To the Man Who
Runs the Store


Are the goods on your shelves
advertised by the manufacturers
who induced you to stock up
with them?
Ir you were called upon to ad-
vertise these goods, and to let
people know that you sold them,
what medium would you en-
ploy?
Without hesitation, we can
answer this question for you.
THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS,
of course.
You know, Mr.. Dealer, that
the one way to create an actual
demand that means sales over
YOUR counter is through the me-
dium of the daily press. When
manufacturers, therefore, want
to advertise their goods, tell
them that the way to help you
move these goods from your
shelves is to use the newspapers
of this city.
And be sure to cooperate with
the manufacturer who spends
money to bring customers to
YOUR store.

Gives You thu
Poorest Service?

Is 1t the merchant who has
the brightest store, the most at
tractive things to sell you, a
polite and intelligent sales force
to serve you ano an all round
genial. home-llke welcome at
mosphere awaiting you In his
shop--and then tells you about
1t in his advertising.
Is II from that kind of mer-
chant that you receive poor SER
vice? 1t is not probable.
The chances are ten to one
that the poorest service and the
least satisfaction come from
the shops where business is done
under antiquated conditions;
where the merchandise is badly
chosen and badly displayed;
where salespeople are not we'll
informed and courteous and
obliging: and where the mer-
chant either mas nothing much
of interest to advertise or else
doesn't believe in advertising"
There MAY be exceptions hut,
If SO, they indicate the rule.
The best service comes from
the business that has so much
confidence in its methods and
Its merchandise that 1t is part
of its splendid service to tell
you about it.
Faithful ad-readers seldom go
to the wrong stOra

STATE MOVES TO
find LYNCHERS
Governor WIN Send Attorney
General II Williams County
Authorities Fail

Williston, N. D., Dec. Undetermined
to sift to the bottom the lynching OF
Cleve Culbertson here yesterday, States
Attorney Usher l.. Burdick Of Williams
county today left Williston to make a
tour through the Ray district in the hope
of getting some tangible clue as to the
identity Of members Of he mob. Bur
dick believes there is general knowledge
in the Ray district as to the identity o.
at least a few of the %lynchers, and he
will question men who have been most
bitter against Culbertson.
At Springbrook, Burdick Will visit sew
eral men who, about midnight Tuesday,
saw several automobiles pass through
there headed toward Winston. That these
cars contained some of the lyncherS Is
the belief Of officials.
That the crowd that came from the vic
unity Of Ray was met at the OUTSKIRTS
Of Williston by another coming from
the west is no longer doubted. n while
Burdick is investigating the eastern END
Of the affair, other officials haye gone
to Mondak and intermediate points in
the hope of securing some information
as to the identity Of the lynchers.
The body of Culbertson was buried at
the expense Of the county today, Word
from the wife Culbertson deserted at
Dorchester, Neb., before coming to this
state was received today. in respo Sc to
a telegram sent her, making inquiry as
