How They Advertise.


1t is interesting to note the differenc,
between cities which have boards o
trade and advertising boosters and thos,
who do not.
Secretary ]. F. Carter, Jr. Of tn,
Mobile (Ala) Progressive Association
has complied very carefully some inter
esting data on the subject. Writing
in The Tradesman under the caption,
What Some Cities Are Doing in Adyer-
Using, he says Of his own city:
Speaking for Mobile, this city never
had done any advertising through news
papers or magazines until the past year,
when publicity was given through this
body's work. Heretofore few book
lets had been published, the money
being raised by charging for advertise
ments OF merchants which appeared in
the booklets. During the past year we
published three booklets, one on the
city as a place of residence, one con-
corning the farm lands about the city,
and one which dealt with nothing else
but the manufacturing situation. There
were no advertisements in the booklets.
They we're paid for out of the general
fund, as was also the display advertis-
ing. Another form OF advertising which
we carried on was that OF display at
the United States Land and Irrigation
Exposition at Chicago last year, aud
our preparations are now being made for
another exhibit this year. This money
was taken from the general fund.
We are glad to know that Jackson
has as live Merchants Association as
any city its size in the country and that
an opportunity to boost Jackson and
Madison County is never lost
1t will be of interest to know what
three other Tennessee cities are doing
to advertise themselves and their adj
vantages. Here is the exact status in
Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga:

The Commercial about the first OF th,
year made slight change in its adver
Using rates, affecting only that part o.
the advertising aggregating in measure
thirty inches and over. In other words,
it effects only the large display adver-
Using. There is some difference, it is
true, but the increase is very light. But
when the advertiser takes into considera-
ton the fact that The Commercial ten
years ago with only 1000 subscribers
charged the same rate it now charges for
the bulk of its advertising with $500
subscribers, the fact is that he is getting
the same amount of work done for half
the price, or reaching twice the number
OF subscribers at practically the same
cost The Commercial Is rates are made
alone in its own office. There is no
combination OF prices with anybody. 1t
reserves the right to govern its own rates,
but does not feel warranted in doing
work for less money than it does at
present The rates are the lowest prob
ably done by any of the newspapers
with the same number of subscribers in
the State, and as low as numbers of
papers with one-half or one-thlrd the
number Of subscribers. We know this
to be fact because we have had cause
to use advertising in number Of papers
in West Tennessee. Then there is
another matter in which the public is
not much interested, of course. but the
cost OF composition is very much greater
than it was ten years ago, blank paper
and other materials are higher in price,
and the cost of publication is very much |
higher. The merchants OF Union City |
are very liberal advertisers, extremely |
liberal, and that is one reason of the |
fact that our rates have not been in-
,reased to larger figure. While this
s so the merchants Of Union City can
est assured that they are getting as good
service as can be obtained in
he State for the same money and better
han a majority OF places.

table primarily to whisky, but this evil
has grown to ipmeasurable proportions
through the abuse Of its manufacture.
Twenty years or more ago a travelling
salesman, representing a wholesale
whisky house, told US that more than
nine-tenths Of the whisky was COM
pounded in the rear of the saloon, that it
was not made in distilIery. The drug
ged article, which DR.. Wiley has been
trying to separate from the pure, has be-
come so common that DIR. Wiley's work
has encountered the hostility of the
whisky interests. The chain of circum-
stances therefore leading to the disrepute
Of the whisky traffic has been brought
about through the fundamentally Of the
whisky interests as much or more per-
haps than through the teachings Of Pro-
hlbitionists. The whisky people have
by their own indiscretions and dis
reputable practices invited censure and
condemnation and turned sentiment
against them. They have done this
through the use OF unwholesome and
poisonous drugs in the adulteration OF
whisky; they have also openly and will
fully defied and disobeyed the Sunday
laws and other regulations OF the traffic.
This has created the sentiment against
the traffic, we say, as much so as the
advocacy of Prohibition.
Alcohol is an enemy to the human
race, but the things we have enumerated
in connection with the sale Of intoxicants
has made it a criminal practice, there
fore the Democracy OF the man who
favors absolute Prohibition is not inn
paired, neither is it the legitimate or
proper subject OF criticism.
The whisky advocates, having either
been driven or frightened from their
former positions, are offering the argu-
ment that il whisky is not publicly sold
the use of drugs will increase, and have
increased through the operation of Pro-
hibition. A more unreasonable ground |
than this could not be advanced. |
Whistles and wines have already been
drugged to an alarming extent; perhaps
beer has not But if this were not true,
everybody who knows the history of the
drug habit understands that its begin
ming was with the opium smokers in the
Chinese quarters Of the cities and that
the habit was more prevalent in the
large cities where whisky was freely sold.
Statistics will show that this is true-that
the larger number Of people addicted to
the drug habit are residents of localities
where Prohibition legislation has never
