ADVERTISING TALKS
q WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM G.. FREEMAN.

Somebody said, once upon
a time
at is EASY FOR A MAN
TO RESIST TEMPTATION
WHO HAS NEVER EN-
COUNTERED IT."
Applied to advertising this
means that we must not be too
critical of the merchants who
have yielded TO the tempta-
ton of EXAGGERATION in
their printed announcements.
They fell into the habit be-
cause everybody around them
seemed to practice it, so they
were tempted to try to get
business in this manner and
they yielded.
One of the hardest things in
the world to do is to- break
away from habit, particularly
if that habit is not regarded as
harmful.
That is why it is going to he
hard to persuade many mer-
chants to change their habit of
conducting SPECIAL sales,
mentioning unusual values,
an ddoing other things in their
advertising announcements
that custom has tolerated for
so long.
Ask any merchant who
makes a practice of advertiS-
ing comparative prices and
reduction sales, and % times
out of 100 he will answer
"The people EXPECT this
sort of thing-they do not re-
spond to advertising unless it
offers UNUSUAL INDUCE
ASK him again why he per-
siStS in doing this kind of adj
vertiSing when enlightened
public opinion is against it
and then he will answer:
81 cannot afford to confine
my advertising to a MERE
STATEMENT OF FACT
The people expect bargains.
whether they get them or not"
One by one, however.
merchants are changing their
advertising methods, and the
wisdom of avoiding the temp
tation of CUSTlM is impress
ing itself on their minds. he
cause they find they get bet
ter returns from PLAIN.
HOMELY, MATTER OF
FACT ADVERTISING.
They find also that this kind
of advertising builds 4
GREATER CONFIDENCE in
their store and in their mer-
chandiSe.
The new advertiSer-the he
glnner-findS it easy to resist
temptation in this matter. he
cause he has never encoun-
tered it-SO he STARTS
RIGHT AND REACHES
SUCCESS BY THE QUICK
ER ROUTE. He sees before

OF EXAGGERATION and

Flagstaff, Arizona. Editor Sun;
 Not being familiar with the history of the Cowan bill, to which reference is frequently made in the newspapers in the south, would like to know some thing of its history.
 SUBSCRIBER.
 Subscriber asks a very perti- nent question. The Cowan bill was the famous bill that took tie proceeds, something between S3o,- 900 and S4o,oo year away rom the overworked secretary e state and turned the said proceeds in to the territorial treasury. The bill was passed du1ing the twenty second legislative, at which time Coconino couCty was represented by Henry F. Ashurst. MT. Ash urst at that time voted against the Cowan bill, actuated by the highest motives, for there is no question but he felt that the sec retary should be fully reimbursed for his arduous labors. The fact that he was afterwards shot at in Flagstaff and the detectives story suppressed by the democratic cen- tral committee is evidence that the Cowan bill was wrong.

Hon. George.U. Young, secre- tary of the territory, has announced his candidacy for governor on the republican ticket, and advises voters in this issue of The Sun as to his position on matters politi' cal. Young at one time was edi- tor of the Williams News; later he moved to Yavapai county where he went to mining ore as we'll as digging for the republican party politically. He is candi- date from Yavapai county and if nominated promises to make the democratic candidate sit up and take notice.

The new primary law is pug zling politicians these days. If you sign a petition for one man for one office, you have declared yourself and can not sign for another for the same office. If you are republican, you go into a republican booth and vote for republicans only; if a democrat, you get a democratic ticket only. You vote for the nominatain of two United States senators and then vote again for two senators at the state election.

Col. Tom Weedin, editor of the Florence Tribune, is now up through the north insisting that he be given the democratic nomina- ton for governor. Of all the un- mitigated ego, it's a measly edi- tor asking tor political recogni- ton. It's all right for them to boost other people, work for the party and take it out in re newed expressions of our esteem and friendship" but to seek po- litical preierment is atrocious. Colonel Weedin is not bad man as democrats go, but, lord, ask Hunt what Kibbey would do to him.

Political Notes

Nomination papers must be filed by October oth. Don't forget the date. Blanks may be secured of the clerk of the board of super visors.
 Judge Kent is being strongly urged for the supreme bench. He is an able lawyer and will poll a big vote if elected.
 Judge Kibbey, Ed Wells, Geo. U. Young and number of other prominent men are suggested for governor.
 T. E. Pollock has absolutely denied that he wants to be gov ernor and says that it is big NO.
The Coconino sun., 1911-09-29

Ex-Governor Joseph H. Kibbey is being importuned to make the race on the republican ticket for governor. Kibbey is 'sot" in his ways, but has a mighty good head to regulate his sotting," which is something exceedingly lacking in the present so-called executive. At least it would take more than just one corporation to gobble him up.
The Coconino sun., 1911-09-29

SACRIFICED HIS LIFE
TRYING TO SAVE CHILD

A very sad story comes from
Sacramento relative to j.
Brubecker, formerly we'll known
in Fallon. Brubecker was living
at Cleo, Cal and his child aged
four and a half years is suffering
from All impoverishing condition.
The parents took it to Sacramento.
1t was advised that the only hope
was to diffuse fresh blood into the
child and the father insisted that
blood be drawn from his veins.
The doctor complied with the
request, but the father died almost
as soon as the operation was per-
Toned and the child also passed
away Immediately.
The deceased was engaged in
the barber bushes in Fallon a few
years also and married Jessie
Vaughn girl well known here. -
