The Spirit of
Later-Day
Advertising.

As we have said before, the
purpose of The Gate City Is
first of all to serve its readers.
To do this is not only the right
moral attitude toward our con-
stituency but 1t Is good busi-
ness, speaking from a purely
business standpoint.
And so 1t is that we point out
from day to day the advertising
features of this paper and the
advantages to be gained from
keeping posted In all of the
news thus presented.
The spirit of advertising is
different today from that of a
few years ago. The idea no
longer Is to fool and to misrepre-
sent, but to inform and to in
vite. And 1t is the constant
aim of the good merchant to
stick resolutely to facts.
1t is this spirit on the part OF
advertisers that makes for con-
fidence and enables us to direct
the attention of our readers to
the profitable practice of "ad"
reading, feeling that in so do
ing we render them distinct
service.
