The Dead Town.

ue Dedu lU"H.
Did you ever 90 into town and,
as you stepped from the train, have
it strike you suddenly that the town
was dead? Have you ever had
town described to you as dead"
town? Have you ever stopped to
analyZe just what is meant by
these words dead town." In the
last analysis they mean just one
thing-and that is that the mer-
chants of the town don't advertise
A dead town has certain positive
aspects of demise which are as bald
as piece of crepe hanging on the
door of private house. The stores
seem to be merely existing. Their
shelves are covered with apparent
ly unsaleable goods The store.
keepers see m to be vying with
each other to see which will win
the first prize as the town crouch.
If you talked with them they
knocked the town, they knocked
business. they knocked the mail Or
der 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 1.-THE town.
If you asked that merchant if he ad-
vertised, he would have looked at
you with amaZement. What was
the use of advertising when busi-
ness was so bad? People swho had
money to spend, he would tell you
were sending it to the mail order
houses. No. he would say hedidn't
advertise? He wouldn't throw good
money after. On the other hand
90 into a live town and what will
yyu see? The merchants have at
tractive displays In their stores.
The daily or weekly newspapers are
filled with big announcements of
special sales or low priced goods.
They are not afraid Of the mail or
der houses because they have the
same means to reach the people
advertising-that makes the mail
order house great. The merchants
have their local association for mu-
tual help, and behind the .associa-
ton the local newspaper is pushing,
pushing, pushing. Everybody is
working and everybody is happy
and boosting. If you want live
town get behind the newspaper and
the newspaper will do the rest. For
get the timeworn arguments that
the paper is dead one. The paper
is alive enough if the people are
alive. The surest test of live
town is a live newspaper, and a
newspaper can't be alive unless the
town boosters do their share.
