The sugar markets continued dnll
and without feature yesterday. With
no further price changes. The under
tone tone was steady, possibly because Of
the eXtention of the Cuban morator-
ium. The possibility of consumma-
tlon OF loan negotiations also helned
steady conditions. Cuban support in
the futures market caused an upturn

Opposes Lower Tariff

TORONTO, Dec 1-Reduction of the

fore the Dominion Tariff Commission.
Urging higher import duties as a
protection for Canadian manufacture

Home Town Feeling.

During the war people learned
to cooperate, and they accom-
plished things that anyone would
have said were impossible.
Having learned what can be
accomplished by cooperation. alert
minded people naturally turn to
their home towns.
If we accomplished such marvels
in the war work." they say, why
can't we take hold now and do
equally amazing things right at
home? Why can't we realize the
dreams we have always cherished
for our community" And then
lot of them just 60 right ahead
and do things that FIVE years ago
would have been regarded as be-
yond the range of possibility.
Here in Denison equally won
derful things could be accomplish
ed if people only thought so and
would take hold and work togeth-
er. And if the people do not ac-
quire this home town feeling and
act on it, other towns that have
gained it will take the lead in the
building of community life on q
higher plane.-Review, Denison,
Iowa.

A Midsummer Tale.

1t used to be an old-time joke
that some people were so fond of
newspapers that they even read
the advertisements. That might
have been a humorous remark
years ago. At that period some
merchants would run an advertise
ment for a whole year unchanged.
Clothing dealers would start in ad-
vertising January first with a
notice of overcoats for sale, and
keep it running in July.
Today the people read the adj
vertising as a matter of business.
The women read it just as a farm
er reads wheat and pork prices or
as banker reads the financial re-
ports. They thereby get ideas as
to how they can save on household
or personal expenses. Probably a
majority of the women turn first
The Jasper news. [volume] (Jasper, Missouri) 1898-1924, 1920-08-19

to the advertising Of their favorite
merchants, and read the news
later.
The men also read the advertis-
ing carefully. Even il they have
no business enterprise Of their own,
they are interested in the advertis-
ing as a reflection Of the business
life of the town.
Hence it is perhaps unnecessary
to suggest to the readers of King
Jack that its advertising columns
are worthy of the most careful at
tention. Still it is worth while to
say that there is no time when adj
vertising is worth such careful at
tention as at this season Of the
year. All kinds of merchants have
the proposition before them in
cleaning out their winter and
spring stocks before the heated
term arrives. That requires pub
licity. The goods will not move
themselves. The public must be
told about them in detail.
The story Of what is happening
in the stores of the district will be
found in the advertising columns
of this newspaper. Most Of the
readers are seeing it, and it will
repay their scrutiny.-King Jack,
Commerce, Okla.

Advertise Consistently or Soon Be
Forgotten

E0TAoNten
There is world of truth in that
old saying Out of sight, out of
mind" and particularly so in adj
vertising.
Who nowadays remembers ,ex-
cept vaguely, the once famous
names of phoebe Snow" Sunny
Jim," or "Sanftas Toasted Corn
Flakes? Yet a few years ago
through persistent national adver-
Using, those names were as famil-
iarly known as Goodyear Tires and
Post Toasties are today.
And it is much the same in your
business and with your advertis-
ing. A steady, consistent, and
forceful advertiser, advertising
wisely and regularly, need never
have any fears of being unknown
in his community, nor need he fear
competition to any extent. ad-
vertising will batter down the bar
riers of sales resistance and increase
the volume of business.
1t is poor policy to advertise
spasmodically, using large space
once in a great while, and then for
getting your advertising for a
stretch of months.
