LOCAL DEALERS
MISS OPPORTUNITY
Merchants Can Get Local Advertising
by Manufacturers if They
Demand it

Merchants in the towns and cities
of the country who sell goods adver-
tised in the high priced magazines
are neglecting rich opportunities for
themselves In not demanding from
manufacturers that they should spread
their appropriation among the news
papers of the localities in which their
goods are sold Dealers associations
supposedly are formed for the bene-
fit of the members, yet not one, SO
far as known, has had the originality
to raise this question at meetings and
work as an organization for publicity
that helps the local dealer. Direct ad
vertising for the dealer is what
counts. Dealers throughout the coun
try should write manufacturers de
manding local advertising and should
bring the matter up in their associa
ton meetings until the manufacturers
are aroused to knowledge that the
most efficient advertising which bene
fits the dealer is in local and home
publications which reach the masses

CHICAGO, Dec. IA decision OF
vital Importance to the west, accord
ing to Chicago financiers, has been
made by Comptroller Murray Of the

removed the restriction formerly
made against several types OF west

First mortgage real estate bonds
are now legal investments for ma

could not purchase an undivided mort
gage. Such bonds are often issued in
western cities to finance the construc-
tion of large new buildings, and build
ing operations in many western cities
will be greatly benefited by the comp
troIler's ruling. The safety of this
class of bonds has led many state

purchase them in large amounts and
