ASHLAND,............. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 8, 1891).
EDITORIAL.
All of our subscribers who do not re
ceive their A dvertiser every week are
requested to report the same at this office.
All such will be supplied with an extra
copy. The fault does not lie with us but
in the post office.
On first page we publish, in full, the
Oregonian’s write-up of the city of Ash
land, for which the publishers were to
receive fifty dollars.
’ • • . :
The last act of the old City Council
was to call a special meeting, and, with
out consulting the wishes of the people,
vote that fifty dollars l>e paid to the Ore
gonian for a satisfactory write-up and il
lustrations of our city. The New’ Year’s
edition of the journal revealed the result
of their diminutive judgement.
Public opinion is unanamous in the
denouncation of this act of the council,
but “what’s done can’t be undone,” and
although the write-up is not what was
expected, the council had better pay for
it and admit that they have been duped,
for, if it is not paid for, the chances are
about even that the Oregonian will give
the city another write-up even more un
satisfactory than the first one is.
The council w as not unanamously in
favor of this needless expenditure of
much needed funds, and those who op
posed it are to be commended for their
good judgement in behalf of the liest in
terests of our city.
Quite a number of our advertisers in-
from us that they are more than pleased
with the results obtained from their ad
vertising in last A dvertiser , the results
being far greater than they ever obtained
through any other paper of this city.
They attribute it to the fact that the
A dvertiser being small is read in its en
tirety, while nobody reads more of a
large sheet than he is obliged to in order
to get the news. Some of the publishers
of the large sheets, who are losing sub
scribers and patronage to a large degree,
in favor of the small papers, even go so
far in their conceited foolishness and
desperation as to assert that the reason
they (the larger papers) have not the
confidence of the people is because so
manv enterprising business men persist
in advertising in “little papers with no
circulation nor standing in the commun
ity.” Poor conceited, brainless weilders
of the editorial pen, too blind to see
as other people see—that in the publica
tion of such matter, they are only laying
their own true condition liefore the pub
lic. It is no wonder that they receive
no patronage when they cannot
bring equal results with the small
papers that they look upon with so much
contempt.
The circulation books oi the A dver
tiser are open to all advertisers.
We
do not have to mail sample copies in the
proportion of two to one of our bona fide
list to make a respectable showing on
mailing days, as certain—well, you know
the rest.
