complained
because the Reporter had advertised
for q prominent Chicago house which
does mail order business. The Re-
porter tells the merchant that it had
much rather advertise for it's home
people, but that ii they won't it must
do business with those who will.
What the Reporter says is true of
all the other papers in the state.
Newspapers do more for their home
towns-and receive less-than any
other trade or profession. They
would like to do more, and would If
they could. But. Incidentally, the
men who make the paper must live,
and this takes a moderate amount of
money. If the local merchants got off
the ark with Noah, they don't believe
In printers ink, and so the editor has
to do business with people who do.
This short sightedness of the country
merchants has given the big Chicago
and New York houses clear field,
and the former are losing thousands
of dollars worth of business cash
orders-that goes to the cities instead
of to the local merchant, because
these merchants haven't sense and po-
likeness to invite the people to do
business at home and make them see
that it is to their interest.
Merchants who do not believe In adj
vertising are not to be convinced by
what a paper says because they rea-
son that it is the publishers business
to get advertisements and that be ar
cues only from his point of view. To
this cIass--and we are happy to say
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1900-08-30

that, as far as ST. Cloud is concerned,
we have "a few as any city of 10. 600 in
the state-we submit the foIIowina
letter from one of the most successful
mercantile houses in Minneapolis,
j. w. Thomas & Co., written to the
editor OF the Window Reporter, which
is well worth their serious considera-
tion:
I'VE think it very short sighted on
the part of local merchants not to
advertise in their own local paper.
We doubt If the merchants in the
smaller towns appreciate the amount
of business which goes to the larger
cities; and much of this might be
kept at home if the merchant went to
the small expense of advertising their
wares to let the people know what
they had IN stock. We always advise.
people to patronize their home mer-
chants as far as possible and only
order out of town those things which
they cannot get from home merchants.
We sometimes think thatthe merchants
do not realize the purchasing ability
OF their home people and for that
reason fail to keep in stock precisely
the goods which the better class In the
community are Obliged to order from
the merchants in the larger cities.',
st. Cloud Journal-Press
There Is a mistaken notion on the
part of merchants generally that il
does not pay to advertise in dull times.
whereas dull-time advertising is really
the most valuable when properly con-
Quoted. When every body has an
abundance of money the merchant sees
the advantage accruing, by giving the
utmost publicity to his stock of goods.
In dull times, when money is scarce
and purchasers are trying to make
every dollar go as far as possible.
advertisements are closely scanned to
learn where the best bargains are
offered. Then is the time for WE'LL
advertised special saies-bargain sales
for clearing up stocks, or introduce
ing new lines.

New life in the Boer war has

New life in the Boer war has
developed IN the past. The British
have met with several severe defeats,
their losses in one engagement
amounting to about 600 officers and
men taken prisoners and many killed
and wounded. This is the more
humiliating to the English because it
was one of the crack regiments of
the empire that met disaster.
Considering the great disparity in
the contending forces in South Africa
it seems truly wonderful how the
Beers are able to make head against
their powerful and we'll equipped
enemy. There must be something in
the righteousness of their cause that
prolongs such an unequal contest.

President w. II. Bradley, Nice-Pres-

Oberbeck. The matter of selecting a
secretary was postponed until the
next meeting of the association. The
work accomplished in the past year
was reviewed showing that the eX-
penditure of something over $1,000
had brought to the valley very large
amount of valuable advertising and
that several thousand settlers had
been induced to locatein the valley as
we'll as number Of manufacturing
concerns at different points.
Favorable reports were received
from several counties on the PROPOSE
ton to appropriate money by the
county boards to help carry on the
work of the association. 1t was de-
cided to inaugurate a vigorous cam
paign for the purpose OF raising funds
sufficient to secure the services of an
experienced promoter to get into
practical operation the plans of the
association and there. is little doubt
that this will meet with success.
