NAE BEST Man I'M TOWN

The best man we have in our
town for the general good of the
town is the one whom you will al
ways see on the front seat in the
progressive band wagon. He is
the first one to extend an open
and warm hand to greet the
stranger and welcome him to the
best town in the state. He will
resent an insult to our town as
quickly as he would a slur at a
member of his family. He very
pointedly invites the chronic
crOaker to move on" He is
ever ready to give his just proper
tion to every public enterprise. He
talks up our town at home and be
lieves it to be the best place or
Gods green earth in which to
live and desires to be buried here
when he dies. Let US all try anC
be like this man for one year anC
our little town will take on new
life and improve as never before il
its history.

SNAIL TOWN c

There are few professional anc
business men who do not thin
they could have been more success
fnI if they had started in a large
city, instead Of aligning their flu.
ture with that Of a small town.
They look toward the city and
see the glamour Of the leaders; the
poverty-stricken "aiso-rans" are
conveniently overlooked.
National regulations can be &C
quired in small towns, however
and wealth, too There are the

Mayo brothers, of Rochester, Min.
nesota, for instance. They have
made their little prairie town fam.
Gus among scientists the wOrlc
over. 1t sticks out on the map like
a metropolis, though not in the
same sense.
The old saying, that if you can
make a rat trap better than any
n else, and live in the woods, the
world will make a path to youi
door, still holds good.
There is plenty of the finest
kind of success to be attained in
a small town. All you need to dc
is to earn it.

On few predictions was the banking
community agreed. in its discus

financial consequence of a general Eu-
ropean war, than on the prophecy OF
disastrous bankruptcies in the Euro
pean bank and business community.
Yet the official figures show that fail.
ures in the United Kingdom we're less
numerous in either 1914 or 1915 than
in any other year of the preceding

THE MAIL-ORDER HOUSE

THE MAIL-ORDER HOUSE
We think the home merchant has
ever had a more sincere or con-
tant champion that we are. We
lave always and continuously adj
'ocatcd the patronage Of the To-
al merchant exclusively because
ye are quite certain that the in
ividual life and future welfare Of
ne community--not the town and
ne people who live in town-but
he whole community is bound up
n the fight Of the home merchant
gainst the mail order house.
There are times, however, when
ge feel that we are taking a lot
lore interest in the issue than the
aerchants themselves are. Our in
rests are naturally bound up with
heirs, but after all it is the mer-
hants themselves who have the
lost st stake and if they choose
o ignore the inroads of the mail
rider house, why sould we wOrryY
)ne little word tells the story OF
III the successful methods of the
aail-order house, and that is-ad-
ertising. Everlasting and con-
inuous neutrality-suspicious. adj
ertising. The sort of advertising
hat takes no count of the cost so
ong as the results are s~atisfac-
Dry; advertising that is difficult
o prepare and expensive to distri-
butte.
Still, in view of these things,
nd with the greatest advertis-
ng weapon in the world at their
command, there are merchants
Tho will sit back and say "adver-
sing don't do me any good" or
they'll come in and buy from me
nyway when they want anything
have" or "the ads cost too much
money! can't afford it,, or a
thousand and one other excuses,
familiar to the man who solicits
.dvertising for the local papers.
Don't pay? Man alive! Listenl
f advertising did not pay every
nail order house in the United
States would be in the receivers
lands within six months. Local
merchants have their means at
land-their local papers-of COW
ering their territory once each
week with their message to their
customers at one-tenth-yes, one
twentieth of the proportionate
cost to the mail order people. Do
hey use that weapon? In many
cases they do not. They prefer
to sit back and say that it don't
pay, or they can't afford it.
Listen again! The local news
papers are just what the home
merchants make them - no more,
10 less. 1t is the home merchants
hat must support them, and the
home papers are a strength in a
support to the home merchants in a
thousand different ways, or they
ire not-just in the degree that
the papers receive the support of
the merchants.
The newspaper is powerless OF
powerful-just as the merchants
make it.
There is just one answer-con-
sistent and persistent advertising
