MILLIONS FOR ADVERTISING
Alter the passage of five years, dur
ing which no advertising has beei
done in the name of the firm, tht
Ford Motor Company of Highlanc
Park, will spend $7,000,000 in news
paper and magazine advertising, it
cities and hamlets of the L nitec
States, says the Border Cities Star.
The announcement is significant
and of great interest to the advertis
ing world and the public generally, as
no article manufactured is so familial
in every household as the Ford car
If the Ford Motor Company did noi
consider this good business, the mon
ey would be spent in other ways.
If it is desirable to spend $7,OOO.OOC
in advertising the most widely known
factory product in the world, how de
sirable it must be for others to adver
tise products that are not nearly so
well known.
The Gateway will be included in the
list of Alaskan papers carrying Ford
products advertisements.
HOW YOU CAN HELP YOUR PAPER
Despite the fact that more passen
gers are routed out of Seward for the
port of Seattle, up to the present time
it has been impossible to secure ad
vertising from Seattle firms, especial
ly the hotels. The Hotel Atwood, the
Frye, the Arctic, the Rainier Grand,
and many others are making a good
thing out of Alaska money.
Traveling Sewardites can help this
paper, and other Alaskan papers, b>
asking for a share of Seattle hotel ad
vertising. Seward hotel men as well
as the hotel men of other towns, ad
vertise liberally in outside publica
tions. This is good business. It is
also proper that Seattle hotel men
jniOXIil anrt
advantages for travelers.
UTILIZING WOOD WASTE
Utilizing wood waste from generat
ing gas is claimed by a Swedish saw
mill operator to save 75 per cent of
the fuel used when the chips and saw-j
dust are burned directly under the'
boiler. Added to this economy is a
large production of valuable by-pro
ducts, including acids, wood alcohol,
and tar.
EXPENSES VS. APPEARANCES
Another thing that makes a married
man look that way is the trouble he
has in trying to keep expenses down
while the rest of the family are trying
to keep up appearances.

You would throw up your hands in
holy horror, if anyone suggested that you
swipe a bench from a sckcc I building or pilfer
a single page from a bod of the school's library.
Bui—are your dealings in public school
affairs as honest as you think they are—or perhaps
would like to have others suppose them to be?
They are not —absolutely rot—lf you are spend
ing your money for mai! crd<=r merchandise. You can’t send
a cent of cash out of town for goods that can be bought in town
and support to the greatest possible exrent the public schools.
Every brick in the schools—every book in
the schools’ libraries must be purchased with
school “taxes.” The size of the taxation depends
on the wealth of the community. And the wealth is governed
largely by the earning capacity of the people who live in the
community.
Money sent away from home doesn’t pay
for one minute of home town “labor.” It doesn’t
fill the dinner pail of a single local worker. It
doesn’t enrich home dealers. It doesn't by one word broaden
the knowledge of the children of this town—add to the
attractiveness or comfort of school days.
Money spent ivith local merchants travels in a
Circle. It doesn't go out of circulation when rung up on the
dealer’s cash register—as do mail order dollars when you slip
them into the mail box. The dealer spends it here. It pays the
help back of the counter, who spend it in town for goods they
Use. It assists them in purchasing homes—that can be “taxed "
It goes into more merchandise—and that merchandise is
“taxed.” And it is on taxation, remember, that your
public schools depend.

LOCAL SALMON PACK GOOD i
The local pack of red salmon has|
been shipped outside with the excep-,
tion of a few cases for home consump
tion, This pack was of the choicest
fish and was put up entirely by hand,
by white labor. The product is clean;
and delicious and can be eaten by j
one, with relish. Conditions said to'
prevail in canneries to the westward
are not found here, where cleanliness
was the first requisite. The local pack
is handled by Brown & Hawkins.
