LOCAL ADVERTISING IS BEST WEAPON
AGAINST THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE

4 mighty telling argument in favor
Of the retailers of the smaller towns
of the country using advertising space
in their local papers was revealed in
an address made before one Of the i'm
portant advertising clubs recently by
Herman Rosenthal. advertising mana
ger of Sears, Roebuck & Co. Chicago.
in which he laid bare some of the
concerns to increase trade in localities
where the retailers failed to advertise.
Rosenthal made it fairly plain to
his hearers that in communities where
retailers We're alive to the opportuni-
ty afforded by their local papers TO
advertise their wares. Sears. Roebuck
& Co. found the competition harder
to combat Also he disclosed the in
teresting fact that the mail order house
has special departments devoted to the
reading country newspapers in order
to discover sections OF the United
States where retail merchants are not
advertising literally. Here is what
ne said on the point:

is to read each week the coustry news (
papers from all over the country. /
There is not a paper of any conse- (

Washington, D. C.-"In this cam
paign year. when the voters shaIl
choose between two great political
parties. it is pertinent to ask, What
made this country great?
The Republican party made this
nation great. Republican principles
Republican politics, Republican states
manship. Republican legislation, Re
publican management of national af-
fairs made this country great-great
in its population, great in its wealth,
great in its industries. great in its
trade and commerce, great in it's trans
portstion and communication facilities.
and great It's prestige and power and
influence throughout the world" de-
clared Representative Dick T. Morgan.
OF Oklahoma, in a statement given out
here today.
ITO understand how the Republican
party made this country great, go back
TO its platform of 1860" continued
Mr.. Morgan. There you will find
the fundamental principles upon which
the Republican party was founded
upon which it won its first national
victory and placed in the presidential
chair the first Republican president,
Abraham Lincoln. That platform de-
clared, first. for the preservation OF
ha T1fn
and human freedom; third, for the en-
couragement of foreign immigration;
fourth, for a free homestead law; fifth,
for governmental aid in the construc-
ton of transcontinental railway:
and sixth. for protective tariff poll
cy.
Destruction Of the Union would |
have forever precluded the building of |
a great nation on the American conti-
nent. We never could have built a /
great nation here with slavery as its 4
chief cornerstone. Happily for our
country, these two great questions 1
have long since been settled. Every
where our people are alike devoted
to the Union. loyal TO the flag. and
stand for the highest ideals of human
liberty.
Nevertheless. it is an historical fact
that the chief purpose OF organizing
the Republican party was to prevent
the extension of slavery and to pre-
serve the Union.
Through the encouragement Of
foreign immigration the Republican
party contributed immensely to the
growth of the nation. Population is

THE Republican party passed the
free homestead law. Lincoln's signature
to this great act ranks second only
to his signature TO the Emancipation
Proclamation. One made free men; the
other made free homes. The free home
