A La Grande professional man is one of the most tact

THE ADVERTISER'S PULL.
What does your daily paper actually cost? It is obvious
that tho several pennies you pay per day does not cover
the expense involved in the writing and printing of this
newspaper.
What do magazines cost? It is reported the actual
cost per copy of a famous weekly selling for 5 cents is ac
tually '12 cents. Somebody pays for your newspaper and
your magazine. This somebody is the ndvertiser.
From this simple bit of logic, obvious to all, has come
the popular fancy that advertisers control the editors.
, Radical.4 love to mouth the phrase "the kept' press."
i - And, of course; if the advertiser 'makes the paper pos
sible, it would seem reasonable to assume that he controls
the independence of the editor and directs the policy of
the owner.
JUit it is not in accordance with either logic or truth.
Advertising makes possible your daily paper. Rut no in
dividual advertiser makes it possible!
The bulk of advertising carried in a newspaper makes
possible the publication of that paper. Newspapers fre
quently reject undesirable advertising. In doing so they
not only assert their independence of individual clients, but
enhance the lone, of the paper and increase the pulling
power of the advertising columns.
The advertiser's "pull" with the editor and publisher
is a myth. The only pull is the pulling power of a well
written ad in a reputable' newspaper. The average adver
tiser knows this, and is content to help you enjoy for a
few cents a real newspaper.
