means of the extensive advertising,
that here was a product that could
be depended upon for a standard of
quality, and which could be readily
distinguished by its trade mark.
Since that time Tillamook cheese
has maintained a trade supremacy,
and as long as the standardizing and
advertising plan is conformed to it
always will.
It was very soon after Tillamook
started the selling campaign that a
co-operative concern operating in the
Willamette valley tried the same
scheme as had been introduced by
Tillamook, trade marking and all,
but this concern did not have the suc­
cess of Tillamook on account of hav­
ing to offer a less acceptable product.
This tends to show, however, that if
Tillamook should ever curtail or cease
its selling plan another cheese would
again take its place as leader and
Tillamook would drop low in the
scale of prices.
The romance that has been attach­
ed to the successful marketing of Till­
amook cheese can be attributed to
three things: A high grade product
was offered its quality was guaran­
teed; and the world was told all about
it. That is the entire secret.
Non-advertisers can take a lesson
from the facts that are presented by
the author of the story. Merchan­
dise thai will not stand comparison,
of course, will move but little through
advertising; so it is necessary for a
merchant to offer some thing that
he is not ashamed of. Then tell the
buying public all about it and guaran-
tee its quality.
Success is inevitable. But the non
advertisers who have merchandise of
less than ordinary value to sell are
surely doing well in keeping the pub­
lic uninformed of the inferiority of
their wares.

REGARDING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
From Exchanges
Quite a number of subscribers of the Tillamook
Headlight have by this time received bills for
their subscription accounts
It is our intention to discontinue all papers that
are not paid for in advance within the next two
weeks. This is not because we distrust our sub­
scribers, but because it takes money to operate
a newspaper and because the postal act of Aug
ust 24,1912 specifies that all matter taking ad
vantage of the second class mail rate must be
paid for in advance.
This has been somewhat disregarded in the past,
but we have decided to be on the safe side and
require that all subserpitions conform to this law
There is a possibility of error in our case, and if
you have not received credit for your subscript­
ion we would be glad have you call our attention
to it so the account will be correct.

The First National Bank
If, for any reason, any of our subscribers are
unable to pay up at present but intend to later,
all that is necessary is to inform us of this fact
and we will carry them on an open account until
they are in a better financial condition. If we
are not notified thus or the subscription is not
paid it will become necessary to discontinue the
paper.
Subscription money may be sent to us
by mail or brought to the office
We appreciate greatly the support that our sub
scribers have given us in the past and trust they
will continue to patronize the Headlight in the
future. We have a number of plans, which we
expect to put in motion soon, that will make
this a much better paper than ever.
