WHERE TO TRADE


"I'd rather trade with an up-to-
date, enterprising merchant than q
conservative back-number any time,''
a friend Of ours observed the other
day.
"You usually get a better deal
you get up-to-date merchandise-you
get more careful service" he elabor-
ated. We have given the matter some
thought and have concluded that he is
right and that there is a reason for
this observation.
The enterprising merchant can Of
fer better values. because he keeps his
capital at work. He can offer up-to-
date merchandise because he does not
carry stock ove from season to seas
on. He is out for business and there
fore must give better service to get
it.
Incidentally, he finds that advertis-
ing fits directly into his scheme Of OPP
erations. It is the one medium by
which he can tell the public about what
he has to offer.

DAME RUMOR
IS NOT RELIABLE

Maybe you have heard other va
riations of this story but all of
them serve to illustrate a point.
1t seems that the report spread
that Jones has made $4,000 in a
stock market transaction. Investi-
cation proved that this was correct
except for a few minor details.
1t wasn't Jones who won it, it
was Smith. 1t wasn't in the stock
market but was a real estate deal.
1t wasn't $4,000 but $4,000. He
didn't win it he lost it..
And this is the way with rumor.
The boys in the army had a term
for it. Other rough and ready citi-
zens have equally effective terms
that are not exactly suitable for
publication. But rumors stories
fantastic products of mere imagin-
alton go through Coulee City
from time to time. If we were to
make an effort to consider all these
seriously we would spend most of
out time following trails that lead
nowhere.
1t is said that in time Of nation
al stress the press is a stabilizing
Influence. Without some source of
authentic information the people
would be whipped into dangerous
panic by the flood of rumors
Newspapers, to be sure, do make
mistakes. But contrast the few er-
rors which do appear in print with
the gross libel, the malicious Sian
der, and the abundance of misin-
formation, even harmless, that can
be charged to dame rumor.
And when we consider this prev
alence of rumor, some Of it started
with malice aforethought and some
Of it quite innocent in purpose, we
feel that there is q positive need
for a newspaper in any community.
