WHERE YOU SHOULD
SPEND YOUR MONEY
Every Dollar You Spend With These Mer-
chants Boosts This Paper.


through the news columns of paper,
but necessity and ethics do not always
travel we'll together. This is addressed
to YOU. Mr. union man. We are going
to ask several favor~ of you and the
first one is that you read every word of
this article. When you have finished,
we think you will agree that we are
Justified in making this direct appeal
to you. We are firm believers that the
best way to obtain support from the
people on any proposition is to tell
them in plain words what you want.
and why YOU want it.
We are going to ask you to patronizc
as much as you can, the advertisers who
are going to give you few reasons why
it is to your interest to do so.
You demonstrated by the magnificent
response to our appeal for subscriptions
you gave when we took the management
of the journal, that YOU wanted a labor
paper to remain in the field. We are
trying to show our appreciation of that
support in the quality of the reading
matter we give you.
No paper can exist alone on subscrip
tion. 1t must have live advertising. You
have made it possible for us to prove to
our advertisers that the Journal is
good advertising medium, because it
reaches the working people of the city.
We want to hold these advertisers and
this can be done if they begin to see
tangible results from their investment
in thu shape of increased patronage. Do
you begin to see the point? The bus
mess man likes to know where his
money does him the most good and if he
knows that you patronize him because he
advertises in this paper he is going to
consider it a good investment.
Another thing; No unfair firm will
be allowed to advertise in this paper.
Many of our advertisers make a spe-
cialty of union made goods and take
pains to attract your attention to them.
You may say it is strictly matter of
business with them. Probably it is to
certain extent. Dollars and cents is
the stimulating factor in nearly every
thing. You organize to maintain and
increase if possible, your daily wages.
But the very fact that they are fair to
organized labor and talk the merit of
their goods to you through the medium
of your publication, entities them to your
consideration. It doesn't cost much to
mention the Journal to your merchant
and to mention our advertisers to your
friends
We publish below list of the persons
and firms who advertise in the Journal.
1t will pay you to look this list over.
1t will help the merchants and help us
to keep the Journal on the firing line.
And we'l all be happy,
No spirit of criticism actuates us in
pennng thqse lines Just a desire to
show you in concrete form how you can
aid your paper The union people are
not really indifferent to any phase of
the union movement. But in the worry
and work incident to the grinding out of
living, they don't study these things
out. And that is why we have seen
fit to depart from the usual order of
things in the news columns of this pa
prr; to bring the matter of boosting
and supporting the publication that
stands for your welfare to your at
tention in a few plain words.

ness people that want your trade.
