The Dead Town.

Did you ever go into town
and, have it strike you suddenly
that the town was dead? Have
you ever had a town described to
you as a dead" town? Have
you ever stopped to analyze just
what is meant by these words
dead town." In the last anal
ysis they mean just one thing
and that is that the merchants
of the town don't advertise. A
dead town has certain positive
aspects of demise which are as
bald as a piece of crepe hanging
on the door of a private house.
The stores seem to be merely ex-
isting. Their shelves are cover
ed with apparently unstable
goods. The storekeepers seem
to be wing with each other to
see which will win the first prize
as the town crouch. Ifyou talk
ed with them they knocked the
town, they knocked business,
they knocked the mail order
house. They were continually
complaining that other people did
business and made money but
that they didn't seem to be able
to sell anything. They guessed
it was the town. Yes, that was
it, the town. If you asked that
merchant if he advertised, he
would have looked at you with
amazement. What was the use
of advertising when business is
so bad? People who had money
to spend, he would tell you were
sending it to the mail order hous-
es. No, he would say he didn't
advertise? He wouldn't throw
good money after bad. On the
other hand, go into a live town
and what will you see? The mer
chants have attractive displays |
in their stores. The daily and |
weekly newspapers are filled up
with big announcements of spe-
cial sales or low priced goods.
They are not afraid of the mail
order houses because they have
the same means to reach the peo-
Pile advertising that makes the
mail order house great. The
have their local asso-
citation for mutual help, and be-
hind the association the local
newspaper is Distinguishing
Everybody is working
and everybody is happy and is
boosting. If you want a live
town get begind the newspaper
and the newspaper will do the
rest. Forget the timeworn argu
ments that the paper is a dead
one. The paper is alive enough
if the people are alive. The sur
est test of a live town is a live
newspaper, and a newspaper
can't be alive unless the town
boosters do their share.
