D;d you ever go into a town and, have it strike you suddenly that the town was dead? Have you ever had a town described to you as a "dead" town? Have you ever, stopped to analyze just what is meant by these words "dead town?" In the last anal ysis they mean just one thing and that is that the merchants of the town don't advertise. A dead town has certain positive aspects of demise which are as bald as a piece of crepe hanging on the door of a private house. The stores seem to be merely ex isting. Their shelves are cover ed with apparently unsalable goods. The storekeepers seem to be ving with each other to see which will win th first prize as the town grouch. If you talk ed with them they knocked the town, they knocked business, they knocked the mail order house. They were continually complaining that other people did business and made money but that they didn't seem to be able to sell anything. . They guessed it was the town. Yes, that was it, the town. If you asked that merchant if he advertised, he would have looked at you with amazement What was the use of advertising when business is so bad? People who had money to spend, he would tell you -were sending it to the mail order hous es. JNo, he would say he didn t advertise? He wouldn't throw pood money after bad. On the other hand, go into a live town and what will you see? The mer hants have attractive displays n their stores. The daily and weekly newspapers are filled up with big announcements of spe cial sales or low priced goods. hey are not afraid of the mail order houses because they have the same means to reach the peo pleadvertising that makes the mail order house great The merchants have their local asso ciation for mutual help, and be hind the association the local newspaper l s pushing-pushing pushing. Lverybody is workincr and everybody is happy and is boosting. If you want a hve town get begind the newspaper and the newspaper will do the rest Forget the timeworn argu ments that the paper is a dead one. 1 he paper is alive enoueh f the people are alive. The sur est test of a live town is a live newspaper, and a newspaper can t be alive unless the town boosters do their share. m in- ! 2 SH V ' w L Sift 'jll give to the children, s, don't forget that the ount in the FULTON for them you will be $l.oo will start an d we pay1 3 per cent, compounded every six months.
