Why The Redmond Spokesman
hus circulation.
The answer is simply this:
The paper prints the local news
(»f the city gives to its readers
the happenings from week to
week, and that is what they
want in a local paper.
Each week The Spokesman is
adding from five to a dozen names
on its subscription list. And
these names come from all over.
In the city, in the county and
from outside territory.
The people want to read of
what is doing in Redmond, the
most widely advertised and best
city in Central Oregon. And
they find out what they want in
the columns of The Spokesman.
Circulation is what makes a
newspaper valuable to the adver
tiser. and in that respect The
Spokesman is valuable alike to
the local advertiser as well as the
advertiser who has something to
sell and wants to reach people
outside of the city and county.
You will make no mistake in
subscribing for The Spokesman
if you want all the news of Red
mond, and advertisers will make
no mistake in using the columns
of the paper if they want to
reach the buying public.

Ordinance No. 4 of the City of
Redmond provides for an occu

every business house in the city
is compelled to pay a license to
the city for the privilege of doing
business.
That ¡sail right as far as it goes.
But when a business house

that the person who pays for the

Since the passage of the ordin

have been coming to the city and

So far as The Spokesman can

the city a cent of license, although

of the ordinance.
Another abuse that should be
stopped:
Fake advertising schemes that
do not do a cent’s worth of good
to the advertiser, and takes money
out of the city.
The printing offices pay an
annual license of $10 per annum,
but any one can come into Red

the business men by their glib

are the ones to suffer in the end.
For after a business man has
been bitten on a fake scheme for
a good sum he feels poor and
does not take kindly to any kind
of advertising, even though he
knows it will benefit him.
These fakirs should be compelled
to pay a good big license. The
business men in all lines should
have protection when they pay
