Merchants and Newspapers Great Factors
In Building Up a Town
PATRONIZE YOUR HOME NEWSPAPER!
Although there ore many reasons whj EVERY ONE
SHOULD DO ALL IN HIS POWER TO HELP THE
HOME PAPER, it ia self evident that tho men who can and
ahould do the most are the merchants. Their success means the
success of the newspaper, and none will deny that the SUCCESS
OP THE NEWSPAPER IS MAINLY DEPENDENT ON
THE MERCHANTS. Tho newspaper is vitaJly interested in tho
success of those who hare things to offer to the community.
Women nnd many men nowadays read the ndvertising columns
almost jib closely as they do the news column.
IF A MERCHANT HAS ANYTHING SPECIAL TQ OFFER HI
KNOWS THAT THE VERY BEST WAV TO LIT THE PEOPLE
KNOW THAT HE HAS IT IS THROUOH THE COLUMNS OF THE
LOCAL NEWSPAPER. MERCHANTS SHOULD TAKE A DEEP IN
TEREST IN THEIR HOME NEWSPAPER. IT IS AN INSTITUTION
OP THE TOWN. IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. IT SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED. IT IS THE GREATEST TOWN BOOMER THERE
IB. THE NEWSPAPER IS NECESSARY TO THE MERCHANT AND
THE MERCHANT TO THE NEWSPAPER. IP THE HOME NEWS
PAPER OCCASIONALLY KNOCKS IT IB TO REMEDY SOMETHING
THAT IS WRONG, OR AT LEAST SOMETHINO THAT IT HONEST
LY THINKS IS WRONG. THE HOME NEWSPAPER'S HANDS
SHOULD BE HELD UP. IT NEEDS THE SINCERE MORAL SUP
PORT OP EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY. BUT NONE MORE
THAN THE MERCHANTS.
Merchants of a town, those who supply its daily needs, invaria
bly are PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS.' They are tha men
who moke up the hoards of trade. They ore always in tho fore
front of sny ag.tation looking to the BETTERMENT OK THE
MUNICIPALITY. Their cause always is identical with that of
tho home newspaper. There shonld be a spirit of co-operation be
tween the merchants and the homo newspaper.
