A advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. housewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle Of people in
fluenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway Of business Methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
ficiency and economy and wise judg-
n1ent. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If q merchant holds the at

~ 1ME was, and within the memo
ries Of many of US, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp owed,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

BRIDGE CONTRACT AWARDED

At the regular meeting of the Town Council on Monday night bids for the construction of the two bridges to be built across the Frisco river in Cliff ton were opened and awarded. The construction of the bridge on the East Side was let to the Midland Bridge Co.,, of Kansas City, the original bid being $25, ,S39 .00. On account Of few minor changes in the foundations in which piling will be used and also in the construction of the sidewalk a difference of $1240 was added to the bid making the contract price $27,- O79 .OO. Work on the foundations is expected to be started about the first of July and the bridge will be com pleted within nine months, unless un- foreseen circumstances hinder the de- livery of material.
 All bids opened for the South Clifton bridge were found to be too high and were rejected. It was decided by the Council to erect a concrete bridge at this place instead of steel, as it would be much cheaper. Bids for this struc- ture will be readvertised at once and it is probable that the South Clifton bridge will have been completed be- fore that one on the East Side.

MISS S|DEBOTHAM WINS DODGE
 AUTO

As a result of hard work and con- sistent effort for the past six weeks in the Copper Era Greater Automobile Contest. Miss Nora Sidebotham is to- day richer by several hundred dollars. Miss Sidebotham lead her nearest com petitor Miss Nettie Smith, by a mar gin of 172,460 votes, Miss Smith being handicapped from the fact that she started in the race some two weeks after the other candidates. Dave Ruiz and Miss Emil Tanning of Morenci stood respectively third and fourth in the race, both having made a very good showing. As agreed during the contest to give the beautiful Dodge touring car or a cash consideration, Miss Sidebotham chose the latter, and in turn the Copper Era disposed of the car to R. M. Kelly from whom it was originally purchased. In this connec- tion Miss Sidebotham wishes to thank the hundreds of friends who aided her, and to especially thank MT. Dave Lloyd who aided her in winning the car either by subscriptions or with in dividual help. She is more than pleas ed with her victory, and winning by a small margin the prize is all the more appreciated.
 A great deal of interest was mani fested in the race from the beginning and the six weeks contest was full oi good natured rivalry on the part

of the candidates, each of whom de serves much credit for the good work done. The race was close one all the way through and until an excep- tional spurt on the. part Of the four leaders near the end it was hard to tell who would win the handsome car. All the candidates put forth their best efforts and if there is anyone in Creerlee county who has not heard of the Copper Era it is not their fault. They were at all times pleasant and courteous with those with whom they came in contact and to this in a great measure is no doubt due their success. The contest was one of the most sue cessful ever conducted in Greenlee county or the State by weekly newspaper and the Copper Era is now to be found in nearly every home in CseenIee county.
 Besides the automobile there were six other prizes, the seccnd and third being beautiful watches and the re naming four, handsome Lavalieres.
