SEATTLE MARKET LETTER,

SEATTLE. Sept. 2S.-Dealers de-
clare that the government reports of
bumper potato crops have been mis-
leading, and that digging does not pan
cut with the promise of the vines. Ely
pert buyers assert that the crop will
not be over rs per cent of the govern
ment report.
The week opened under normal in
the volume of trade on Western ave-
rue. Neither the spud or apple mar
ket has settled to normal basis.
Prices of apples are subject to fluc-
tuations under the unsettled condi-
tions now prevailing. Many growers
are disposed to hold for last years
prices. There is a short crop in Jon
athons and Grimes Golden and the de-
mand is fair.
The Seattle butter market was three
cents lower, beginning Tuesday morn
ing, making city creamery extras, in
bricks, 63 cents per pound and in cubes
81 cents per pound. Butter fat drop
ped in proportion.
Contributing causes for the lower
butter quotations were indefinite flu
lures, free offerings of suitable stock
from Canada and the prospects of get
ting in New Zealand butter the high
quality of which is well established on
this market, beginning next month.
Heavy Shipping to Alaska was res
nonsible for the strength of the egg
market during the week, Eastern
Washington and Idaho being quoted
at Sc cents and Sound at 65 and 81
cents.
The stock market was dull, hogs
being 81 lower on the 1871 head offer
ed. Best bids for prime stock were at

portion.

answer the question, "Does advertis-
ing pay?" He considers both kinds in
lump sum. Invariably the answer is,
advertising does not pay.
The same consideration should be
given the advertising department of
the local newspaper that is given to
any other legitimate business. A
great many people give their adver-
Using to the paper as they give aims
to the poor-as a charitable PROPOSE
ton. These people do not care
whether their ads have attention or
not. Their idea is that it is Just SO
much thrown away anyway and that
they can't be bothered with it. They
are passing up one of the best in
vestments in business. It has been
proved by advertising experts that
ads written right right and set up
right reach the people, and big bust
ness firms are paying advertising
writers as high as $4,000 a year to
handle their advertising.
If you want your advertising 10
pay. follow the example of these men
by giving your advertising a little
personal attention, get away from the
idea that the advertising in the local
paper is a contribution to a good
cause, and watch your results. There
is nothing to them. They will come
faster than you have any idea. Save
the money that you have formerly
put into programs, menus, booklets.
and what-not, and put it into legiti-
mate advertising that counts. Then
at the end of the year you will he
surprised at the saving you have made
and the results you have secured. You
will also be surprised at the advance
that the paper will make as an asset
to the community.

ADVERTISING JUST WHAT
BUSINESS MEN MAKE 1T

Does advertising pay? That ques-
ton is asked by business men about as
much as any other which comes up
concerning business, says the Durango
(Colo.) EveningHerald. The answer
is qualified. Advertising does pay
and it doesn't. Into those two classes
advertising may be divided.
The business man has habit of
buying both kinds of advertising, the
enc because it is a business investment
and essential to the increase of his
volume of business, the other because
he wants to help some fellow out who
has advertising to sell. But the bust
ness man does not consider both
kinds separately in summing up to
