WHY THEY FAILED

Business men should be interested
in a report sent out by the govern
roent showing the per centage OF
failure and their causes during lSZo.
Of course it forms rather dishearten-
ing reading, this story OF the otner
fellows misfortune, but it carries a
lesson of value and one that deserves
careful study.
The high spot in the report is that
of the entire number OF concerns
which failed in the United States in
a single year, more than 80 per cent
OF them-think of that-more than
90 per cent Of them were establish
naents that did not advertise. II there
was ever an argument in favor OF
using printers ink in a judicial way
your Uncle Sam has presented II
through this report.
We presume that in most instances
these unsuccessful concerns did mo-
advertise because they we're satisfied
to drag along. Then came the read
justment period and they found tina
I. the very thing which was putting ther
competitors over the bumps-adver
tising-had been the one thing the.
had ignored. The merchants who use
printer's ink got rid Of war-price
stock at even money or better, an
were able to stay on their feet. Tn

Ginning in value daily and didn't hav
brains enough to use the papers t
tell the people that he wanted to g

90 per cent who are now sadder br
wiser in the ways Of the bushes
vorld.
II you want the best reason in Il
world why you should advertise jud

YOUR HOME TOWN

We've never been able to diagnose
his case properly, or tell exactly what
Is the matter with him, but there is
something radically wrong with the
man who dosen't care for the town he
was born in, and who dosen't go back
to it occasionally with feeling Of joy
The man who boasts that all places
are alike to him and that any place
where he hangs his hat is home, misses
one Of the first and best incentives to
decency and duty-which is the de-
sire to win the general esteem and
God opinion Of the community in
which he once resided. No reward in
money compares in value with the
golden treasure Of a good repute. II
= man cheats and lies and steals and
bears false witness, he may build up
. greet fortune and still be plagued
Il night with the knowledge that those
about him hold low opinion Of him
and his works. The favorable opinion
Of ones hometown people is always
worth earning and retaining. And
that applies to every man, no matter
how successful he may have been in
business in the outside world.
We like to see a native son return
home with display of joy at being
back. We like to welcome him, aid
after his visit is over, we like to wish
him the best luck in the world as he
journeys on through life. Citizens
generally admire him, and they never
fail TO notice that he is big enough
and manly enough to still retain his
love for the old hometown and its
people. But we actually pity the poor
cuss who Is so narrow as to lose in
tersst in the place of his boyhood days
