ADVERTISING CHAT

Don't expect to much from your
advertising. If it brings people to
your store you should be satisfied. 1t
is up to you to do the rest. II you
fail to sell when you have possible
buyers within your reach, tits not the
fault of the advertisement unless you
have made it misleading. Even then.
the fault is your own. II people visit
store in response to an advertise
ment, it is a fair assumption that they
will buy if the conditions are right.
If they fail TO buy il is because
something is wrong, and the blame
should be placed where it rightfully
| belongs.
your advertising fails to bring
satisfactory returns you may be as
Sured that sonnet hing is wrong. The
| fault may be in your advertisements.
in the medium you use, in the quail.
ty of your goods, or in your way OF
doing business. 1t will pay you t.
| find the error, wherever it may be-
and have it corrected.
Good advertising and successful
merchandising go hand in hand. The
one depends upon the other.

THE DAILY REPORTER
OF LEGAL AGE

The WooD COUNTY REPORTER was
the first weekly newspaper published
in Wood County and Central WiScon-
sin, the first copy Of which appeared
on Thursday November 2Sth, 1857,
tifty-one years ago. 1t has weathered
the storms of newspaper life and has
done its share in chronicling the
events during this period which go a
long way toward making the history
of Wood County. The present pub
Usher and management also enjoys
the distinguished pleasure of launch
ing the first DAILY newspaper pub
lished in said county, the first issue of
which appeared on the first day Of
October 1906. and therefore will be of
legal newspaper age on the first day
of October 1908.
The starting of daily newspaper
in city of this size and population, is
much more serious and difficult
proposition than the starting of a
weekly newspaper. While its publi-
cation during the first two years Of its
existance has been attended with
many difficult propositions, we are
pleased to announce to our readers
that it has come to stay and will be-
come permanent fixture in our
midst. We sincerely hope that we
are in part filling the requirements Of
the community in presenting a credit
able local, daily ne wspaper. 1t is our
intention, and will be our constant
aim to improve upon it's news features
as rapidly as we can afford to pay for
them. AS daily means OF rejecting
the business, and metropolitan ap-
pearance Of our little city, and hope
that our readers and citizens generally
will lend their favorable auspices and
patronage to this end. We want the
news every day, from every source, and
will appreciate the favor Of any local
items that are contributed or sent in
to the editors office, as the DAILY
REPORTER has come to stay.
We are contemplating the install
lation of some type-Setting machine,
by which we can set more type in a
shorter space of time. This and other
improvements we hope soon to be
able to accomplish.

WASHBURN=CROSBY
INCREASE
New Mill to be Built, Adding to
the Enormous OUTPUT,

The Washburn-Crosby Company
viii build new flour mill of 5000 bar
rels daily capacity, at cost of $780,
600, at Buffalo, N. Y. Work will be-
gin Immediately. w. II. Bovey. of
Minneapolis, will have charge of con-
struction, and the MILL which should
be ready to operate by next July, will
be managed by f F. Henry. The
Washburn Crosby Company, with It's
present mills, will then have $4,000
barrels capacity at Buffalo. The COM
pany only recently completed a new
mill for Gold Medal Flour in Minnea-
polls, and fireproof grain elevator of
100000 capacity. With it's large
Minneapolis output, the Buffalo en-
largement, and its mills at Louisville.
KY, and Greao Falls and KaliSpen,
Mont, the company's daily capacity
will exceed 10000 barrels, far the
greatest in the world.
Decision to build the new plant was
reached at tie annual meeting today.
The old officers were reelected.
James, S. Bell, president, William a.
Dunwoody and John Washburn, vice
presidents; c. J. Martin, secretary
and treasurer.
John Washburn said after the meet
ing: "The flour business is good. We
find increasing demand for our product
and need the larger capacity to meet
it. Only recently we increased our
Minneapolis capacity and added
greatly to our grain storage facilities
her. Demand keeps on catching up
to US. The business is profitable and
we find it necessary to keep adding to
our plants from time to time. T.

MORE CARRIERS
ARE NEEDED
More Carriers can be Secured
With the Riqht Effort.

While we were Postmaster during
the close of 1907, or the early part of
1908, a petition headed by James
Withers and signed by about fifty
resident free holders residing in the
Fifth ward asking for free mail ser
vice was filed with us, and we sent it
into the Department at Wash. ton,
D. c., with our endorsement and with
a request that the demand be granted
and that one more carrier be provided
US for that purpose. The Department
officials in reply asked US il this part
of the city was supplied with side
walks. houses numbered, etc., and we
replied that these provisions had not
been wholly complied with, but they
would be if the Department would in
dicate that they would grant the
prayer of the petitioners. They came
back at US with the information that
they would do nothing until these
provisions of the law were complied
with. This correspondence is on file
in the postoffice records. The Post
master alone cannot accomplish these
changes or improvements unless he is
backed up by the people with strong
backing, showing the necessity for
the added carriers. We urge again
the necessity of all the people who are
not now receiving the free delivery of
their mail, to petition the local Post
master for it, and back it up with
facts and reasons that he can use
with the Department in defending his
demands for more carriers. We
should have two more carriers and
when it is shown the distance the
present carriers have to travel and
the amount of mail they have to
carry at each of three deliveries, any
inspector sent here for the purpose of
investigating the matter can be con-
vinced of the necessity for more
carriers. If you are dissatisfied with
the present delivery of your mail, or
that you feel that you are entitled to
have your mail delivered. make that
fact known and insist that you have
the same rights and privileges that
others enjoy. Be prepared to meet
Uncle Sam half way in complying with
! his demands.

MISCHIEVOUS BOYS,
ATTENTION

Several complaints have reached
this Office from several ladies living in
the First and Second wards, who have
been badly frightened by mischievous
boys suddenly dropping skeletons and
''gEosts" from trees Immediately in
front of passers-by, and drawing
snakes fastened to rope across side
walks, and doing all manner of disa-
greeable tricks under cover of dark
ness, purposely to frighten them.
They have also been doing careless
shooting in the old cemetery near the
Wood home and nelghbors who reside
in The immediate vicinity are con-
stantly in fear of being shot by stray
bullets. Unless these depredations are
stopped, the boys who are guilty of
these acts, will be arrested and pun
iShed therefor,
