A NEW DEAL

With this issue the old Chronicle goes out of
business and the CARBON COUNTY NEWS is es-
tablished III its place. In taking over the manage
ment of this paper, we found many complications
to overcome, but in order to avoid confusion and
for our own convenience as we'll, we delayed
changing the name of the paper until this issue.
With the last issue we finished publication of leg
ais, which necessitated our retaining the old
name.
The NEWS is here to stay and it is our desire
to give new deal all around. We shall endeavor
to follow policy of boosting all business and So
cal enterprises, which are of benefit to the PEG
pie The Manager, with his family has taken
apartments, and we are part of the community
we want to help build up this community and we
want your support while we are doing our part
We have confidence in Red Lodge, Carbon county
and Montana, and we are going to boost it, If we
have your support. We believe in home industries
and trading at home. In return we believe we
should have your moral and financial support
we assure you it will We appreciated Gice us a
chance to serve you and help you, and in so doing
you will be helping us and your selves, for the
town newspaper is one of the important institu-
tutlons of the communicative residents of the
have it in their power to make it success or fail
and those who possess the necessary amount of
civic pride and love of their own home town, are
the ones who are going to determine whether we
shall have city or small town. Again we solicit
your business support, your friendliness and good
will. This is the symbol OF progress for any COM
munity, and we hope we shall receive our share of
it, so that we can travel with you the road to pros
verify.

DOES TT PAY?

Does it pay to advertise? We are reliably in
formed that more than $4,000 per month is sent
out OF Red Lodge to mail order houses thru the
local Postoffce to eastern advertisers say
nothing about the trade which goes to Billings
Butte and Helena.
How do these mail order houses, and out of,
town business firms, get the business? BY detail
ed advertising not by sp-shod methods but by
carefully prepared ads describing the article for
SALE and the price it will cost the prospective pur
chaser laid down in the postoffice Mail order
houses do this by placing a catalog in the hands
OF the potential customer. We do not expect the
local merchant to do this, but the local merchant
can stop this constant stream of money going out
of town, by carefully prepared ads each week in
the local papers. People like to know something
about what an article is going to cost before they
go into store. They may think they cannot af-
ford TO buy coat hat, suit or perhaps some lit
tie luxury to eat, case of groceries or new furn-
ture, but If these are advertised they know what
they will have to pay and where to look for them.
The merchant who hasn't time to prepare such
an ad has either too much business or has not the
desire to increase what he has The subscription
contest recently held by the Chronicle gave this
paper the largest paid-for circulation of any pa
per IN Carbon county, making the NEWS the best
advertising medium in this section
Our advertising space is for sale-first to the
local merchants, if they want it. If they don't
want It, then we will be driven to sell it to outside
advertisers and increase the mail order yusiness.
which IS already taking an unbelievable amount
away from your community We must sell adj
Vertlslng space and we are going to do it.
