Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1918-02-15

The time to stop advertising is
when you are ready to stop doing
business.
One thing about Bill the Kaiser,
he's a steady advertiser. The fact
that he hasn't the goods to deliver
never seems to feaze him.
Can't afford to advertise? Perhaps
that is because you don't. You'll no
tice that the big mail order houses
can afford it; they can afford it be-
cause they advertise.
But Bruiser Bill isn't the only fell
low that believes in advertising. The
business men of Delta seem to have
the same idea, only to a better pur-
pose; they crowded the Delta Atlas
this week with APO inches of display
advertising, exclusive of classified
ads. and sale notices-and they doubt
less have the goods to deliver rs adj
vertised. However, we are not want
ing you to buy your goods in Delta.
"A nickle a day" from every one of
the 10000 people Of the state
would produce a daily saving of $780,
900; In a year this would produce the
enormous total of SOL, $50 900. This
amount, with equal savings from ev-
cry state in the Union, would come
close to furnishing the 1000, 000, 000
needed by the government from this
source; It might be the two billion the
government needs to carry the Stars
and Stripes over the Rhine into the
very heart of the boche country.

We are not growing rich, nor dc
we expect to; we are Just doing bust
ness on a fair basis as we see it,
counting the cost Of our product anc
charging our patrons enough to cover
the cost, allow us to pay u help
living wage and meet our honest
debts. We have not the means to en-.
able us to sell our product for les:
than 1t costs us, nor can we afforC
to work for nothing ourselves; there
fore, in order to be honest with EN-.
ployes, patrons, creditors and our
selves, we sell the Tribune for $1.5(
per year and we are convinced that W,
not only are giving value received
but also that we r not taking un
fair advantage Of any one, or seeking
to injure any n in so doing.

One hundred and seventy-one bod
les Of victims of the Tuscania disas
ter have been buried at differen
points on the Scotch coast; of these
seven were bodies of the crew, fou:
identified and three unidentified. On
hundred and sixty-four were our owl
American boys, 33 of whom were un
identifed-swept out of existence be
fore they had a chance to strike
blow against the foe of human lib
erty, justice and decency; the mean
est mot the greatest) most despica
bic foe that has ever menaced civil
cation. Small wonder if in the day
ear at hand in certain sectors of tn
battle line on the Wetsern front tn
slogans, Remember the Lusitania
and Remember the Tuscania" vii
act as a spur that will impell brav
American boys to show no quarter t
q treacherous enemy.

Our American soldiers in Franc
are sustaining their reputation TO
courage and efficiency. On the sec
tor assigned to them in French LoI
aine they were engaged in an artiller
duel with the Germans last Satul
day in which according to dispatche
received by the daily press, they wo

Those men of ours must be feC
clothed, cared for and paid by TIL
nation; those dear to them whom the
have left behind in their homelan
must also be cared for. Fresh troop
to reinforce the army already in az

clothed, and transported to Europe
