As the result of a alight dispute
between Shedd and Scio, as to
which has the right to the title
of the “The DairY CitY,” the
Shedd Commercial club has de
cided to yield the recently adopt

The above is probably intend
ed as a clever bit of sarcasm,
but fall« rather flat to those fa-
miliar with conditions here, as
it shows either lamentable ig-
norance or willful perversion of
facts by the writer in the last
paragraph.
We would respectfully call the
attention of the good people of
Shedd to a statement made by
F H Porter of that vicinity while
exhibiting his stock at the fair
here last fall, to the effect that
the best herds of cattle which he
had ever seen were raised around
Scio. County Judge McKnight
was also heard to make a similar
remark.
Among those around Scio who
go in for pure bred stock we
might mention V Prokop, T M

Pettit, K Borovitsky, J C Chris-
man and Will Hassler, who all
have fine herds of registered
jeraeys, and C A Poavar. whose
blooded guernseys are the envy
of all who see them. Another,
but perhaps unimportant fact
from the Shedd viewpoint, is
that the chief industry in the
Forks of the Santiam is dairying,
and the Scio Condensery is being
patronized at present by about
sixty farmers, while a number
ship to Portland creameries. All
these have good grade herds.

The western ikv is tinged with ruse,
IT is common to hear a
31♦ . non-advertising mer
chant say that he does
not believe in advertising but
gives the customer the bene
fit of the money he saves by
not advertising. Ix*t us ex
amine this statement and see
how much truth it contains.
Judicious advertising sells
more goods f<>r the merchant,
turns his stock quicker and
makes it possible, by increas
ing the volume of business
to buy in bigger quantities
and obtain a bigger di -count.
Increasing the volume of
business decreases the selling
cost. A merchant will sell
cheaper, if possible. Recall
he will thus gam customers
from his cornjwtitors. ami al
so increase the demand as
lowering the price of an arti
cle places it within the reach
of a larger per cent of the
people and is thus a stimu-
lant to trade.
The price of a commodity
is lowered and the quality is
bettered through the medium
of advertising Take the
automobile as illustration.
Advertising has made the
automobile business. It over
came the prejudice that ex
isted against the machine and
created a demand that en
abled the factories to increase
the output and cut the «ell-
ing pri.e to less than 50 jM-r
cent of what it was a few
years ago.
It is readily seep that
consumer does not pay
advertising, as the ad
tis<*r sells cheaper than
non-advertiser.
If the consumer dots not
pay for the advertising, who
does pay? It cannot be the
advertiser as advertising in
creases his sales, decreases
his selling cost ami inert a-es
his profits. The advertiST
doesn’t pay, liecause adver
tising pays him.
Then who pays for the ad
vertising? The non-adver
tiser pays for the advertising
done by his advertising com
petitor. All business that
he loses to his advertising
competitor is part of the
price he pays. The non-ad
vertiser and the jMmr adver
tiser, each in proportion. pay
for the ads of the good ad-
vertiser.
