just simply exist. while other
cities grow. There is no disput-
ing the statement that business
organization is vitality important
to city's welfare and growth.
Building a city is like building
up business. Talking helps
and so does descriptive literature
but advertising1Sf any descrip-
ton pays. solongas it is judicious.
Successful businskS men tell you
so; in fact theyJ e-ery emphatic
about it. PrA,t1dve cities tell
you SO. The more iudicious ad-
vertising the greater tie returns
provided the city has "tha goods"
and the same rule holds good
with cities as holds good with
private business.
Something more than judiclous
advertising and the goods" is
necessary. however if a city is to
grow. Business men follow up
their advertising with live. huSt-
ling statesmen. Here is a tip
which will help greatly. Every
man who travels should be dis
seminator of information regard
ing the advantages of Canyon
City. Stock them up with facts
regarding. conditions as to labor,

ness Of the soil. what it will pro

climate. the hospitable spirit, the
moral and of all the educational
ideas of the people and like topic

IT PAYS.

One of the greatest advertlS-
ing experts in this country
man who conducts the adyertis-
ing campaigne for agreat depart
ment store-recently made the
following statement. in comment
ing on phenomenal success of
his establishment:
1t does mt pay to deceive the
public. What does pay is to lead
them to buy a thing that they re
going to like after they get it,
That's the secret Of the success
of big enterprises-in fact there
is no secret to it. There is a
wide spread knowledge of the
fact. There is no success no
lasting success outside the linn
it of honest Advertising. Mer-
chants recognise that fact; and
while comparatively few of them
would be dishonest if they dared
to be. for they know that it pays
to be especially careful in their
advertising.
Occasionally some concern
tries dishonest advertising and
while it may reap a temporary
reward. it soon loses far more
than it has gained and the end is
ignominious failure.
Lead the people to buy thing
that they are going to like after
they get it and the people will
have confidence in you, They'll
buy of you again. Lead the PEG
pie to buy a thing that they don't
like after they get it and they are
dissatisfied. a dissatisfied Gus
toner is not a good booster for
any store that wants to succeed.
1t doesn t pay to deceive the buy
ing public

ceiying the public not if he knows

IT IS A FACT.

A city is big business insti
tuition. If it i well managed,
it is conducted by business men
in business way. A city is a
business that is managed from
two points one by a body OF
elective men and another by a
solid front of business men work
ing through some organization
such as a commercial club. An
organization of business men is
just as essential for a city az
political organization is for Y
management of the city's tisesri-
ces, its municipal Improvements,
etc. A city might rua alone
without much of a government,
but the better the government
the better the city and its indi-
yidual tax payers are off.
Commercial organization is es-
sential for the commercial 6eyel-
opment. A city may get along

and industrial effort, b| ~ vi
