J. Rufus Wa||ingtold Outdone

One Of the best get.rich-quick
schemes we ever saw was pulled
off in Beach last week by two
strangers. assisted by the use Of
the columns of the Beach Ad-
vance. Arriving in town the
fore part of the week they con-
tracted with the paper for the use
Of three pages Of space, to be
used in making write-ups for the
business firms Of the town. The
price paid for this space is gen.
orally. and was in this instance,
secured at a very low figure,
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per
column. or from $35 to $50 for
the entire space used. They then
canvassed the business men for
write-ups at $40 a throw and
Beach proved to be a very green
field for them. as they secured
about 50 contracts from that
many business firms. or $3.50 in
money. Of course, in soliciting
business they were working for
the local paper'?) and business
men. believing such to be the
case. donated freely for space at
about 25c per line, when they
could have bought it for less
than half the money direct from
the publisher. The gentlemen left
town the latter part Of the same
week with about $500 of Beach
money, while the local sheet got
about $50. Pretty good for a
weeks work'?l in a strange
town with nothing iEvestead and
giving nothing in return No
wonder some publishers fail to
make money out Of the newspaper
business. We are not trying to
belittle the last week S issue Of
the Advance. 1t was a creditable
issue and represented lot of
work, but the issue could just as
well have been gotten out with
out the assistance Of these get
rich.quick men.
We do not grieve over the
small! amount of money the Ad-
vance publisher received for his
end Of it, but we do grieve over
the $500 which was taken out of
the town aud which should have
remained here and been spent
for legitimate advertising at legit'
innate rates. When the Chronicle
gets into its new home it will is.
