Merchants Do Not Real

The Best Way To Keep Out

Local News
paper

How many times when talking ad
vertising to one of our local nrer
! chants have we been countered with
the statement, why should | adver
tise? I've been here for years and
everybody knows me?" There prob
ably isn't publisher who has not
heard this time and again.
The trouble with these merchants is
they are not up with the times. They
do not realize advertising is devel
opment Of modern business competi-
ton. In nine cases out of ten, if you
will walk along the same street on
which the 'old and established" firms
are located, you will find that in the
last few years other firms sprung
up and have established trade equal,
if not superior, to that of the old and
established firms.
Is there hidden business secret
that has enabled these new firms to
build up in couple OF years a trade
equal and superior to the "old and
established" firms of ten years stand
ing?
There is no secret. The reason for
their growth is shown in the two
words: Newspaper Advertising"
The government census experts es-
innate that in a large city the incom-
ing and outgoing population amounts
to complete change in every seven
years. That IS, each year one seventh
of the population changes.
Any merchant, if he will but stop
and consider, will realize that there
are comparatively few of the families
still living in the community who re-
member when he started in business.
Ask any non-advertising merchant
to stop the first ten strangers he
meets and ask them to name a mer-
chant in his lin. His feelings will
probably be hurt with their answers.
for they will name the one who ad-
vertises.
The best way to keep out competi-
ton in any line is to advertise in the
local newspaper. The best way to
become a leader is to advertise.

and binders. Civilians came away in every
conceivable vehicle, in wheelbarrows, in
baby carriages, in little dogcarts, in farm
wagons; but most of them came on foot,
walking in the bitches beside the long lines
of troops. Roads were as dusty as in mid
summer Every tree, every blade of grass
by the wayside, was white with the fine
powder churned up by innumerable wheels
and feet.
"The refugees in their weak misery and
the soldiers in their stout-hcarted calm

other fleeing back to where they were

and women whom they had come to trust

mo phase of the British army is more
complete in its system than supply and

which always subordinates the prosaic to

the uncomplaining beast of burden that
carrles on its back the wherewithal to live

of the Department of Civil Affairs of

of the work Of his department, which he
calls can International Adventure"-
"the work on the front line does not tell
the whole story of civilian relief in the
great battle of 1918. There is the work in
Paris and the work in all the rest of
France. For the refugees, starting in a
little corner of the North Of France, poured
out in great stream south and west--to
Brittany, to Touraine, Burgundy, Provence
and the Basque country. Wherever they
went they found the American Red Cross
awaiting them. The machinery which had
been organized to care for the repatriates
coming back to France from behind the
German lines Immediately transformed
into great organization to establish the
refugees. The Paris bureaus were stripped
and emergency groups sent north and south
and east and west. Others gave up their
sleep to work through the night in the sta-
tion canteens"

The good effects upon home politics
are pointed out by the "Gernania," now
the most influential Catholic organ:
Belgium is the most important question
raised by the war, and with the Chanceliors
clear statement regarding it the ineerns'
political situation can now be considered
as no longer strained"
But Theodor Wolff Of the "Berliner
Tageblatt," probably the most infuenV@
editor of Germany, reminds the Chan-
cellor that " for nobody outside OF Ger
many is Belgium even q question ol
argument" and he adds:
"At the beginning of the war Germany
entered into very definite obligations ~
garding Belgium, and even if these coi'sS'

suddenly where work for which thev are

faced to-day. A beginning has been made,

Mobilization of the mutilated, and the
provident care Of Frances childhood,

follows:

battalions of doctors and nurses and social
workers, of business men and professional
women, crossed the sea to aid in fight
ing tuberculosis and infant mortality, in
reconstructing shattered villages and shat

world to do but to fight on against the dan

Summarizing the speech, "The st.
Louis Republic" writes:
"Von Hertling reveals a situation in
which the Allies may have peace by open
ing negotiations with diplomatic thimble-
rigger, who is the creature of the military
command, upon the basis of document
which promises nothing and leaves Hinden-
burg and Ludendortf full scope to claim the

THE Philadelphia Public Ledger" sees
in the speech. After noting many points
overlooked by Hertling, the paper con-
cludes thus:
"Another little thing omitted from the
calculations of the German theorists is
that the Allies propose to drive the Ger
mans out of Belgium before the war closes.
They will not buy them out. If it takes
ten years they will bayonet them Quit"
Of the reception of the speech by the
German press we are not adequately in
formed. Some of the moderate and Lib
eral organs, indeed, were quoted in the
cable dispatches as highly pleased, but it
