ADVERTISERS CORNER
ITS CIVIC VALUE
What Advertising Means to Mer-
chants Of the Town at Large.
LET PEOPLE KNOW YOUR WARES.
Extensive Advertising is the Life of
Trade-Are You Doing Your
Part.

What is the civic value of a mer-
| chants advertisements? Everybody
knows, or ought TO know, the value
of an advertisement TO the adver
tiser, but what is the value of the
advertisement to the town at large?
Extensive advertising is the mark
of progress, and as each persons an
huences and is Influenced by each
person with whom he comes in con-
tact. so the progressive spirit shown
by one earnest advertiser communi-
Gates itself to some other merchant,
who, in turn, carries some other busi-
ness man along the path, until the
whole town is filled with the desire of
growing, not only in business way
personally, but generally.
it is a perfectly natural human
esire for everybody to want to i'm
prove. The man who is entirely sat
isfed with himself will never travel
far on the Road If Progress. Oliv n
Wendell Holmes said: 1.-The great
thing in the world is not so much
where we stadd, as in what direction
we are moving" and we certainly do
not want to move in the wrong di-
rection.
Everything in nature, at some
time or other, needs some form of
coaxing. TAX :, for example, some
little plant for which you have some
special fondness; how carefully it is
watere and tended, and watched and
guarded. How very much more i'm
portant in your business, your means
of existance, the THING wbicn en-
ables you and your family to be fed
and clothed, and to provide that penny
for the inevitable rainy DAY.
Ask yourself the question, "Am
doing my part for the upouilding of
my town? and then this one cam
doing everything in my power t. add
to the comfort and convenience of my
custOmers?' Jenkins Lloyd Jones
writes: "The question is not what
are they doing, but what am doing?
Not why do you not do this, that or
the other, but why am not l doing
this, that or the other?"
Each seems too anxious to wait for
the other fellow, aid in waiting SO
often loses his opportunity, and even
when a good example is offered is too
slow in following on.
Let people know what you have
for them to buy, and thereby not only
advertise yourselves, but the city
whe rein you live, which it is your
duty to help along the Road of Pro-
gress.
