ened competition in the bituminous

ADVERTISE IN
HOME PAPER

Many country town business men
feel rather sore about the amount of
trade which in many places leaves
the home stores and goes to more or
less distant cities. Yet if they would
use the same principles of advertis-
ing as the result of which these big
city stores develop a great trade,
they would go elsewhere for a lot of
stuff. Human nature is about the
same everywhere. If the big city
stores have gone on to their wealth
and marvellous expansion through
advertising, it is likely that advertis-
ing will fail to help the country
town merchant: If the people of a
town or neighborhood are failing to
support the home stores as they
should, the trouble is likely to be
with the merchants as with the peo-
pie. Very likely some of them are
not showing the enterprise they
ought to in the matter of advertising.
Every page and column of the
home newspaper is thoroughly
scanned. People do not want to miss
a single thing that has happened in

the advertisement of store it won't

so that perhaps it would be fairer
to consider Omaha with its 284 tele-

Next to Omaha comes Pasadena,

Lincoln, Nebr., has 262, and San

Chicago ranks thirteenth with 23S

Boston is in twenty-fourth place
with 222, and New York City, de-
spite the fact that 1t has more tele-
phones than Berlin, London, Paris,
Liverpool, Rome, Antwerp, Brussels
and Shanghai combined, ranks in
forty-third place.
Atlantic City also has the distinc-
ton of having eight public pay tele- {
