Qecention Pcactlced

Those who would not be defrauded
by sharpers who use the advertising
columns Of the city papers would dc
well in carefully considering each
proposition which attracts their atten.
tion. Remember that those who ad.
vertise are not philanthropists. They
are out after the dollars, and have
nothing to give away, unless it is In
exchange for money. The concern
that offers an exceptional bargain
needs to be studied we'll before In
vestment be made. Everything has
legitimate value, and is worth so
much in the markets OF the world.
When it Is offered at less than its
apparent real value. look out for fraud
and deception. Generally every good
town affords the buyer chance to
obtain whatever he requires, and a.,
price consistent with quality.
Those who patronize home stores are
less likely to be deceived

TRADES GREAT MAGNET.
How Some Mammoth Fortunes Have
Been Built Up.

Many Of the great fortunes in Amer.
lea have been gained by the judicious
use Of printers ink. The wealthiest
merchants attribute their success to
advertising. Millions and millions OF
dollars worth Of manufactured prod
ucts are annually sold to the people
Of the United States through the ad.

come known without their merits
were exploited before the people
through the newspapers Great exclu-
sive mail-order houses. institutions
that have come into existence during
the past 20 years, have been built up
entirely through judicious advertis.
ing.
AS to the mail order houses, there
is a loud clamor against their en-.
croachments throughout the country.
There is every cause for alarm that
they will eventually grow into such
mammoth institutions as will monop-
olize the business that Is now the
backbone and spine Of the country
towns. There is one way that the
merchants can lessen the evil. 1t is
by persistent use Of the public press.
Use advertising space. meet the com.
petition rightly and squarely and let
the people know about it.
Hundreds OF would be business ven.
lures have failed just because there
was no proper advertising. Hundreds
and thousands Of small merchants fail
for the same cause. The paper In a
small town is of greater force than
the average merchant thinks. II the
storekeeper desires to test his home
paper as an advertising medium. let
him insert an advertisement OF some
article and put the price lower than
1t is generally sold at Then await
results. He will find that the people
will learn Of 1t, and call to see about
1t.
Dollars to the editor for advertis.
ing space are never lost II the adver.
using Is of the proper kind. The in.
vestment will bring greater returns to
the merchant than money invested in
any other way. One trouble is that
the average merchant knows little
about proper methods of advertising.
A simple card John Jones. Grocer,
sells groceries" is Of but little use.
Make advertising attractive. Tell
about goods, about prices, and every.
thing that prospective purchaser
may want to know. Keep persistently
at 1t. Change advertisements week
after week. The people look for it.,

HELPING THE TRUSTS,
Systems That Are Opposed to tn.
Welfare Of the Masses.

Nearly u century ago, Disraeli, the
elder, in his essay on gaming and
gambling, wrote: THE savage and the
civilized. the illiterate and the learn.
ed, are alike captivated by the hope
of accumulating wealth without the
labors of industry" In this saying the
great statesman and writer sounded
the keynote of much OF the woes met
with in life. 1t is the desire to secure
wealth without labor, to gain some.
thing for nothing, that causes many to
go to their graves "unwept, unhonored
and unsung."
The man who gleefully sings Make
few dollars earn you living" will
be sure to find many people ready to
believe him. They will take a
chance" anyway. and the gullible are
so numerous that the promoter really
succeeds in accommodating wealth
without the labors of industry" but
the others-his victims-generally
fail.
During the past few years one large
concern that has for long been drain.
ing the rural districts of surplus
wealth, has built city Of its own,
and has erected buildings for the &C.
commodation of 1000 people. This
concern does not draw a cent of trade
from the people Of the city wherein it
is located All its wealth and the
means by which 1t built up its "own
city has been contributed by people
scattered throughout the country.
How few there are who think that
when they send money to this great
concern for supplies that might as
we'll be bought In their home town,
that they are helping to deal a death
blow to the place they call home? Yet
such Is the fact Every dollar sent
to the large city, assists in the build.
ing up OF greater trusts. and great.
er combinations, that seek to control
the manufacturing, the mercantile
business. and as well the prices OF
