Bryan is supporting the Demo

issues, and that the nomination
of the Democratic candidate for
President of the United States
was achieved by. crooked and in
defensible methods." Truly a

A BIG SIMMER TRADF.
And Just How Business Men
. - Can Get It:
In soite of all the , talk about
hard times, dull seasons, and gen
eral business stagnationsr it often
happens that individual - enter
pise is quickly emulated by " oth-s
ers until the whole business world
is in active motion again. One
bold advertiser can start a crowd
of others advertising,' ixecause
they have to in order to protect
their trade. ; We have cases in
mind on this point. The in
stinct of self protection teaches
them that if they wish to hold
their trade they must counteract
the effects of the new firm's ad
vertising. ' Farmers from Philo
math and Alsea pass right through
Corvallis and buy large quanti
ties of supplies in Albany, simply
because the advertising literature
of the firm patronized keeps
pouring into the hands of the con
sumer. - This . is . a lesson that
should be laid well to heart by
praters about "hard times" and
"dull seasons." Say what you
will, enterprise is contagious. It
only needs "one bolder than the
rest to set the pace and the others
are sure to follow, must follow,
in fact. Try it and see. The
stores will be - crowded, money
will be spent, extra sales people
will be needed, and things gen
erally will improve in spite of
your prophesies about the dull
summer season and your fears
that Parker may be elected. All
this goes to prove that bad times
can be made better right here and
now by hustling, by creating
trade, by energy, activity and
judicious advertising in the Ga
zette. We have always con
tended that many merchants are
responsible for their own dull sea
sons. L'et us give you a little
good live advertising and see.
