The country newspaper usually has a hard struggle for existence. It may be a live sheet, splendidly edited, but ya lot of the local merchants feel that “everybody knows them” and it is not necessary to advertise, that they would do about the same business anyway. A merchant who has adver- tised will drop out and report his av- erage business just as good. Consid- ered on a “results within the week” basis few merchants get back in in- creased profit what they spend that particular week for advertising. The proprietor of a small newspaper is a busy man. Usually he gathers news, solicits subscriptions and advertising, sets type, makes up on his paper and handles the mailing list and does his own bookkeeping. He seldom has time to stop and explain to a mer- chant the difference between direct and indirect results to be had from advertising. This is the case with Riousands of small weeklies and dai- ies. The merchants referred to in a general way first, above all, fail to ap- preciate what it means to their com- munity to spread the news abroad of its doings, of its achievements and of its opportunities for new settlers. Every new family means at least ! $1,000 yearly spent in that communi- | ty. Every merchant gets his share of I this. In supporting the newspaper by ad- vertising, the merchant encourages enterprise on the part of the publish- er, and the greater the publicity given the growth. The local newspaper is the chamber of commerce and publicity bureau combined. { port of every one, to the end that the | greatest amount of good may be ac- | complished. Thousands’ of dollars’ worth of free i advertising is given every year to the i community by the local newspaper. | Every little thing is boosted, and peo- ple abroad begin to find out what a tine place your town is. Only in advertising can the local newspaper find reward for its effort. pay for the cost of publishing and delivering the paper. In supporting the paper by adver- tising, the merchant is contributing not only to his direct benefit, but to the future of the community. A growing community means an enlarged field of business. The adver- tising you do helps the newspaper to grow and as the town grows your business will grow—if you advertise sufficiently to attract the new settlers to your place of business. A town is usually judged by its ‘newspaper. Make your newspaper a real advertisement and recommend- "ation of your town as a good place to live.—Ex. ' MOON NEVER LIES SAYS THIS PROPHET.
