koppers Loses 4 Houses by Fire

Four large houses of the Nc
Dowell block at that camp were
totally destroyed by fire early
Sunday morning. They were
occdpied by six families. Origin
of the flames was not known.
The Times had a man on the
scene by daylight but all that
could be learned is contained in
the above paragraph. Evidently
the fire caught everyone off
guard, or rather asleep, and no
one knew exactly how it began.
The camp has no fire appara-
rus. The Keystone fire depart
was called and It's work in the
fire doubtless saved three other
houses from being burned, as it
was fifth house had the paint
50 bhStcrcd that it ran down the
side exposed to the heat. There
was no wind at the time and an
icy ram was falling when the
lines representative arrived on
the scene. -,.
This fire is unusual i'm that at
this time of the year few miners
have a fire burning at 400 am.
on Sunday No estimate has yet
been placed on the loss, but all |
families concerned suffered al
loss OF varying degree. They
nave been taken care of and are
hcuSed-in fact officials had theI
homeless folks housed almost
before daylight. Mr.. Dillon was
seen watching the ruins Sunday
to see that the fire stayed down.

tai fact 1t is going to have to in
crease the consumption OF cotton in
order to continue to exist.
And advertising is the answer.
Mark our words. When a CON-
prehensive campaign Is conducted OH

sumption of this product is going to
grow by leaps and bounds. Markets
that have been taken away from
! cotton will be regained. New mar

Witness what planned advertising
did for tomato juice, oranges and
the ice manufacturers.
The public has long since learned
that the people who advertise have
something to sell and what's more
they have learned the first rule of
craftsmanship: ADVERTISING. The
man who does not advertise Is not
sure Of his wares. That's almost an
lnIallMOle rule.
The same thing applies to indivi-
dual communities. When you see
town humming, lots of people on
the streets. buying and selling going
on. it's not because business is good
or bad If you examine the causes
you'll find behind this activity a
group of wide awake business men and
merchants, men who make their
stores good places to trade because
they handle good merchandise at
reasonable prices, because they con-
slider their customers friends and
treat them as such. because they tell
the world through planned advertis-
ing what they have to offer and
encourage the public to buy what
they have. They make spending
money in their store a pleasure.
It's only incidental that most plan
ned advertisig takes the form OF
newspaper advertising.
There is no medium that gives bet
ter results than the small town news
paper because there Is no other me-
dunn that commands as much at
tention and respect.
