DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. W aite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Don Bridge, advertising director of the New York
Times, says: “The purchase of newspaper advertising
space might be compared to renting a building. In the aver
age lease of desirable business property the owner provides
a building of certain demonstrated value at a specified price
but does not guarantee that the tenant will sell a certain
amount of merchandise. The more undesirable the pro
perty, the greater the concessions offered to obtain a tenant.
The greater the sales productivity of the location, the fewer
concessions. The parallel with the purchase of advertising
space is obvious.
“A building that is clean, complete and modern is worth
more per foot, just as a newspaper that is clean, complete
and modern is worth more per line. The value of a loca
tion is enhanced if the neighboring business institutions are
honest and reliable and the value of newspaper space is en
hanced if the neighboring advertisements are honest and
reliable. Neighboring buildings that are cheap or guady
in appearance detract from the value of the rented space
and a degnified, quality atmosphere increases its value.
Neighboring advertisements that are cheap or guady in ap
pearance detract from the value of the advertising space
and a dignified, quality atmosphere increases its value.
“Rental value depends upon the number of buyers,
rather than the number of people, who pass the location and
the purchasing habits and capacity of those buyers. The
value of advertising space depends upon the number of
buyers, rather than the number of people, who read the
newspaper and the purchasing habits and capacity of those
buyers.”
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
The automobile tourist trade is a big factor in the busi
ness of a city.
Too many people spend too much time in playing the
game of watchful waiting.
Customers take a just pride in buying from growing
institutions. Newspaper advertising makes a growing bus
iness flourish.
The right kind of advertising attracts business the
country over.
The calling of an Editor compels him to live in tomor
row before today has half run its course.
In some cities a whole lot of citizens think the home city
is big enough and spend a lot of their time puzzling their
minds about how to make a village out of it.

Kidnaped Boy Is
Released Brough*
Home by Reporter
Continued From Page One
He said he was kept in a house
for three nights and four days and
allowed to read the newspaper ac
counts of the search for him and his
kidnapers. He stated he believed the
house he was confined in was about
a mile and a half North of Issaquah.
The boy told newspapermen that
his uncle F. Rodman Titcomb had
paid the ransom shortly before his
release. “Your Pa will pick you up”,
George said he was told as he was
let out on the road about four miles
from Issaquah.
Met By Newspaper Reporter
Outside of Tacoma the farmer and
the boy were met by Dreher who
spotted the boy and directed his taxi
driver to overtake the man and the
kidnaped boy. Flagging Bonomi to
a halt Dreher thanked him and off
ered to rush the boy to his home in
his more speedy vehicle. The far
mer agreed readily and asked for his
daughter’s shoes. Dreher then start
ed back here with his charge in the
taxicab.
Family Issues Statement
A statement issued by H. M. Bal
con Seattle insurance man and the
spokesman for the family after the
boy’s arrival home in the newsman’s
rab was substantially as above.
He said: "George is frightened and
nervously upset and unable to an
swer questions clearly due to the
lerrible ordeal which he has gone
through and since he has been back
be is badly shaken. On account of
the little boy we request that fur
ther details be withheld from pub
lication to reduce any bad effects on
his future life. We are very grate
ful for the many expressions of sym
pathy and offers of help.” The state
ment was signed by Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Weyerhaeuser After reading
the statement Bolcon retreated into
the house and said he did not know
whether the lad was in bed or not.
When asked if pictures could be
I
taken of him, he said positively no.
Identifies Three of Captors
Dreher said that the boy identi
fied three of his captors as Harry,
Bill and Alvin, who must be that
Karpis fellow. Since the boy was
kidnaped it became known today
that federal state and city officers
had been attempting to connect mem
bers of the Alvin Karpis gang sought
for the "kidnaping of Edward G.
Bremer, with the Weyerhaeuser ab
duction. Many witnesses said they
had seen members of the Karpis
gang in Tacoma at various times dur
ing the past year and even during
the week-end of the Weyerhaeuser
kidnaping.
Scoop for Seattle Times
Dreher is the oldest editorial em
ployee of the Seattle Times in point
of service. He got his training as
a police reporter and many times
during the recent years he has been
called to drop his golf column and
cover major crime stories. He is
silvery-haired and quiet spoken. Mr.
Dreher was put on the Weyerhaeus
er case almost as soon as it broke.
When the Tacoma police got a tele
phone call from the unknown farmer
near Issaquah it was Dreher who
grabbed a taxi and was the first
newsman to see the boy.
