For long time the banks of the
country did little advertising. The
Pittsburg banks led in the crusade
which has made advertising by banks
the regular thing and not a fad of
moment. The banks which have adj
vertised have increased their deposits
and their profits enormously as com
pared with the deposits and earnings
of banks which have lot been adver-
tis.ng. The form which their adver-
Using took was newspaper publicity.
The bank which uses the newspapers
can get more business and get it
quicker than in any other way. This
is not a theory but IA demonstrated
fact.
DR.. q. w. Slick, of GrantsvilIe,
aforetime veterinary surgeon OF Tho
burn Post, g. A. r., came down to
vote Tuesday, and returned Wednes-
day feeling that the country he had
fought so valiantly to save was again
lost. He was cheerful enough to
state, however, that though he did
not know whether the bond proposal
in his county to raise money to build
a new courthouse and jail had won
or lost. He believed, however, that
the majority were against it, He
went so far as to say there is an ex-
tensive sentiment in the northern
part of the county, latent but strong,
in favor of new county, including
territory from both Garrett and AL
legany, and Frostburg as the coatnty-
seat Then, with an electric road
from Grantsville to Frostburg hun
dreds of peoples could come down to
testify before the grand jury where
only few can afford to travel ITO
miles to Oakland and back. and be
away from home but 3 days for that
purpose 1t was one of the strongest
presentations of a real, big, meritori-
GUS enterprise the Journal has heard
since 1876.-Frostburg Journal.
