DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Months "Nick Carter

Record Breaking.

Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king of the 'paperbacks"
has made a record-breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply Of Nick Carter

His return to fame was unexpected.
# was not the result of an advertis-
ing campaign. for the publishers Of
the paper-bound books do not adver-
tise. They depend instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
in the back pages Of each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the ''paperback' tribe TO
return. All the old favoriles-Laura

Evans-have "come back" surpris-
Ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production OF cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
" from the screen than from the print
ed page-and the price was the same.
Publishers of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether 4 new class OF readers has
arisen. OF one thing they are certain,
though. the demand for the 10 and To-
cent book has increased fourfold. II

not to % out with prohibition. They

better than community drama and

Miss MacKaye feels that the war

interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama a great deal in

and we'll known to all old resi-
dents of this (Navajo) county:
The total population for the

the decline and fall of Tubac,

Why Money Goes to
the Mail Order Houses

During the first two months of
this year a large mail order
house in Chicago did a business
of $77, 100000 more than for the
same time last year-an increase
of over 81 per cent.
Considerable of this money
goes from Arizona and the local
merchants keep saying: Spend
your money at home.
Let us analyze this. Shoes
that sell here for $14 cost only
$3.50 through the mail order
houses. If bought of the local
merchant he would send the
$3.50 away instead Of you, so
that part is even. But the diff
ference between $3.50 and $14
is $3.50 which remains in your
pocket to be spent at the coast
resorts this summer instead of
sending the merchant and his
family.
When the local merchants be-
long to a trust and undertake to
run the city it is time to curb
their action.
All things being equal, we are
in favor of patronizing home in
dustry but after buying some
twenty suits of clothes from a
firm that does not even subscribe
for our newspaper, we, too, be-
come democrats and buy to best
advantage. The fair merchant
should be as free to give as he
is to receive. He should tote
fair with his patrons. Phoenix
Messenger.
Just to show 'how they can
afford to do it, = northern Ari-
zona firm in a town on the Santa
Fe railway line is advertising a
shoe sale in one of its local pa
pers, quoting the regular and
sale prices in the ad. For in
stance, their SIT shoes are go
ing" at $12.35; $12 shoes at
$5.98; So shoes at $4.25, and
so on.
This goes to show that merch-
ants nowadays get a pretty
fair" per cent on shoes.
