LET'S GET TOGETHER.

For the purpose of promoting good
feeling and assisting generally in the
work of the organization, The OBJ
server would suggest a series of
monthly dinners by the Commercial
club, in much the same manner fol-
lowed in other cities where the plan
has been found to work successfully
and where much good has resulted.
The plan is for the members of the
club to assemble on a given day,
once each month"; at a hotel or cafe,
and pass the time in eating follow
ed by sociable smoke" Matters
pertaining to the welfare of the city
could be discussed at such gather
ings and it would tend to make the
club more popular and cement its
organization. Nothing is better to
promote good fellowship and more
liberal feeling among men than
wholesome dinner and these could be
arranged so that they would not
prove expensive. What this city
needs, in fact what any live and
progressive community needs, is the
promotion of good fellowship among
the business men generally, and these
series of monthly dinners would go
a long way toward this end.
The writer has had considerable
experience in commercial bodies
where this plan has been adopted and
be knows that in every instance they
have been the means of augmenting,
% a great extent, the work and good
Influences of the commercial bodies.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

The primary motive of advertising
is to boost business. Nobody will
deny this. Neither will anyone, with
business sense declare that advertis.
ing doesn't pay. In this modern age
every man in business, be his occu-
patton whatever it may. recognizes
the value of advertising of some
sort. He may not call it by that
name but il is advertising, neverthe-
less. Every article he places in his
display window is advertising, every
package he wraps up with his name
printed on the wrapping paper, each
label on his shelves and every deco
ration in his store is an advertise
ment and placed there to draw Gus
toners and to boost trade.
Men have different ideas about adj
vertising, but the successful mer-
chant, the one who steadily advances
in the face Of competition, recog-
nizeS that there is no medium equal
TO the legitimate newspaper in reach
ing the people, no other means at
even twice the cost, which offers the
opportunity to better trade eondi-
tions This is self-evident For in
stance, would the Washburn-C Crosby
company spend upwards of 100000
per year in buying newspaper and
magazine space if il didn't secure
retumsf The argument that "peo-
Pile do not read advertisements in
the newspapers is foolish and
clearly shows Just how much the 1
merchant who makes it lacks Of being
m the modern business class. He I
may plod along and make a living
beeause his competition is likewise
old-fogyish but, some day. live man
Will drop into the community and
make him hard to End.
The man who says that "newspa-
per advertising doesn't pay" is the
ore who places a display Of goods
IN has window and then attaches A
plaeand proclaiming the virtue of the
goods and the inducements to pur-
chase. SO far as IL goes such adver-
lising serves a purpose but. where
ane person out Of 100 win stop and
nead the placard. hundreds would ,
read It If the same announcement
vas printed in a newspaper. Where
.he articles shown are Of such a na-
.ure that they do not appeal to the
general puble bat 70 individuals
My. 4 is possible that not one inter
'sted person may view the display.

Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-01-12

1t costs more to buy newspaper
space but, like everything else in the
world, you cannot secure something
| for nothing and that which costs
more is usually worth more.
Here is an instance in support Of
the value of newspaper advertising
A man whom we will call Clones"
had a wagon for sale. He inserted
small ad which cost him rs cents
in a weekly newspaper, but he sold
the wagon and received dozen
answers besides. Another man,
whom we will designate as Smith"
also had a wagon for sale. He wrote
all about it with his typewriter on
small piece Of paper and tackled
the notice up on his building. That
was six months ago and he still has
the wagon, but his typewriter no
tice has been renewed many times.
Of course if anybody who wanted
a wagon had happened around that
way and read that little inconspicu-
GUS sign, the wagon might have been
disposed of.
"This place for Sale signs have
been nailed upon country roads for
so long that they have become
weather beaten and dilapidated. To
be sure they don't represent the ex-
penditure of much money but, if the
owners of the farms really want to
dispose of them, they are certainly |
growing old waiting.
The whole proposition resolves
itself to this: Successful advertis-
ing is that which produces results,
which brings the customer for the
articles you have to sell. In order
to secure these customers you must
talk to large number Of people.
An advertisement in the columns
If The Observer will reach the eyes
If approximately 5000 readers every
ssue. If you. say something in
generous space in the paper, you are {
certain to secure results. The pla-
rd in the window, the sign on the
ence and the poster on the bridge
re all right, as far as they go, but I
hey should be supplemented with Z
he liberal use of newspaper space. 5
The man who pleads that he "can-
ot afford to advertise is going at q
he question the wrong way. SO e
ong as he is in business and ex- n
ects to make success of it, he can
OF afford not to advertise. e

Another murderer has confessed
his guilt. Rev. C. T. V. Richeson
the pastor of a fashionable church
in a Boston suburb has admitted
that he murdered the girl he wrong
ed and for whose murder he stood
charged i'll court. Under the laws
of Massachusetts Richeson has been
condemned to die in the electric
chair during the week beginning
May 10, next, but he hopes for a
communication of the sentence to life
Imprisonment by the governor. When
he came into court to receive his
sentence the news dispatches relate
that he had so changed in appear
ance that evens his most intimate
friends scarcely recognized him, and
that the fearful strain under which
he has labored during the lonely
hours in his prison cell, has left its
mark on face and form. While there
are those who will demand that
the death sentence be carried out,
still ii is doubtful if greater pun
ishment could be given this man than
to permit him to live on to brood
over the wreck of his life and of that
other, the trusting and innocent girl
cruelty murdered by his hand. He
eonfesses that he has already suffered |
the fortunes of the damned and |
to permit that torture to go on un-
hi Death in its mercy shall come in
he regular way, would be far
greater penalty than even legal MUIR
Ter itself. This is no maudlin SEN
iment. This is not condoning
'riminal. Such sentiments are not
conducive to crime. His life is
wrecked, his conscience will eontin-
lie to upbraid him and, during all the
lark years of the future, the only
Iope before him is the peaceful man
lie of the destroying angel. Who
; there who would not hesitate TO
murder because. forSooth. if convict
d. he would meet only a penalty of
fe Imprisonment
