"I have been told that Baker City men could buy champagne but they couldn't buy postage stamps." "This subscription list is a dis grace to you. A little country town of 300 could do better." "This town spent more money to hear one great artist sing Madame Schumann-Heink than it had spent in three years in advertising Baker City." "The men who impose on tho business men and expect them to do all the community adver tising are criminals. "The rich man who puts down his name on this subscription list for one dollar ought to be in the penitentiary." "Dig! Dig! Get down where it hurts. And bring up money. Real money. Money that means something." "You can -add millions to the valuation of this town by adver tising." "Tell the truth. Bo honest with yourselves. Quit hiding the other fellow!"
