ADVERTISER AND LOCAL PAPER

Copyright 1912 by Geo e Patterson.
The relation of the local paper and the advertiser should be con-
genial as one is more or less dependent upon the other. When the
advertiser places advertising in the local paper he expects results. The
newspaper whe it accepts advertising promises in effect that the paper
has a local REGULATION commensurate with the rate charged.
Advertising should be given in good faith a s II IS accepted in good
faith. It is purely a business transaction. The newspaper sells its
space, or services, to the advertiser, just as any n sells any other
commodity.
There are three things for the advertiser to bear in mind. First,
he should map ut a systematic advertising campaign and be persistent
in carrying It out. Second, he should prepare his advertisements s.
they are attractive interesting and convincing. Third, he must back
up his advertising campaign with good service, Dr. he cannot expect to
hold his trade and get the best results Ut of his advertising.
The advertiser must realize that all responsibility for the prepara-
ton of the advertisements are with himself. II the advertisements
have no merit n o results should be expected. 1t is ridiculous to blame
the newspaper when neither the advertisements no conditions warrant
results.
There is n o n morei interested in seeing advertisements profitable
than the newspaper, as the advertising in the paper is what makes the
publication of the paper possible, thus aiding lin the dissemination of
local news, the creation of local interest, and the building of the local
communicate of which Is necessary to the success of local business.
On the other hand there should be n me stronger in his friend
ship for the local paper than the local advertiser. The local newspaper
not be treated as a n enemy, but rather al a friend and semiparner In
the task Of business getting.

allowed to take up more congenial work

Thousands OF young people have no
places to go. no place where they can

dance halls. The girls have no place to

one of the sweetest and finest charac-

hours after the ball going backward

Miss Lord, in trying to supply the

When you realize how inadequately

D IsHoP HIckEY's arraignment of
n modern women whom he calls
'tinseled with fashion, slaves to
custom and who do not blush when
modesty is outraged in print, in song
and on the street" has raised a storm
of criticism from defenders of the sex
who see the other side of the picture.
Women of this kind are greatly in
the minority. They are in evidence
because they have nothing to do but
parade around and advertise their lack
of brains and heart. But the great mass
Of women uphold the high standard Of
morals despite constant temptation. No
one hears of them because they are too
busy to exploit themselves as the tin
seled' woman does
