TWO SIDES.

There are two sides to every
question. This is just as true
in advertising as in argument.
II advertising there is the side
of the advertiser and the side
OF the public.
From the viewpoint of the ad
vertiser in the newspaper, adj
vertising is a means of increas-
ing his volume of bushes. Com
nercial, development has made
advertising as necessary to re-
tail business as customers.
Without customers the adver-
tiser could not remain in busin-
ess, so he advertises to attract
customers.
The other side of the question
is that Of the public. To the pub
lie newspaper advertising
means the bringing of the store
show cases to the Office and liv-
ing room. 1t is a service extend
ed to the public by the adver-
tiser, because it aids the GUS
toner in ascertaining where
that which is wanted can be
purchased at the most advan-
tageous price. Newspaper adj
vertising has abolished shop
searching. To save time for the
shopper lengthens his day.
So although there, are two
sides to newspaper advertising,
there is no disagreement be-
tween the two. Finding that adj
vertising serves the public as
well as business the merchant
has two reasons instead. of one
for advertising, and the custo-
naer learns that the most pro-
gressive merchants are the
most extensive advertisers, so
there is a double attraction. By
the nature of business, if adver
Using didn't help the buying
public it could not help the adj
vertiser.

NOT SO CRAZY AFTER ALL

Letters and appeals pour in
from all kinds of people to per-
sons in high positions. Accord
ing to the private secretary of
the governor of certain State,
the ''morgue" (ofice files) of
his chief contained a letter
from an inmate of certain in
sane asylum. The writer asked
the governor to use his influ-
ence to compel all automobiles
to be equipped with speed con-
trolls.
If that fellow is crazy there
is something wrong with the
rest OF us. The first thing that
governor ought to do is see that
that man is released and get
him a job as engineer in an
automobile factory. In fact the
adoption of the suggestion is
not far off. Speedometers are
usually too far to the right of
the driver to be of practical use
for constant watching. When
one is trying to keep just with
IN the speed limit it is annoy-
ing, even dangerous, to keep

which had been lately opened
for BUSINESS:
"Bill Jones, we welcome you

expressions of good will are a

than it cost. Blank was a boost

might be called a case Of con-
