WESTERN PACIFIC
Public Utilities Commission
May Be Asked to Use It's
Good Offices for Favor
able Action.

The public utilities commission of
this state may use its good offices to
secure construction of feeders to the
Western Pacific railroad in Idaho. This
is the report that has been received in
local business circles. 1t is based on
the fact that T. ]. Wyche, chief engi-
neer of that road, Is now In the inter-
mountain country giving the main line
of the Western Pacific a careful inspec-
ton, together with territory that offers
sufficient tonnage advantages for feed
ers. He is expected to be in Boise in
the near future on the same mission.
The Western Pacific was recently re-
organized and taken from the hands of
receivers. 1t was announced some
time ago that $20,000,000 would be in
vested in the construction Of feeders
after the necessary engineering inves-
legations had been made. These in
designations are now under way.
DATA Is PRESENTED.
The commercial clubs and other
business bodies of cities and towns in
southern Idaho have been active in
presenting to the officials of the West
ern Pacific data showing way that
lOtt0 Dullu ltCoclo lItO ihoho'
Some of them have, or will take the
matter up with the public utilities
commission and urged that body to
use its good offices to bring about
construction work.
Surveys have been made for the
construction of a feeder to the western
Pacific from Winnemucca, New, to
Boise This city has made the
strongest possible representations to
those interested in the Western Pa
cific and have met with favorable at
tention.
WILLING TO ACT.
Axel P. Ramstedt, president of the
Idaho commission, was asked If such
representations had been made to the
commission and what the commits
sion's attitude would be II they We're.
He said:
There have been no such represen-
tations that I know of. The commits
sion has been away for several days
and requests my have been received
during it's absence. OF course, if
such requests were made the commits
sion's attitude would be favorable"

PAGE NEWSPAPER ADS
PUT PEP IN CAMPAIGN
Address By Advertising Direc.
tor Of The B. F. Good
rich Company.

Manager OF The b. +. Goodrich
Company, in an address
today turned the search
light upon newspaper advertising
and proved that it rested upon
stable, secure and successful
foundation for the widespread
PRONUNCIATION of the gospel of
modern merchandising.
Il don't care how many autos
you own, or whether you're a
movie bug, or a golf fiend, a card
shark, a book-worm, or whether
the whole family is down sick,
you read the newspapers every
one of you. There's nothing in
the realm of print that beats the
newspaper-reading habit for
hanging on to your curiosity.
You must know who is being
nominated for president, how
many warships went down yes
terday, what is happening in
town, in other cities and in other
countries and you must know
it today.
And when you read the
newspapers you must read the
ads. You can't escape them
not when they are written so
that they uncover vital spot in
your armor Of supposed indiffer-
ence. Any other kind of an ad
doesn't count. You would't
read it if time hung heavy on
your hands.
Il believe an advertiser should
not attempt to capture the full
quota of newspaper readers by
small space unless forced to.
Use quarter pages and half pages
as much as you can, Then your
message can't be missed.
"And every now and then run
a full page ad. It will put pep
into almost any selling campaign.
It towers head and shoulders
above the other claimants for at
tention. 1t is impressive. It's
the big voice. in modern mer-
chandizing the voice that is
heard round the whole city and
out across the highways and by
ways of papers trading terri
It's a AZ en-. cannon shetland
its deep boom signals a selling
victory.
Every quarter page or half
page ad that follows page has
twice the chance to succeed and
to interest and impress the great
bulk of readers with the adver-
Users message. Experience
proves it.
1.-The B. F. Goodrich Co., re-
Gently ran a page ad all over the
country entitled Integrity-and
the house behind the tire The
effect of this page was electrical.
Dealers everywhere pasted the
page in their windows. News
paper readers were deeply i'm
pressed with the bigness, re-
liability and good faith of the
wonderful Goodrich organization.
1.-THE cost of this page in no
sense represented the great dol
lars and cents goodwill value
which the Goodrich Company Sc
cured as a result. TWAS money
maker, was that page ad. And
it has vastly helped its smaller
brothers, the quarter and half
pages which followed. to sell
Goodrich Tires. 1t put thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth
of life into the whole campaign
above what it cost. 1t has prov
ed itself wonderful invest
ment.
