A WORD FROM THE MANAGER.

Comrades of Bellingham:
You will notice a considerable drop in
the advertising space in our department
this week. This is not the fault of the
manager But it shows that our readers
have not given sufficient response in the
way of patronizing our advertisers. We
are certainly all in accord on the neces-
sity of building a strong socialist press.
There are several avenues through
which newspaper derive their support.
One is through advertising, which in
turn depends upon patronage on the part
of the consumer. Lest there should be
some misunderstanding as to how you
can encourage the growth of the Belling
ham department, l quote from Com
rade Maleys suggestion of last week;
Gone word in regard to the use of the
Consumers League card: Some of our
comrades here have been under the i'm
preston that it was sufficient to make
the entries themselves, thus keeping ac-
count of the purchases made by the
league. The good effect of your work
is lost in large part if you do not pre-
sent your card TO the clerk who serves
you, as the card thus emphasizes Jne
fact that you are in the store because of
the Commonwealth ad. If the managers
of stores are requested to have their
clerks report on the cards presented, you
will find but small difficulty in convinc-
ING the merchants that advertising in
the Commonwealth is worth while"
