seen In old established piAnts some-
where else. Following this idea they
arc too apt to condemn the thing
that needs and deserves the utmost
patience and loyalty to enable 1t to
survive crisis that is pretty sure to
come when everything is new and un-
tried, the help is inexperienced and
has to be broke In" and the man
agement has to face the long hard
pull that stands between the start
and success.
For the information Of those who
lose articles in the wash, we advise
that this is more likely to happen
with persons who do not make list
OF what they put in the laundry
package. II a bundle reaches the Of
flee with list in, the marking clerk
checks against that and will telephone
a local customer If there is something
lacking or anything over what the list
calls for. Ask them for laundry slips
to keep at home SO you can make
them out in duplicate, and see II
your trouble does not end as soon as
you get SO you can check your own
bundle correctly.
The Blackfoot laundry advertises
in this paper, but it is not to get your
business, nor to hold it.; YOU owe
your home laundry your business
anyhow If you are going to hire It
done. They advertise to let the new
Corners know we have laundry, and
to give notice to people outside Of
this locality that Blackfoot has q
modern laundry. There are thous-
ands Of copies Of the paper that are
remailed to people in other states
who may become residents here, and
it is through the advertising columns
Of the paper that they receive their
impressions of what the town Is and
Of what modern things it affords. II
the local paper, the exponent of the
condition Of the community, contains
nothing to show that 1t has water
works, nothing to show that 1t has
electric lights or electric power, moth
ing to show that it has mills, fac
tories, modern laundry, a modern
business in any other line. it is as
sumed that they have not these
things. So when you see the adver-
tisement of the Blackfoot Steam
Laundry in this paper, remember
they are doing their share in adver-
Using the good things your town at
fords, as we'll as making struggle
for business. When you see the ad-
yertisement of F. G. Christ, the
jeweler, you know that he is doing his
share of this duty by never letting his
advertisement be out. The same
may be said of F. e. DeKay, the gro
Ger, Scott the Druggist, the Bridge
Street Pharmacy, the Isis theater,
the Red Barn and the City Livery,
| the Grove City Meat Market, the
Skating Rink, Bond Bros feed mill,
the Blackfoot Harness shop. the
Blackfoot State Bank, Simmons &
Allen, draymen; Jackman's, ladies'
furnishers, Eilers Piano House, the
Armory, Frenchy's Restaurant, Jones
for Fine Stationery, the Hide and
Junk House, the Fish and Produce
Company, the Real Estate and Pro-
lfessional men-all of them who are
isteady advertisers are doing their
part in announcing to the country at
large what your town contains, and
because they shoulder these burdens
they are entitled to consideration In
the placing Of your business. A news.
paper cannot do it all; the business
men cannot do it all, but where the
public appreciates the efforts Of
steady advertisers, they respond witt
their patronage on broad principles O.
mutual benefits and mutual duties.
