BUSINESS here
FOR CHRISTMAS
BREAKS RECORD.

The business district of Douglas
closed it's doors late on Christmas eve
following the largest days business
many OF them had ever experienced.
This report comes from sthtemenits
made by the proprietors of several of
the more important firms just befofe
the closing hour. All the stores of the
city will be closed all day today and
Sunday, which will mean two-day
vacation period for the greater portion
of the sales people of the city The
Western Union offices will observe
their regular holiday hours and the
drug stores of the city will be open
only until noon, but will resume BUSH
ness on Sunday as usual, with the aft
erroon off, as is their custom.
That Christmas shopping in this
community reached a volume never
before experienced was the opinion
brought out after interviews with
business men throughout the shopping
district, and for those persons whose
investments here are in goods appro-
pirate for Christmas this season will
be merry one indeed. The greater
proportion of all the business done was
cash business, and this, the mer
chants agree, is an unusual thing at
this season of the year and indicates al
growing prosperity and confidence.

PRICE ON BEER
in GERMANY TO
BE RAISED SOON

BERLIN, Dec. "a (R-All Germany
will be drinking more solemnly to
the health of the Dawes plan after
New Years, when the price OF the
country's famous beverage will prob
ably be boosted per cent. The tax
on beer is one of the controlled
revenues to guarantee reparations
payments. Breweries have given
notice that the price will be in
creased accordingly.
Some members of the government,
fearing a further decline in beer
drinking, insist that the brewing
companies, which with few exceptions
are paying dividends of from 10 to
20 per cent, can stand the tax boost
without increasing the price. The
cost of pint stein at present is
about Is cents.

BUSINESS MEN THE GOATS
FOR THE FAKE ADV. MEN

The Arizona Republican and H. B.
Watkins Of the Phoenix Chamber of
Commerce have this to say of fake
advertising schemes:
In the firm belief that out of the
flame there always emerges the sub
stantial article and only the tarnished
things are left in the ashes, members
OF the Phoenix chamber of commerce
yesterday fired the opening gun in
the campaign against illegitimate and
contraband advertising.
Those who canvass the city for the
purpose of soliciting funds for unpro-
ductive and fake advertising are go
ing to find it a veritable battle
ground of truth, members state. I'm
der plans initiated by the chamber of
commerce, merchants and business
men of the city are to know the good
from the bad. Like every other en-
terprise which either at it's incipiency
or maturity must face The acid test,
so do members of the chamber of
commerce believe that few of the
The Coconino sun., 1926-01-22

only five or ten dollars and thought
it good policy to kick in" This is
only a form of encouraging unpro-
ductive and in many instances, fake
advertising.
We could go on for quite some time,
naming specific instances of fake or
unproductive advertisements. Not so
long ago we had in our office two
receipts aggregating 5000 from two
merchants, with the birds flown the
coop" "a hours afterwards without
even pretending to carry out any Of
their promises.
With these cases pertinentlyi in
mind, the Phoenix chamber Of COM
merce has appointed a vigilance com
mittee, no member of which is inter-
ested in soliciting any advertising in
the Salt River valley, but they are
men who know thoroughly advertising
and can diagnose any advertising
plan or scheme. The business men
and merchants Of the Salt River val
ley are urged by the chamber of
to use this organization as
a buffer and any advertising plan or
scheme that is brought to them will
be honestly, conscientiously and very
diagnosed if they will in
The Coconino sun., 1926-01-22

schemes which have proved success
full in bilking business men viii sur
vive an investigation.
Under plans inaugurated fake" adj
vertising is to be eliminated and a
policy Of guidance adopted for the
business man and merchant which
will have business doctrines and prin-
ciples as its base. In the accompany
ing article an outline is given of the
chamber Of commerce plan.
H. B. Watkins, general manager
Phoenix chamber, of commerce, says:
If the business men. Of Phoenix and
the Salt River valley had solennly
raised their right hands and referred
certain individuals to the mercies Of
the mortuary profession during the
year of 1925, they would have saved
more than twice enough money to fl
nance the chamber Of commerce and
the community chest
Experts, Mr.. Merchant and Mr..
Business Man, unanimously agree
that there are three kinds of adver-
tising today productive, -non-produc-
tive and fake.
A prominent merchant from the
east came in the chamber of COM
merce the other day and after being
The Coconino sun., 1926-01-22

questioned, said his hobby was adver-
tising-that he had been a merchant
and a successful one-that he was in
terested in all kinds of advertising,
but that driving from the east to
Phoenix, and having driven around
the valley, he was not influenced to
stop at a single hotel, to eat at any
restaurant or cafe, or to purchase
anything through any of the numer-
Gus advertisements placed in the ga
RACES, so-called tourist guide books or
any group advertising along the road
side on cheap, unattractive, faded
out, so-called billboards.
In the past year, business men and
merchants have been played one
against the other for every conceiv-
able graft, under the guise of adver-
tising. There have been arrests made
of crooks, operating confidence games
and there have been other crooks who
have flourished in the valley with no
charges made against them. There
have been schemes called advertising,
securing, for instance, advertising
from different camp grounds, to be
placed in an album or several al
buns, which it was stated would be
placed in prominent places. The
The Coconino sun., 1926-01-22

chamber of commerce traced down
one of these in which its name was
being used. Fully two dozen men
have come to the chamber of COM
merce with dummies involving all
kinds of schemes in which the mer-
chant and business man was to be the
goat. One drug store against the
other-one shoe store against the
other-and down the line. We have
had it called to our attention that in
many instances when group of peo-
pie get together in the valley to raise
money for some particular plan, the
first thing they think of is pro-
gram which entails so-called adver-
tising by the merchants, and this IS
growing to such an extent that the
business men say it must be fore
stalled. One prominent business man
of Phoenix told us that one of the
so-called solicitors came to him and
told him they were giving him the
first chance against his competitors.
He told them flatly if all his COM
petitors took 10 pages each, he didn't
want any. We have checked this
statement and found this merchants
statements to be truthful Other mer-
chants have told us, well, it was

NEW JERSEY MAN FINDS
FOOT PRINTS OF ANCIENT
FISH AT GRAND CANYON

Princeton, N. J.-Footprints, be-

vertebrate, described as race of ami
mails that evolved directly from the

Canyon recently by r. Milton Fulle of

Tor class at Princeton. Plaster casts
Of the footprints were made and are

Fulle came upon the footprints Just

yon, where he spent three days with
DR.. r. NJ. Field of the geological de-
partment. The footprints are thought
to be those Of an ancestor of the frog
or salamander, and not distant rela-
tive of the dawn fish," traces of
which recently were discovered by DR..
Howell Of the Princeton faculty.

sist, before putting their name on the
dotted line, that the author of the
same refer it to the chamber of com
merce.
1T is our plan to let the business
men and merchants know who the
people are and whether or not their
proposition has stood the acid test.
We hope every merchant, no matter
where in the valley, will absolutely
insist that any advertising proposition
be first presented to the chamber OF
commerce of inspection"
Our press, both daily and weekly,
throughout the valley is rendering a
splendid service to this community
and is a legitimate means of adver-
tising.
Let's step on the CRATER who pays
US a transient visit, takes our money
and leaves without saying goodbye.
This is one way to decide between
dead or alive advertising.
