ON NATIONAL ADVERTISING

THIS editorial is addressed to the
i merchants of Kennewick but since
it concerns one important aspect OF
the business of our country, it should
be of interest to all of our readers
Advertising is one of the great bus
mess forces in our country. 1t is esti
mated that the association of adver-
Using agencies spends well over ST.
OO0, 100000 in advertising every year.
This huge sum is spent by manufac-
turers who seek to tell the public of
the good points of the merchandise
they produce.
A very large portion Of this should
come right into communities like
Kennewick through the columns Of
local papers such as the Courier-Re-
porter. It would get directly to the
buying public. It would make bust
ness better for all of us.
But unfortunately the major por-
ton of this huge sum goes to buy
space in national magazines - all be-
cause merchants do not demand local
advertising.
The manufacturer iDr distributor
wants to get his goods on the local
merchants shelves. In urging you to
stock new line, he will say. "See
here. Look at the advertising We are
putting into the Saturday Evening
Post, the American Magazine and
other big magazines. We're doing that
to help you sell the goods"
Our local merchants should an
swer: "That's all very well. But the
advertising that really helps me is
the advertising you put here in the

POPULAR OWNERSHIP

A BOUT decade ago so-called re-
"A form wave swept over the coun-
try. Big business came in for terrific
attack. Magazines were filled with
articles exposing unfair, question
able, and downright dishonest meth
DDS then in practice.
And large portion of the public
began to believe that radical changes
should be made in the business struc-
ture of the country. Public ownership
of the railroads, and government own.
ership and operation of all basic in
dustries was advocated as the remedy
for all the economic ills of the times,
But much water has gone under
the bridge since then. Experiments
| in government ownership have not
always been rewarded with success.
People have come to believe that sud-
den and radical changes may not al
ways be best.
Nevertheless great change has
come about, just the same. Former
secretary Houston pointed out in a
magazine article recently that we
have substituted popular for the pro-
posed public ownership of basic in
dustries. During the past few years
people have been buying securities
in public utilities. Laborers have been
buying stock in the companies for
which they work. As result most
great business institutions are now
owned by hundreds and thousands of
small stock and security holders.
This silent revolution or evolution,
is better than an adoption of the
changes advocated by theorists would
be. The abuses of the old system are
being stopped. The benefits retained.
We maintain the efficiency that goes
only with private ownership, and take
out of the hands of few men, the
power that goes with ownership of
great business institutions.
This change is strictly, in accord
ance with the traditions of our coun-
try. Public ownership gives the gov
eminent too much power over the
lives, welfare, and activity Of our cit
liens. Public ownership is apt to be-
come beaurocratic, while popular own
ership is democratic.

FAILURES


GREAT successes are often built
" on small failures.
Frederick the Great, one Of the
most able generals in all history, got
on horse and fled from the scene
of his first battle.
Jack London, famous author, had
six feet of rejected manuscript piled
up before he sold his first story to
a publisher.
And so too the great captains of
industry and masters Of statecraft
of our own time encountered many
discouraging failures before they
were we'll started on the way of sue
cess.
But they eventually succeeded be-
cause they didn't give up after the
first failure. They stuck everlastingly
at the job, adhered firmly to their
ideas and ideals, fought only harder
in the face of adversely, and time
brot to them the fame and honor that
their courage merited.
To any young man discouraged ov-
er first failure we say: "Read the
life story of a successful man. Then
buck up, jump into the fight, and
your life too may some day be a
source of inspiration to others strug-
Cling to do things in this world"

WRONG NAME

A FARMER in Benton county tells
"A US that some of these cartoons
headed Returning Prosperity" may
be good, but the artists shouldn't label
the fellow making the money Mr..
Farmer. He should be called Mr..
Spectator.

local paper. Only few copies of
these national magazines come into
Kennewick. But the Courier-Reporter
goes into practically every home"
Then the manufacturer would make
change in his advertising policy. If
his salesman heard that from mer-
chants everywhere, it would not be
long before Mr.. National Advertiser
would be placing his advertising right
here in the Kennewick and hundreds
of other local papers.
That would mean more business for
you. More for us. And benefit to
the people in this community by Civ
ing them more information on the
things they have to buy for the home.

The mere cleaning is transient and futile without public commit ment to the new order Of things so that being clothed in the garb of righteousness as t were, and, in its new dress of grass, or shrub bery, thrift garden. or paint. the place will so inspire the respect of everybody that it will not be per mitted to revert to it's former dis orderliness. That's the basic essen- tial of a real Clean Up and Paint Up campaign for lasting benefit to the community-Anch Times

WRANGELL SCHOOL BOY
 MODERN RIP VAN TWINKLE

The April number of the Stikipe Messenger, very creditable publi- cation issued by the Wrangell high school, contains highly romantic article from a sixth uade pupil, lack Gurr, son of MT and Mrs. A. E. Gurr, formerly of Douglas and Juneau. Jack describes how he was out in the hills from Wrangell and. being overtaken with hunger, ate a number of wild berries. Evidently they were great sleep producers as. after eating them he sank into sleep and awoke 20 years later to find himself six feet tall and with a lux uriant crop of whiskers. Return ing to what had been the town of Wrangell he found a city of over a hundred thousand and in which the leading business men were his schoolmates of 20 years before. On the whole Jacks article indicates a vivid imagination and logical mind -Stroller's Weekly.
