AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Just on the eve of buying for
Christmas it may be well to
say that Hyder merchants are
bciter prepared than ever be
fore to take care of the local
trade. They are receiving new
goods every week and the
prices asked are based only on
a reasonable profit. Through
the columns of the Herald
thoy are telling the public of
the bargains they have to offer
ar.d asking their patronage.
B" >1! means give it to them!
They are doing their best to
meet your demands for Christ
mas goods and have invested
a lot of money in stock they
never handled before. It is no
more than right and fair that
you g:ve them your trade and
save Jh m from possible loss.
Tt is well known that the mail
"Her houses have been filling
lo~al h )mes with their holiday
offerings, but the wise local
person should realize that it
pays in the long run to buy at
h^me, where you can get what
you w-nt. when you want it,
and with it a guarantee that it
is right, your money back, or
the article exchanged.
Be loyal to your community! j
Without any attempt to org
anize lines into epigrams or
say smart things with simple
words , the story of many a
failure can be written around
one word, the lack of thor
oughness. The incomplete
thing is the imperfect thing.
The unfinished is the unwant
ed. This age will not accept a
defeat in men or merchandise.
The American people demand
ihe classiest thing in its class,
and the man who lacks thor
oughness will only produce
that which belongs to the oth
er class.
-o
The will to pay is heredity,
ju~t as red hair and buck teeth.
It is a common fallacy that a
man pays his debts because he
has money. This is not necess- I
arily true. On the contrary, the
matter of paying has only a re
mote relation to money.
On the one hand is your
friends with abundance of
money, who can not be cajoled
threatened, beaten or gassed
into paying the most ordinary
debt.
*-o
On the other hand, the poor
fellow without a visible dollar
you know him- who is Johnny
on the Invoice. Money has
little to do with either case. It
is the breed of the man.
The man who pays is the man
who thinks in advance. He
never flashes a roll; he does
not drive a car and carry a
mortgage at the same time; he
does not hang up the butcher,
or the grocer, for food that he
cannot afford to eat; he never
lights the fire without wonder
ing where the coal man gets
off. He never throws the bull, j
nor pitches the bull, nor gives
notes nor writes checks dated
to-morrow, but when the bills
come in, he is there with the
coin of the realm.
Sometimes he feels sore at
the rest of us. He does not see |
that he gets on any better than
the fellow who skins as he
goes. Still he goes on and on, |
pays and pays, simply because
it is in the breed.
And after all, the world does
think a lot of his breed. The
man who pays is the bulwark
of society. He is the balance
wheel of civilization. He is the
mainspring of commerce. Busi
ness blesses him and he has
honor among men for all time.
-o
All forms of advertising have
been used successfully by
utility companies, but the one
that has proved indispensible ;
is the newspaper.
First of all it has circulation.
A single newspaper will often
cover from 60 to 80 per cent
of the homes in its territory.
Advertising space in that pap
er will g;/e much greater re
turn per dollar in' ested than
will any < ther fori:, of adver
tising on which postage is
spent.
Secondly, people are accus
tomed to reading the newspap
er. It is not difficult to get their
attention, as in the case of the
circular letter, the booklet and
other forms of direct mail ad
vertising.
Third, and best of all, it is
timely. The advertiser is able
to appeal to his audience by
frequent advertisments.
All the various forms of ad
vertising are good but the I
newspaper is the one that is j
indispensible in securing quick j
and uniform results.
Just For Fun

thing until after you are mar- ■

Couldn’t you sell it to me 1
cheaper?”
“Sure I could, but I wouldn’t:
make as much profit,”
“But I do not know you, mad-!
am,” said the bank teller in
bis loftiest manner.
The woman was red-headed
and she got “red-headed” in a
minute. She said: “Oh, yes,
you do. I don’t need anyone to
identify me. I’m the red-head- j
ed ‘hen’ next door to you i
whose ‘imps of boys’ are al
ways running across your gar
den. When you started to town
this morning your wife said:
‘Now Henry, if you want a din
ner fit to eat this evening, you
will have to leave me a little
money. I can’t keep this house
on Christian Science'.”
“Here is your money,” inter- j
rupted the paying teller very j
faintly, as he shoved out the
coin.
Business is a funny thing.
The outcome depends on the
income.

Every stenographer knows
that the telephone is^he Fath
