CIVILIZED Man. as represented in the
fegion once supplied with news by four
great Montana newspapers, has learned
Something since Feb. 13, 1907. Never
again must the newspapers of this field
lsbor with Civilized Man TO convince
him that he should have the paper left
At his front door every morning and
nroclaim his merchandise through the
naper's advertising columns. Civilized
Mans books show that the newspaper
usges are worth more 10 his store than
an the windows he can decorate beau
tifi,llv. all the front yards he can litter
with handbills. all the billboards he
can plaster with posters. all the streets
he can illuminate with banners, all the
sandwich men he can equip, all the
srotesque forms of advertising he can
device and ne has devised many. He
has learned that the women, who do
the bulk Of the buying, have a habit of
planning the shopping campaign large
ly along lines suggested by the news
paper advertisement and that habit is
hard to break.

he is not satisfied with the results. be-
