merchandise if of high quality and
your prices and business methods
fair and reasonable. You must
get this information into the minds
of the people whose dollars you
seek.
1t is a poor idea to put one
cents worth of thought in ten
dollars worth of space. Space
that is worth buying is worth
filling with carefully thought out
copy. The old style of flamboyant
Dragging is no longer used by good
merchants. For good goods and
low prices go to Smiths En-
porium" no longer is looked upon
as filling the requirements of busi-
ness-compelling copy. Knock
ing" competitors is also out of date.
Space costs too much to use it for
anything but simple, direct and
logical appeal for patronage.
Before writing an advertise
ment ask yourself the question:
why should people come here
and buy this merchandise" Then
put the answers into your copy.
Place yourself in the position of
the prospective buyer, try to see
the reasons which will appeal to
him and influence him to the point
of coming into your store and trad
ing his money for your goods.
Sensational advertising is seldom
justified, and only under special
circumstances will it bring busi-
ness. A store that continuously

THE county option election in
Clay county on Tuesday is further
evidence that county option" is
unfair and discriminatory and will
not work out we'll in the long run.
The county voted dry, but the
centers of population, the cities
of Moorhead and GAINESVILLE, went
wet heavily. The country districts
voted dry and they were in the
majority, so that the decision of
the voters of both Barnesville and
Moorhead count for nothing and
the saloons will have to close up in
six months time. You cant but
admit that it is unfair for the tax
payers of the country districts,
who bear none of the municipal
expense, should say whether the
cities or villages should be wet or
dry. Local option was all that
could be desired and we reiterate
what we have said before: that
county option works but one way,
and that to the detriment of the
incorporated municipalities. 1t
proved misconception and a delu-
sion in the state of Ohio, and it
will prove the same in Minnesota.

INDICATIONS seem to be that
more than the ordinary number OF
automobile tourists will visit the
Iron Range country during the
coming summer. There will be
less foreign travel this season than
usual and it has been decided this
will be good year to see America
first. The city of Duluth is adver-
tised as the coolest summer spot on
the map of the United States. 1t
will be the mecca of hundreds of
tourists from all sections of the
country. To visit Duluth and not
the Ranges is a mistake. That
city and the Ranges are connected
by one of the finest turnpikes in
all the west in dry weather and an
excellent road under all conditions.
The towns and villages of the
Mesaba and Vermilion Ranges from
Grand Rapids to Ely are just a
leisurely days drive by automobile.
1t is doubtful if there is a prettier
country drive in the state. 1t
passes lakes and rivers, picturesque
streams, mines of iron ore, cozy
farm homes, forests of evergreen.
thriving and we'll improved cities.
The motor tourist who comes to
Duluth and does not visit the
Ranges is making mistake.
However, it is doubtful if the hun
dreds of people who are laying out
itineraries for automobile trips
know much of the Range country.
If memory serves us correctly there
is not an automobile club on the
Range. There should be one in
every town if for no other reason
than the influence it would be
possible thus to exert on the mat
ter of keeping roads in repair and
keeping in touch with organiza-
tions and agencies who make itin-
eraries for automobile tours. There
is no finer motor trip in the north
west than day on the Iron Ranges.

ever you can. 1t will help bring

vertising wears itself out. The
boy cried Wolf! Wolff" so many
times that when the wolves really
did come the people needed him
not. They had grown Indifferent

better to understand ones case
than to overstate it, Let your
advertising possess a certain dignity
and sincerity. Let people find in
time that your goods are really
better than you claim and your
prices always fair considering
quality.
There are comparatively few
people today who still believe the
earth to be fiat, and yet there are
multitudes of people who believe
that advertising does not pay.
Advertising does pay and the form
of advertising that pays best, most
continuously and most certainly
is the local newspaper. People read
newspapers and they read the adver-

buy what they see advertised in
newspapers. For the retail mer-
chant newspaper advertising is the
best, first, last and always.
