An amusing incident occurred in
the court room at Juneau recently,
when a witness for the defense in the
case of a man charged with the ille
gal sale of liquor fell asleep in his
chair and commenced to talk in his
sleep just as the court commenced to
instruct the jury. The court stopped
and the sleeping man very audibly
stated: “Oh, they'll get him yet; it
is only a matter of time.”

The mayor of Anchorage has or
dered all dealers to store gasoline in
an area outside the city during the
winter months to eliminate danger
from fire. The Anchorage merchants
had stocked up with thousands of gal
lons of the inflammable fluid, and if
a blaze had started a disastrous ex
plosion would have occurred. The
' iw will he rigidly enforced, any mer
chant found with over one day's sup
ply being prosecuted.

Advertising
Surely
Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.
as " ■' ■ —■ ■ I
Keep ITour
Name ‘Before
The Public.
i
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don t make this
grievous mistake.
The public is hckle. || 11
The public is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished” it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established” as
most enterprises.
Don’t Be a j
Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t ciy that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
The results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
