MISTAKE OF SMALL TOWN MERCHANTS

The greatest trouble in most small communities is that the mer-
chants as a general rule are jealous of their competitors in the same town
or neighboring town and think because a spasmodc insertion OF a small
ad does not keep them and their clerk jumping o fill orders, it doesnt
pay to advertise. And also they do not pay enough attention to this
most important part OF their business.
As a rule, in his ad writing, when he finally does decide to invest
a few jtneys with the local paper. he waits until the last possible
moment betor getting thu printer the copy and then scriboles only a few
general remarks that the public already knows, such as. be it a erocerv
store: I'VE have sugar, lots OF it," and signs his name, and the same
way with the dry goods store: We handle shirts, socks" and $50 o
through he different lines. OF business. Get some pep into you and
give the people the inducements that others are doing and it will "a
to advertise.
The sooner the merchants of any town where such conditions exist
get to understand that getting up good readable ads, in a n intelligent
manner, OF what they have % sell and what prices they want, is as III
portant as opening up their store in the morning, the sooner they will
learn that it is advertising that brings in the coin.
So many merchants and oothers who have goods to advertise sav.

Get busy or you will be sorry some day to see trade gradually
slipping away from you, and no ones fault but your own. What would
you say to a cerk who would tell you he hadn't time to do a certain
important duty he had to perform? Undoubtedly it would be. Take
time II get out"
Others say: Il don't have to advertise; everybody for miles ,rourd

What does it cost the large mail order houses to advertise and send

IF THEY SHOULD DIE?

We hear mn claiming to be Republicans say with approval that
Roosevelt will name the Republican candidate for the presidency, and
we hear men claiming to be Democrats saying that Bryan will name the
nex Democratic candidate.

job. Drnt Roosevelt nan Taft? And didn't he fight him when
he couldn't run him: Didn't Bryan name Wilson? And isn't he fight

Both PARTIES have rules for the nomination OF candidates. and in
neither instance is it provided that any man shall be the convention.

The Carson correspondent OF the Record Courier springs the TO-
lowing: Before election: The public concern After. tonsarn the
public"
Same also applies to ohice-holders' treatment of newspapers, as
witness the action OF the Democratic commissioners OF Ornsby county
in transferring the county printing to a Republican newspaper. Before
election they nearly run their little legs off in haunting newspaper OIL
fees and overworked. their vocal chords in making specious promises.
After election it's to h. with the papers. They were elected for their
ability and personal popularity" But of this, more anon.

the commuter stopped at the lost ar ticle window to inquire for an umbrella that his wife had left in the station the day before. Much to his qualification, he found it.
 As the attendant handed the umbrella out to him, he heard voice over his shoulder, a somewhat familiar voice, plaintively inquire:
