ball, helps to advertise Estacada

Cut Out The Coupon
Does it pay to advertise? That
is what Walter Givens of Tracy
& Givens wishes to determine
exactly and especially if it pays
to advertise in the home paper
and to the home folks, through
the columns of the Progress.
The editor knows it pays, al-
though the returns are in exact
proportion to the amount of la
bor expended in the preparation
of the advertising copy. The ed
itor knows the Progress is read
by the big majority o f Eastern
Clackamas residents and thor
oughly read too, judging from
the returns obtained from the
small want-ads.
But Walt wont believe every
thing the editor.tells him, for
some reason or other, so he has
gotten up a novel advertisement
in this issue, wherein he offers
to give to every person present
ing the printed coupon attached,
any 10c package of groceries,
free. He figures this little ex
periment may cost him from $5
to $10. but the editor kind of
hopes it will cost fifty.
Again, it is barely possible
Walt figures that by starting this
little argument, he may get a lit
tle free advertising and if so, he
is welcome, but it is hoped that
his arm will ache handing out 10c
free packages of groceries in the
next few days.
You as a reader, can material
ly help the Progress increase the
Givens & Tracy advertising to a
full page for the year 1916, if
you will insist that you get your
free 10c package. If the Prog
ress gets more business, you will
get more good reading matter, so
let’s answer Walt’ s inquiry for
once and all, within the next few
days.
Other local advertisers have
asked the same question and some
of them are now firm believers in
the policy of advertising in the
home paper, for instance W. D.
Henthorn’s page advertisement
this week.
Will Closner o f Park & Closner
says that the results o f his first
week’s advertising has already
paid for the Aluminum Kitchen
Outfit, he is offering as a prem
ium in the voting contest.
For some reason or other, it
isn’t often that an Estacada mer
chant will admit to the editor the
direct results he is obtaining, but
Harley Trowbridge, and the two
Berts, (Finch a n d Chapman)
have inadvertently let drop the
fact that they get results from
their publicty, and along with Ed
Allen, Charley Miller and the
rest, keep right on advertising
and sticking by the home paper
and the home town.

Brooks, Or., are making a visit
