inducements that make II worth the
while of the buyer. Common sense
suggests that a little more intensive
effort TO take care of the trade within
their present territory will yield far
greater returns than this journey In.
to the wilderness and far afeld.
The scheme referred to above Is
magazine advertising proposition con-
templated to be launched in the fall.
The idea is TO prepare a pictorial
magazine, to be issued once month.
which will contain an abundance OF
high class pictures and reading mat
ter. and a super-abundance OF local
advertisements, the magazine to be
circulated free, not only locally, but
in the surrounding counties.
II is hard to explain why, yet the
fact is that most people pay little or
no attention to advertising which they
receive free, while they do read
and act upon advertising TO be found
in publications which they have will
ingly paid price for In order to read.
There is stability and class TO paid
advertising in publications paid for by
the reader that engenders confidence
and invites and secures trade. No
free publication ever issued has made
or can make this kind OF an appeal.
II Is also a curious thing that mer-
chants who complain most loudly
about alleged high rates OF advertising
in the local dailies and the Twin
City Review, II they take part In this
new enterprise, will pay much more
per thousand circulation for each inch
OF advertising than they now do In
the existing periodicals, whose sub
scribers pay for the papers they get.
Another feature that naturally In
terests all union men In this vicinity
is that the new magazine Will be pub.
lished in non-union shop. all offers
to have the work done In union print
ing offices having been rejected. How
union men can be expected to re.
gard a publication issued under such
conditions Is not hard to foresee. That
they will behave as normal human be-
ings -under such circumstances Is to
be expected That the net result Ia
bound TO be an intense disappoint-
ment aud heavy expense to those
engaging In II, Is as sure as death
and taxes.

BEWARE0F
QUESTIONABLE
ADVERTISING

We are disposed to compliment
some OF the progressive merchants Of
Champaign for their ambitions to
reach out and bring trade to Cham
paign from districts from which at
present they are receiving little or
no business. The object is certainly
a laudable one, and every well wisher
of business prosperity in the Twin
Cities sympathizes with this desire.
One is reminded, however. that the
grass always looks greener in the
next pasturage, and that many fool
ass has broken his neck, or hamstrung
himself, in an effort to get out into
the wild, while his own pasture lot
is filled with the most succulent of
foods in abundance.
II Is well enough to reach out after
additional territory. bat the time to do
this Is after ones own trading terri
tory is so consolidated that none OF
the good hay on our own pasture land
is being taken away by slickers, who
perfected and inaugurated the mall
order device before our boys were dry
behind the ears.
The volume of trade daily going out
of this county to Chicago and else
where. which is obtainable for the
local merchants, il they care to make
their offerings attractive TO those who
buy, is sufficient to make the Twin
City business men the most prosper
Gus of any community of its size IN
the world. II 1t Is trade these mer-
chants are looking for, they can find

case in the right way. and offer selling
