AN INL>i INDENT NEWSPAPER
IT REDUCES PRICES. 4
Some people have always
argued that advertising adds
to the cost of the goods, and
that the business house that
eliminated this- form of ex
pense could afford to sell
cheaper.
It is interesting to think what
would happen if all at once
firms stopped advertising. The
result would be that the enter
prising and successful store,
the one that gets a good trade
because it serves the public
efficiently, would be unable
to hold its position. A store of
that kind could not show en
terprise in attracting the pub
lic, because the public would
not know what it was doing.
People would buy in a haphaz
ard way, largely of the stores,
that happened to be nearest
to them. If the enterprising
store attempted to handle
some big lot at low prices, the
public would not know that
the goods were there, and the
sale would not be a success.
This would discourage a man
from special attempts to servt
the public, and he would ran
along in a routine way. The
tendency would be for a lot
of small stores to spring up,
and get the trade away from
the enterprising ones that now
advertise freely. The public
would not know that one store
was better than another, and a
dealer could charge hign
prices and the customers would
not have the. store advertising
by which they cpuld tell whai
prices should be. Merchants
wou'd find that it dm not pay
to hold special sales as the
public would not notice them
much if they were held. The
constant stream of trade that
has been flowing through en
terprising stores would dwin
dle. When a store sees its vol
ume of trade fall off, the
charge per article for retail
distribution has to be increas
ed. The coat of distributing
stuff could be expected to
double under such a system,
and there would be a lack of
the special opportunities by
which the thrifty buyer now
saves money.

THE WIDE, WIDE WORLD.
Do not be distressed over
much* by news of evil. This if
a wide, wide world. It contains
much that is bad, but more
that is good. Righteousness if
slowly, but surely, triumphing
over sin. If you do not believe
that, or merely have noi
realized it, turn for a momeni
to contemplation of happiei
things. Turn your tired eye.*
from the day’s record of evil
to the day’s golden roll oi
honor There is more of good
news than of bad news today '
every day. There is more tc |
see on the sunny side, and ii
is more worth seeing. Then 1
ire only two reasons for gait, j
ing at ugly things; either that ‘
’•ve may more fully know evi
vhen we meet, even in gilded
obes; or that we may grap
ole with it and blot it out. |
Broad highroads of honor lead I
o every worthy goal of life
The mud roads are in the low
ands, leading only to dissolut
on and corruption. If we trave
;he mud road it is at our own !
'olitipn. Sin is not the harvesi
jf life. It is the chaff thresh
;d from the wholesome grair.
md will be swept from tht
hreshing floor. Why look up
m the chaff when the grain if
here? If some days the vol
ime of chaff seems greatei
. hen ethers, knp’.v that tjfc.
threshing has been more thor
ough.
This is a wide, wide world
nd full of sweetness to thosi
vho would find it.
Perhaps most connubial troub- j
es arise from the fact that i
nan falls in love with a pah
>f eyes or a dimple or a smih
>ut marries the whole girl.

HUGE ORE BODIES
IN SULLIVAN MINE
Ore bodies in the famous Sul
livan mine at Kimberly, B. C.,
are described by A. J. Langley,
resident engineer for the Koot
enay mineral survey district
in a recent issue of the Mining
and Engineering Journal.
Langley is quoted as stating
lhat the south ore deposit in
he Sullivan has been develop
ed for 700 feet along its strike
and averages between 30 and
10 feet in thickness. The nortn
orq deposit, according to tne
.eport, promises to be mucn
greater in extent and in places
has a thickness of 200 feet.
Langley describes the Sullivan
ire bodies as displacements in
luartzite. He states they are a
lense crystalline mixture of
mlphides of lead, zinc and
ron averaging about 11.5,
ead, 10.5 zinc and 3 ounces m
’.ilver to the ton.
The Sullivan is owned by the
Consolidated Mining & Smelt
ng c ,mpany of Canada.
