X ? x x I X What Does It Mean to You? the Local Newspaper THE local newspaper is the organ, the tool, of the territory for which it is published. Its purpose, its motives, its des tinies are guided only to a degree by its management. If the management be competent, then the local newspaper largely re flects the progressive spirit of the community as a whole. The life blood of the local newspaper is advertising, its main source of revenue. It must have advertising support in order to exist, and the extent to which it is able to serve its readers is measured by the advertising support given. However, the local newspaper does not base its plea for advertisers on sentimental reasons. Reaching, as it does, the majority of the buyers of its field with each issue, it affords the merchant invaluable oppor tunity to display his wares. The extent and the way in which the merchant does this reflects to a material degree his pro gressiveness. It is possible for the newspaper managment to assist the merchant only to the extent the merchant permits. THE same is largely true in publishing the news. It is possi ble for the newspaper to gather only such news as comes to the editor's attention. The small newspaper's revenue does not permit of an elaborate newsgathering force. So-called "big stories" are comparatively easy to report. But the multitude of small personal items that make the paper meaty to its readers, are available, very largely, only through reader cooperation. If you enjoy reading, or having, a real live local newspaper, it is up to you to cooperate. And if the newspaper makes errors in reporting items in which you are interested, do not criticize too severely if you did not report it. The local newspaper attempts to print all the worth-while news as correctly as possible. But its editor is not a mind reader, and when rumor alone must be relied upon error is al most certain. Cooperate for a better local neivspaper. the Local Printshop WHEN you run out of billheads the end of the month and "haven't time to order them from Portland, Spokane, 'Frisco or wherever, do you not appreciate being able to get a dupli cate job at the local printer's wtihin a few hours? The local printshop is equipped to do all kinds of good quality commercial printing at reasonable prices plus personal service. But how much thought does the local printer get when a smooth-tongued outside printing salesman comes along, handing out cigars. Surely, he quotes a lower price but not on the same quantities bought at home. He figures on a year's supply of printing in stead of a month's, and the prices he quotes are in most cases no lower, and in many not as low, as like quantities can be pur chased at home. Then, again, the local printer is on the job every day to make good his guarantee of "work delivered as represented." There is no printing job which the local printer can not do, or have done for you. True, he does not guarantee cut throat prices, for he feels he is entitled to a reasonable profit, but he does guarantee to meet the prices of any reputable firm with the same or better quality printing. And the local printshop is always on hand to aid in planning your needs. The local printer also buys at home.
