The Towns Best Advertisement.

The best advertising medium Of .
town is its home paper, provided the
paper be properly sustained, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. A good
home paper, well edited, we'll printed,
we'll filled, with local advertisements,
having the smile Of prosperity on its
countenance, and well circulated, is
in itself an index to the thrift and en-
terprise Of the community it repre-
sents and an expression of the enter
prising spirit Of the people. 1t. has
now become an axiom Of trade that
every community is judged by its
newspaper. If the newspaper is dull
and poverty-stricken, the outsider
who sees it will conclude that it rep
resents a dull and thriftless commu-
nifty. If, on the other hand, it is live
in all its departments, and shows that
it is we'll sustained, the outsider will
judge its constituency accordinly.
And u:.,elly :: is a fair basis Of esti-
mate. Nine time out Of ten the local
newspaper is a correct photograph of
the town in which it is published and
from which it derives its support.
This is a matter which the people
Of every town should seriously N
slider. They should bear in mind that
every copy Of the home paper goes
out as a courier, with a message to
the outside world. It is for the peo-
pie to say what sort Of a courier it
| shall be, and what sort of message to
the outside world. It is for the peo-
pie to say what sort Of a courier it
shall be, and what sort Of message
it shall carry. If the people proclaim
to the world that they will not sustain
4 home paper, how car they expect
the world to believe that they will
sastain any other home enterprise
that might move int
The money spent on the home pa
per should be expended in subscrip.
lions and individual advertisements,
for, as we have said, the paper should
be an advertisement in itself of the
community. But the local paper is
necessarily limited in its reach, and
in addition to local support the town
should appropriate a liberal fund for
general advertising in mediums
which have a wider circulation. No
town IS too large to advertise abroad.
The largest cities in the United States
are the largest advertisers, and if the
cities find it necessary to, advertise,
how much more necessary is it for the
towns, which are not so we'll known
to do 50!
