paper came out the man returned to
demand why tho story hadn't been
printed. Short, sharp words followed
and the visitor called the editor a cow
ard and left, vowing that a man who
was afraid to print the news had no
right to be an editor. To our mind,
that editor was a bravo man. The in
former who demanded that his namo
bo kept secret, was the coward. The
editor ran a paper in a small town. So
closely related were the lives of tho
inhabitants, that the editor knew eve
ry detail of the story before his visi-
pleasure trip to Alaska, and after ex
toling the climatic conditions in Alas
ka explained that at Skagway there
were dalias growing, which were tun
inches across. Of course we have
often heard of and even heard Sena

and responsible man. And of course
we have also heard of Alaska's "twen

home newspaper. If the ninn's view
were not distorted, he would see that
ho couldn't afford not to advertise. Re
fusing to advertise is his most expen
sive extravagance. That sanm mer
chant will spent hours telling of the
"unfair" competition of the mail
order houses who are his most acrirres-
stve and dangerous competitors, yet
the methods employed by the mail
order houses which succeed are the
very ones which the merchant refuses
to use. The mail-order house first of
all is an advertiser. Advertising is
the life of its business. Every maga
zine that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad of the mail
order. Expensive catalogs are print
ed showing the illustrations of the act
ual articles. Occasionally sheets are
scattered broadcast over the country
as a special "come-on" for the bargain
hunter. Instead of doing these things
in a smaller way through the columns
of his local paper, the merchant who
can't afford to advertise sits down and
"cusses" his tough luck and wonders
why he can't get the business. He
never thinks he has a better opportun
ty to reach the people in his neighbor
hood than the mail-order house has. It
doesn't cost him as much as it does the
tho outsider; he can draw the peopl
to his store and show them the actual
article he is advertising, and when
they can tako their purchase homo
with them instead of having to wait
for several weeks for it. Advertising
is an investment. It should be charg
ed to your seling cost. Figure what
percentage you have to pay tojidver
use, then base a fifty-two weeks cam
paign on the computation. You can'
lose. You can't afford Not to adver
tise.
An interesting feature of M. G.
Pohl's letter in another column is his
expression of wonder at the order and
cleaness of Snn Diego and the contrast
is startling to any one who goes ab

of a jump in the way of building con

to the top of a six story building to
enable the man above to do nil the

things that work are the men who
shovel the sand and gravel into the

The other workmen stand around and
draw their time, look wise poke at the

and then or direct the mouth of the
tin chute to the proper place of depos
it. The car is loaded with gravel on
the outside, pulled to the center of the

tho mixer, receives its proper propor

to an elevator bucket, which is lifted
by the engine to the top of the tower
