REFERRING to the results following
local newspaper advertising an ex-
change covers the point clearly as
follows; A newspaper has 5000 reader
for each 1000 subscribers. A merchant
who puts out 1000 hand bills gets 500
or 400 more people to read them, If the
boy who is trusted to distribute them
does not chuck them under the side
walk. The hand bill costs as much
as half column advertisement in the
home paper, fAll the women and grill
and half the the men and boys reat
the advertisement Result--the mer
chant who use the newspaper haI
| 1000 more readers TO each 1000 Of the
papers. There is no estimating the
amount Of business that advertising
does not bring to merchant, but
each dollar invested In advertising
brings to the investor somewhere from
s20 to sl00 worth OF business.

contractor Wolf, and r. NJ. White are
home from St. Louis, where they con-
ferred with capitalists with reference
TO issuing bonds TO complete the Mex.
leo, Santa lie s. Perry electric road.
These gentlemen report that money
at this time is rather hard to secure,
and that inanciers are loath to take
bold of any new propositions until
after the election. The company has
been invited to submit scientific re.
ports OF the condition OF the road,
showing the amount OF grading done,
ETC., etc. It's hoped that sometime
this fall capitalists may be interested
so that the road can be completed. In
the meantime the officers OF the com-
pany will prepare and submit state
ments showing the assets OF the COM
pany Those who are best acquainted
with the affairs Of this enterprise feel
sure that bond issue sufficient to
complete the road should be an at
traotive proposition to financiers, who
want good conservative investment.
