ANNIE SMITH, , - - - J - ''7 Notary PublIc "Do Your Christmas Shopping Early' ' By J. A. Coleman tflf The above slogan in the hands of an astute business man, JJ changed the whole practice of Christmas shopping and stimu lated holiday business as nothing else could have done. This man, with the nerve of a Barnum and the judgment of a AVanamakcr, grabbed the thought from the public mind and put it into big BLACK TYPE where "He who runs may read" in the newspaper! lie backed a popular conviction with his coin und advertised the universal belief that it would bo better for everyono concerned if lhe inevitable Christmas purchases were made at once while stocks were fresh and now and the choice was wide and ample. fTTThe result not only paid tho ndvortls U or as It always does but tho whole country profited besldo. gTTThla slogan has slnco slipped Into J practical uso In ovcry corner of com mercial America. Excepting perhops its follow slogan "Surety First," which reduc ed the accident deatfi rato enormously, It has done moro good In tho world than any business phraso ever coined. It has been the means of discontinuing tho time honored practlco among largo metropoli tan department and specialty stores of keoplng open In tho evenings a weeK or two preceedtng Christmas Eve. It has enabled manufacturers to prepare their goods and fill orders far enough In ad vanco to Insuro clear store rooms long bo foro tho Yulotlde caudles were lighted. It prevented the disappointment of millions of Christmas shoppers who were wont In times past to wait for tho moro attractive novelties which turned up at the last mo ment. And not tho loast Important, it sav ed tho heartaches or neglected ones who leant upon the broken reed of mere man's thoughtlessness. - ' fllfThat phrase "Do Your Christmas JJ Shopping Early," was Instantly taken . up and flashed boforo the eyes of tho world through the medium of Its news paper. JuBt ns ovcry othor worth whllo thing Is told this nation or readers by thq over present, constant, rolIablot all-knowing morning, ovcmlng, weekly, or Sunday nowspapor. Notihlng tho world does is dono without ITS knowledge, nothing you want tho world to know can bo mado known without its aid. Almost any nat ional manufacturer will tell you that most of his fame and profit were tho product of newspaper advertising. No nowspapor advertiser who kept It up wisely ever lost money. JTTTho nowsptapor pays tho advertiser, jl Tho latter merely Invests In business publicity, Tho cost or advertising Is llko a phantom Zeppelin It nover lights any where It Is a bugaboo made of thin air and a yellow streak. The common sup position that advertising expense Is lev led upon tho consumer is llkowiso a fal lacy. Tho fact or tho matter Is that iho non-advertlsor Ps for It out of tho busl--ness ho loses to competitors who do ad vertise. Advertising doubles output, halves ov- erhead, divides selling cost and, by making two customers buy where ONLY ONE BOUGHT BEFORE, It create a hun dred per cent Increase In profit out of which any business man can well afford to pay for his own advertising. fl MORAL FOR MERCHANTS Advertise in the Coos Bay Times and do your Christmas BUSINESS early SERBIAN VALLEY MAY '' EQUALTH KL0NDYKE Territory Which Was Otvuplcil by tlio (ivrumus Believed to ho Rich In Cold tnr AMoouttj rrM io coo nr Timn.1 SALONIKI, Nov. 17.
