I TRUCK NARROWLY
ESCAPES TURNING
OVER CAPE NOME
e
Cliff Coutts, driving for the Nome
Motor Company, had a narrow es
cape last evening while coming ov
er Cape Nome in a truck.
The truck skidded on a glacier
formation and landed off the road.
He had driven Chas. Dalquist and
a load of freight from Nome to
Safety and the near-accident oc
curred on the return trip, almost
on the same spot where Alfred J.
Lomen’s car once slid off the road
over a glacier.
The truck came very nearly
toppling off the edge of the cliff at
that point, but luckily several rocks
held it. Accompanying Cliff Coutts
in the truck was Emery Harper,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Harper.
Before the dangerous climb up the
other side of the cliff was made,
he got out of the car.
The two young men walked back
to the Cape Nome roadhouse and
telephoned to town. Another truck
of the Nome Motor Company went
down with block and tackle and
hauled the other car back up onto
the road, and both trucks came in
to town, arriving here about 10:30
p.m.

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK
BY
EDSON R. WAITE
B. A. Butler, editor of the Ciscc
Texas Daily News, says:
‘“Why advertise?’ is a question
asked by the small town merchant
It is not asked by the city mer
chant, to whom advertising has
proven itself as a fact of his com
petitive experience. If he survives
he advertises; if he doesn’t survive
he doesn’t advertise. The fate oi
the small town merchant and the
small town newspaper is intimately
concerned today in a social Change
that is the result of paved high
ways and swift wheels. The small
town merchant asks himself this
question: ‘How can I keep my cus
tomers from going to the city s
hundred, a hundred and fifty oi
two hundred and fifty miles away?
The answer is bound up in the un
derstanding of a fundamental chan
ge that is occurring in-American
living conditions. Briefly, I believe
that good roads, swift cars and lux
urious transportation, instead of de
populating thriving villages and
bankrupting the small town store
keeper, actually will do the oppo
site. It remains for enterprising
small town business and civic lead
ership, through factors that certain
ly must include the home news
paper, to translate fundamentals
into a community program.
“Here in Cisco we pride ourselv
es on a great recreational and
amusement area about a large lake
and upon an appealing residential
atmosphere. The point is that trunk
highways and fast cars make these
desireable elements for happy liv
ing just as available to the crowd
ed population of the metropolis as
they make 'the metropolitan shops
available to our own people. Good
roads are opening up to millions of
people the privilege of living in the
freedom of the open air and in the
privacy of less congested towns
where they can satisfy the human
instinct for sunlight and the open
space. Industry, freed of the neces
sity to consider sources of power
and fuel, will carry itself to mark
ets and its people will choose living
conditions.
“A wonderful new field has been
opened to the small town press,
and a profitable one for the small
town merchant. While the metro
politan merchant is advertising in
a bulky paper, the small town mer
chant has the advantage of a med
ium that has a personal appeal to
its readers, a medium in which his
message will not be crowded into
insignificance by numbers. In the
fact of this new exodus from the
crowded cities to the freedom of
the smaller towns, the small town
merchant faces an opportunity that
ought to make the question ‘WHY
ADVERTISE?’ AS OBSOLETE AS
AS IT HAS BECOME OBSOLETE
WHEREVER COMPETITION HAS
PROVEN ITS NECESSITY AND
ITS VALUE.”
Government experts have estimat
ed that 75 percent of the land in
the United States is subject to dam
age by soil erosion.
