DOES IT REALLY PAY A MER-
CHANT TO ADVERTISE IN
THE NEWSPAPER.
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.

Thousands’ of dollars’ worth of free

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.

on having proficient clerks in his em-

At one examination one of the

A certain bright youth was a little
puzzled at this, but was not to be
