ADVERTISEMENTS
Must Be Seen and Read
Every advertiser likes to believe that his advertising
will be seen—uwill be read.
But how many readers of a given medium actually
read the ads? How many, for that matter, even 80
much as see them?
Circulation figures, milline rate computations, how-
ever, impressive, do not provide the answers.
The clue is in time. Meaning—the more time the
reader gives to the reading of a publication the great-
er the certainty that he will see the ads—and read
them. : ar
Recently, O. B. Winters, vice-president, Erwin Was-
ey & Co., said: “I know from experience that a good
country weekly is read from cover to cover by literally
evvery one in the community it serves.”
Why? The answer is—time. Country newspaper
readers find the time to read their local papers. They
can be depended upon to see ads—and read them.
People never read a large daily paper as carefully or
as thoroughly as they do a good weekly.
Let us serve you in placing your advertising where
it is read.

Cupid, Marksman

INDA was in the tub thinking of
Jerry when the phone rang. She'd
been thinking of him ever since they'd
met a week before at the last club
dance of the season. And a bang-up
dance It had been, The orchestra, im-
ported from Harlem, had out-cavorted
the dancers, their instruments taking
a terrible beating, During what was
supposed to have been Intermissions
an Italian with a piano-accordion that
prohibited conversation, and a voice
that dimmed the piano-accordion, had
sauntered from table to table singing
old love songs of Italy and new ones
from Broadway.
Steve, good old Steve with the in-
delible frown, the rhythmic feet and
the fog-horn voice, had asked Linda
to the dance. He had also presented
Jerry.
“Want to meet the nicest little job
the stork ever turned out?” he'd
boomed.
Jerry had. And Steve hadn't exag-
gerated. In short Linda was O. K,
ace-high, top-notch, first-rate, And
certainly men like Jerry would always
have a market. He had everything
the advertisements promised. Easily
Jerry and Linda had been the best
looking couple on the floor and he had
stuck to her all during the evening
like ink to a blotter.
Linda, however, whose existence en-
abled the telephone company to pay
steady dividends, had not heard from
him since that night. She found
this disconcerting not because Jerry
was her answer to prayer but because
he'd started her praying.
Now, alone in the apartment, she
had to leave the suds hurriedly,
swathe herself in a towel and make
wet tracks for the shrill phone.
A man’s voice boomed hoarsely over
the wires and Linda's high hopes fell
to the ground. For seven days she'd
snatched up the phone—it might be
the call she’d prayed for. It never
had been.
“Linda he was repeating.
“You sound like King Kong,” Linda
replied, doing her best to sound light-
hearted and carefree. Why, oh why,
couldn't this have been Jerry?
slight cold,” he explained.
“I'll soon be back to the silvery
cadences. I'd have called you sooner
but until today 1 couldn’t speak at all.
‘Teed a cold, however, you know. So
how about having dinner with me?”
“Just a
“That would be awfully nice” Try
as she would Linda couldn’t sound en
thusiastic.
“Any chance for tonight?”
“Tomorrow night,” she said.
“Would it be too much to ask you
to meet me in town?” his voice rasped
Linda lived tucked off in the suburbs
far from jay-walkers and taxi races.
“Where and when?” she asked.
“Martini’'s. At seven. O. K.?”
“0. RK."
Linda’s mother came in as she hung
up the phone.
“For me?’ she asked.
“No. For me. Steve. I'm having
dinner with him in town tomorrow
night.”
Linda's mother repeated what she'd
been saying for some time. “You
could do worse.”
“Much worse,” Linda admitted. *I
could have two meals with him every
day and three on Sunday. No, thank
you. Steve's a lamb, but .
“You don’t appreciate him,” her
mother broke in. “He's a splendid
young man.”
“For somebody else.”
The next evening Linda dressed lacka-
daisically. She didn't wear the new
outfit. She was saving it just In case
the Jerry man had a sudden fit of
memory.
The train ride into the city was a
monotonous trip that was only taking
her to a monotonous evening. The
cross-town cab was an unrestful auto
that was taking her to a restless eve
ping. Linda bleakly visualized the
past seven days. Each day had
grown drearier, heavier. Each day
had taken her that much farther from
Jerry. The possibility of more such
days was ghastly—days when the
sound of the phone buoyed her up only
to cast her down.
“For two cents I'd scream,”
mused. “I'd do it even cheaper.”
At Martini’s she paid off the taxi
driver and walked in under the long.
striped awning. The sort of awning
she
used at weddings, she reflected mo-
rosely. Why had she accepted this
dinner invitation of Steve's? Why
had she forgone the comforts of home
where she could cry into a pillow in
peace instead of having to swallow
Ward lest tears splash into the hors
doeuvres? She was berating herself
when she walked right into his arms.
She blinked rapidly, shook her head
to clear it, but the apparition was not
an apparation. There he was, all six
feet three of him. There flashed the
smile that made her smile back.
There stood the man she'd never real-
ly left since the moment she'd met
him.
y Radiant at seeing her again, he
spoke, still hoarsely.
“How you recognized this battered
voice over the phone is more than I'll
ever know,” grinned. “Television
would be wasted on you, Linda.”
He indicated a charmingly secluded
little table marked, “Reserved.”
do you say?” he asked.
Linda spoke cautiously, as though
holding her breath. Her hand flut-
tered trembllngly at her throat.
“rm like you were before you
phoned me—speechless.”

Here’s The Real
Road Hog—
And He Isn’t Satisfied Yet

HE old-fashioned road hog who
insisted on crowding everybody
else off the highway has been
thoroughly unpopular with motorists
for a long time. However, decent
automobilists sometimes got a break,
for the road hog of that type had a
way of falling afoul of the law every
now and shen, and paying a sharp
penalty for his hoggishness.
But the new road hog has the law
on his side; the statutes especially
authorize him to crowd everybody
else off, and even make it a crime to
try to dodge him. He looks about as
big as the road could accommodate,
but nevertheless is ambitious to grow
a lot bigger.
The new style road hog is excessive
motor taxation. He is threatening an
invasion of Pennsylvania, and if the
legislature gives him authority to
break in he will quickly settle the

—-With apologies to the Pittsburgh Press.
problem of highway congestion by
forcing tens of thousands of motorists
to quit using the road. There will be
plenty of room for everybody that is
left when he takes possession; for it
has been estimated on the basis of
experience in other states that an
increase of 2 cents in Pennsylvania's
gasoline tax will force from 200,000
to 800,000 people to give up operating
their cars. These of course will be the
poorer people; those who most need
their cars, but who simply couldn’t
stand a tax of 60 cents every time
they bought ten gallons of gasoline.
The organized motorists of the
state are pressing their protests
against the increased tax, with all
possible vigor and announce that they
will not quit, and that they are con-
fident the legislature will finally
decide mot to “soak-the-poor” with
this tax.

Governor Earle
Is Told 5¢
Gasoline Tax Will Not Work

Harrisburg, March 12.—Gov. Geo. H. Earle received a letter
from A. P. Delahunt, for four years Pennsylvania’s Commissioner
of Liquid Fuel Tax, declaring
to 5c will not produce revenue as estimated, and more
The letter which has been laid before all mem-

bers of the legislature, follows:
My dear Governor Earle:
In view of my feurs years’ expe-
rience as Commissioner of Liquid
Fuel Taxation for Pennsylvania, I
have been much interested in the pro-
posal to increase the gasoline tax
from 3c to be.
Frankly, I have been distressed to
learn that Pennsylvania should seri-
ously consider such an increase. In
1929 the state increased this tax from
3c to 4c, with the result that boot-
legging and evasion increased so dis-
astrously that the 8c rate was
restored after a year. In 1934, at
the bottom of the depression, the
state collected more money at 8c than
it had done in the peak-of-prosperity
year 1929 at 4c.
An increase in gasoline tax is in-
evitably followed by a substantial
decrease in automobile registration
and in revenue from this source.
Hence, even though gasoline revenue
be slightly increased, the losses in
that to raise the State gasoline tax
likely will
diately fell from $11,665,482 in 1981
to $9,661,097 in 1932, a loss of 17.8
per cent, and the legislature went
back to the lower rate.
In Wisconsin the rate was raised
from 2c to 4c in 1931; the consump-
tion of gasoline promptly dropped 13.4
per cent.
The great majority of motor ve-
hicles in Pennsylvania being owned
within a few miles of the state border,
a large revenue would be lost because
of buying in other states. Because
of evasion and avoidance of this sort,
Philadelphia is even today losing
$100,000 a year from her portion of
state gasoline taxes.
The states with low gasoline taxes
invariably get business from nearby
states with high taxes. Thus Con-
necticut has the highest ratio of gaso-
line consumption to motor vehicle
registration of any state, and it has
the lowest tax rate—2c. The reason
is not that Connecticut people use
their cars more than do those of other

will quickly disclose that the great
