Harry Z. Murray, Republican candi-

THE $4,000 We pay annually for the
rental of the present municipal Off
ces would represent the annual inter

per cent Wouldn't that be good in
vestment and would it not be good
business? One hundred thousand dol
lars could secure building convent

be an ornament to cur city. -

visors retire from office they will
have left in socalled cash basis fund
sum in the neighborhood of So, 600.
This cash basis fund would not be
necessary were the frontage laws pro-
perly amended and enforced. Then
why not divert this 5000 back to the
general revenues of the city and erect
such a hospital? This requires legis-
Iation If elected / will look after

too? ......
I'm this connection why not estab-
fish ward for the care of inebriates

These unfortunates have no place of
refuge save the streets, and any step
to restore them to manhood by the
means of such plan would be step
forward and would universally re-
dound to the credit of our city.
1T costs the city approxima aIy
$4,000 year for hospital expenses
"This amount would materially as

MIR. MERCHANT:
Your attention for a mo-

Re Serving the Public

Each and every business depending upon the
patronage of the public, owes that public more
than little consideration.
The people who patronize your business have
the right to all the knowledge that might in any
way facilitate their dealings Vi you.
z 1t is only siustce that the public which sup
ports your business should receive all the as
sistance possible from you in gaining trade in
formation
Z When person picks up publication, adver-
Using a nationally sold article, the first thought
is where can get it.
T Mr.. Dealer, that's your cue.
z Tell that person that you have the goods. =.
2 Advertise the fact.
Advertising is the performance of as distinct
a service to your patrons as courteses shown
them in your store. By that service you also
serve yourself in causing immediate sales-and
in the forming of valuable friendship with
pleased customers who recognize the fact that
your service extends right into their homes.
As matter of fact nowadays people realize
that one is not really well informed unless the
daily newspaper advertising is read constantly
and inteligently. r. ."s.'s
In these days of fierce mai-order and local
competition, You cannot depend upon show
windows and your reputation to attract custom
ers.
T You must advertise steadily and effectively.
If you do not competitor who does will event
ually get your customers away from you, to
say nothing of the new business available The
merchant who fails to advertise regularly and
literally in an intelligent manner in his home
papers makes grave error.
Z The failure of a merchant to advertise tends
to relegate him with the obsolete class, the
methods of which are Anticipated.
7 The daily newspaper is recognized as the
most proficient medium of information on all
subjects. Therefore it is the logical organ for
you to use in enlightening the public as to what
you have to sell.
