TROUBLES
‘‘When you get a certain slant on troubles,” says Robert
Updergraff, an Eastern advertising writer, “you discover
that they are rather useful after all. They pay about halt
your salary.
“It’s this way”, he explains, “whether you are the head
of a firm, a department or even the office or plant handy
man; whether you sell, buy, ship goods or keep books, some
one could be found to handle the job for about half what
you get, if it were not for troubles—the things that go
wrong, the people who treat you contemptibly, the difficulty
that has to be met and overcome’’.
It takes intelligence, experience, patience, tact and cour
age to properly meet the troubles of any job. That is why
you hold your present position. And it may be the reason
why you don’t hold a more important one.
In every organization there are employees whose work,
to all outward appearances, could be handled bv most any
green hand. They go about their tasks methodically as long
as things run smoothly. But when troubles occur, they are
worth all the green hands in the city. They know what to
do and how to do it. They are paid for what they know—
for their experience—rather than the relatively unimport
ant routine duties their position require when things run
smoothly—the same applies to those in important posts.
Most of'them work fairly short hours; they don’t become
flustered. They know what to do in a pinch—when trouble
comes. That is what they are paid for, and their understand
ing and ability would seldom be appreciated and compensat
ed were it not for troubles, to which they may fail to give
due credit for their position in the general scheme of things.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?

Bert J, Abraham, publisher of the Pittsburg (Calif.)
Post-Dispatch, says:
“Reams of publicity have been broadcast over a period
of years advocating the use of the small town newspaper as
a very effective medium for the home-town merchant as
well as the large national advertiser. The effect of this con
tinuous promotion of the advantage of the home-town news
paper has been most convincing on some merchants. The
number of merchants who have seen the light is growing
with leaps and bounds. They have become convinced that
advertising, if properly written, is an important factor in the

development of their business. The day of donating to small
town editors to support his paper, only for the reason that the
town ‘needs a newspaper’ is a thing of the past.
‘‘Unfortunately there still are some merchants, and
heavens they are in the minority, who believe that they
MUST support the home newspaper to continue its publica
tion. A good newspaper does not need and will not accept
donations. A good newspaper sells its space on the merits
of its publication and on the value of its circulation. A good
newspaper does not adopt the ‘me too’ policy, if there are two
papers in the field, just because the advertiser decided to
use the opposition. A good newspaper with a good clean
paid circulation and a fair advertising rate will get the mer
chants’ business for business reasons only, and that reason
is RESULTS. Donations to the country editor are obsolete;
they have passed on just as the horse and wagon have.
“Newspapers who uphold the 20th century ideal, who
uphold a living rate and produce a good publication will
prosper and succeed. The ‘me too’ editor, the cut rate news
paper, the donation publisher is doomed to destruction.
The successful merchants today buy advertising space
for its relative value and not because of donations, special
reduced rates, etc., all of which are bought with a degree of
suspicion A newspaper that creates advertising results does
not have to resort to 19th century methods. This is a new
age and the newspaper profession, to succeed, must live up
to the new ideal.”
