What Causes StagnatiOn.

People .who go back to towns
where they once lived are some
times surprised to see how much
they look as they used to. An in
terval of five, ten or twenty years
may have elapsed, and perhaps
scarcely a new building has been
nut I'D. The same seedy and sta
tionary air seems to hang over the
whole community that existed at
previous period
This is not the characteristic of
ordinary American cities and towns
in this hustling age. When it ex-
lists. there must be some reason for
it. In many cases it will be found
that this reason has been the failure
of that community to advertise.
If you were to examine the indi-
vidual standing of the merchants of
such a place, you would find cases of
men who had had to curtail their
business. They had once had a
good trade, but it had drifted away
in large measure. They had to oc-
cupy less space or get along with
fewer clerks or none at all.
Probably these merchants at one
time had good trade which seemed
| to them permanent fixture. Ihey
figured that their goods were well
known to a large group of people
: and that these people had formed
the fixed habit of coming to thell
| store, and would continue to do so
whether or not the business did any
! advertising. That might work fol
a short time, but they failed tc
! reckon on the change of population
] that is constantly going on.
Some of the old-time patrons OF
I store are always dying or removing
elsewhere. or changing their minds
as to the best place to buy goods. A
business must keep making new
friends, or it will fail to fill up the
gaps that inevitably occur. Also,
| old-time residents want their stores
| to keep up with the times.-Ex'
| change.

of reconstruction? If there is such
an industry, it may perhaps be farm
ing. This being true, are not our
fisheries and the lobster industry
worth protection? This industry
furnishes a means of livelihood to
approximately 1000 persons, who
would be idle if they could not de-
pend on the fisheries to support their
families through the period of bust
ness renovation.
Brother fishermen, the commission
is doing all in it's power for your pro-
lection. and is trying to make it pos
sible for you to lay by enough to en-
joy life in your old age. The State
purchases all the egg Holsters from
you at the market price and liberates
them for your protection. and II the
! Holsters are protected and the Maine
measure strictly observed, there is
no question about the Holsters in
creasing. 1t has been demonstrated
beyond doubt in the past two years
that they will increase in numbers If
the law is strictly observed.
At present there are approximately
1000 lobster fishermen on the coast
of Maine. If each fisherman carried
home for his family twelve snort
Holsters per week in year, he would
take home 624. and the whole four
thousand fishermen would take home
2,596,O0O short Holsters. If these
were allowed to grow to legal size
they would weigh at least one and
one-quarter pounds each, or 3,24O,-
600 pounds, and if sold for thirty
cents per pound, would net the fisher
men $4,000 or 1858 for each fish
erman. Brother fishermen, you can
not afford to do it. The commission
will do everything it can, but that
will be very little without your help.
Now, it is up to you, fishermen, II
you want to improve your business.
Cooperation is the key to the whole
situation. We must work together,
with just one thought in mind, and
that, to build larger, more
profitable and better industry.
