Great Aid In Fighting Mail

The POWER OF THE PRESS

Printing Press Can Do For Home
Mercha nts--How to Make the Best
Use of a Very Efficient Weapon In
Fight For the Home Market.
copyrighted, 1914, By Thomas j. SuliVanl
In former days superstitious rites
were used to exercise evil spirits. but
IN our times the same effect is attain
ed and beyond comparison more eff
fectually by the newspapers. Before
the talisman ghosts, vampires, witches
and all their kindred tribes are driven
from the land. never To return. Moth
ing is so intoerable 10 them as the
smell of printing ink.
New Element Of Power.
What gunpOwder did for war the
printing press can do for the local mer-
chants who are competing with the re-
tail mail order houses. but the first
step toward enlisting the aid and
friendship of the editor is 10 under
stand that he is ready to boost his
home town all the time and that every
dollar expended with him for adrertis-
ing will return dollars worth Of ben
eft or more. He asks no fayOrs Of
any one; he has n dollars worth to sell,
and lie can deliver the goods every
time.
The invention Of printing added a
new element OF power 10 the race

arm, the thinker and not the soldier,

Power CT the Press.

powerful. That power is ours Ii is
the greatest that man can enjoy. II

not gained for Us 10y ariStocra i'E. hu,
it sprang from the people. and With no
immortal instinct it has always worked
for the people.
Not infrequently are the editors
themselves to hiame for the general
impression that the chief value OF a
local paper is an evidence that the
town is fully alive and fuil% up 10
date.
White Space His Stock In Trade.
The publishers stock In trade is the
white space in his paper which he
has TO sell. the value of which the
merchant can determine by his efforts
to make good Use of II. not by little
four or six inch ad once - month, but
by good, large, well prepared ad. run
ming week after week.
The local merchants and towns
people who are fighting the retail mail
order houses can find no more valuable
aid than the local editor.
The local merchant can do business
on a smaller margin Of profit than the
mail order house. as his expenses are
less. He does not need 10 carry such
a large stock. rs he knows his people
and their desires. and he knows and
can prove that he can sell better goods
for the money than the other fellow.
How to Get Results.
No doubt the principle reason why a
few merchants say that advertising In
local papers does not pay is because
they themselves make small use of the
space they buy. This is the day of
bargains, and consequently the space
in the paper attracts attention. Give a
little time and thought to the prepara-
ton of your ads. The merchant who
will do this will get results and will
no longer have cause to complain of
the local press being no good as a
drawing medium.

And when he dies go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless

Drains Town Of Dollars.

How many farmers and consumers
are doing the same identical thing as
was this farmer-draining the town

There was never a better illustra-
tion than the retail mail order house

How many of them employ modern,
up to date methods in the conduct of
their business? Do they advertise in
telligently and consistently, telling the
public what they have for sale and at
what price? When there is a slight
business depression in their town do
they increase their advertising or do
they hurry to the local newspaper and
cut out their ad.?
He Wouldn't Advertise.
BY constant and liberal use of the
advertising columns of the local press
the merchants encourage the editors to
greater effort in providing more and
better local reading matter and in this
way the advertising worth of the paper
is materially Increased. rs the arrival
of a paper worth while is always

Pacific Mill
Now Operating
Is Treating Sixty five Tons of Ore Per Dav and ~,
Sufficient Blocked Out to Keep the Mill Runniro ,.
definitely

The Pacific Mill was placed in
commission this week and is now
crushing, grinding and concentrating
sixty-tive tons per day of the low
grade ore from the Pacific mill. This
is the best news that has come out of
American Fork Canyon for long
time, as it stamps the district as be-
inga permanent one. The mill has a
capacity for handling 65 tons of ore
per day. and superintendent Carl
Ferlin says that he has enough ore
blocked out to keep IL running for a
year, to say nothing of the thousands
of tons on the dump taken out in
prospecting the past year.
The mill cost about $4,000 to build
and equip. 1t is using electricity for
power. which comes from the Snake
Greek plant. six or seven miles dis
itant. The ore is first dumped into a
bin, passes through the crusher into
another bin and, after passing through
two sets of rolls, 1t comes out a fine
powder onto the Diester tables,
where water separates the light waste
from the ore which passes into bins
for the ore haulers. 1t is now run
ming smoothly at top speed and is
giving satisfaction in every respect.
. The mill itself will probably sup
ply two cars Of concentrates per week,
and the mining of the low grade ore
will increase the out put of high grade
so that the mine will be n steady ship
per hereafter with probably a total OF
three cars of ore per week sent down
to the smelter.
| During the past week the Dutchman
under lease by the operators of the
Pacific Mine, has opened up a fine
body of ore which may possibly mean
the necessity of adding another unit
to the mill which is located on Dutch
man ground Superintendent Ferlir
says that soon as he Is able to take
care of the bad air encountered he will
sink on the new strike to depth OF
at least 100 feet. He countson max.
ing the Dutchman a producer of high
grade and mill ore and that, too a,
