ADVERTISING ALL POWERFFUL
Advertising is one or the most pow
erful forces in modern life.
Without it you would probably eat
very different foods from what you
do now—life in a different kind of
house—wear different kind of clothes.
Advertising has made it possible to
buy oranges from Florida, flour from
Minneapolis, coffee from Brazil, sugar
from Cuba, shoes and textiles from
New England, silk from Japan and
necessities from other parts of the
world.
Advertising has made it possible to
buy these articles cheaply by increas
ing their sale thereby increasing the
quantities produced and lowering the
costs of production and distribution.
Everywhere you turn you will see
advertised articles, which because of
advertising, are sold in large quanti
ties.
Without advertising your life would
not be nearly as it is at present.
Advertising can and will be a pow
erful force for good in America, for
the men who must advertise have
learned that it is a force which must
be carefully guarded for the good of
the people as a whole.
EVERYONE PAYS TAXES.
The man who lives in a rent house
and says he pays no taxes is mistak
en. He does not pay taxes directly,
but he certainly has them included in
his rent. Railroads pay an immense
tax, but they add it on to the fares and
the freight so that people pay the bill
in the end. The idea that men who
do not own property do not pay taxes
or contribute to the support of the
government, to the paving of streets
and other improvements, is errone
ous. They do pay for those things,
and usually their full share. The mer
chant with a stock of goods must add
the taxes to the selling price. Every
man who has a dollar to spend, no
matter whether or not he owns a foot
of ground or a feather bed, contributes
his share of taxes and public improve
ments. Every man pays taxes di
rectly or indirectly.,
MANY TOURISTS ON SOUND
The Pacific Northwest Tourist As
sociation known officially as the Puget
Sound and British Columbia associa
tion reports that as a result of adver
tising more than 250,000 persons vis
ited the Pacific Northwest during the
tourist season just ended. It is esti
mated that the visitors spent $16,
000,000 in the Northwest. Yet the as
sociation, composed of representatives
of Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, Vic
toria, and Vancouver during the past
year had a budget of only $50,000 for
attracting tourists to this section of
the country. On the basis of the show
ing already made there is no regional
investment that will pay larger divi
dends.

THE HOME TOWN PAPER
By John Kelly
“When the evening meal is over an’
the dishes put away,
An’ yu set down to ponder on the
happenin’s of the day,
Comes a peaceful feelin’ o’er you,
brushin’ from your face a frown,
As you scan the weekly paper from
your ol’ home town.
“It tells you all about who’s sick an’
those who come and go,
Likewise the cornin’ vendue at the
farm of Jabez Stowe.
The burnin’ of the cider mill belong
ing to Hub Brown,
Gets a write-up in the paper from the
ol’ home town.
“There ain’t an entertainment or a
meetin’ where they pray
But what I know about it, though I’m
livin’ far away,
If the chicken-pox is ragin’ or the
mumps is goin’ roun’,
I peruse it in the paper from my ol’
home town.
“I read the mornin’ papers an’ the
evenin’ papers, too,
An’ I sometimes pick a novel up an’
sort of swim it through;
But when I want some pabulum, no
where else to be found,
I unwrap the little paper from my ol
home town.
“They say our good an’ bad deeds are
recorded up on high,
So that God can classify us when it
comes our turn to die;
If that be true, I know a man, who’s
goin’ to wrear a crown—
He’s the gent who runs the paper in
my ol’ home town.”
—Chicago Tribune.
