TOWN SHOULD ADVERTISE.
One of the first requisites of a
good business man in this age of
mercantile activity is that he
should understand the art of ad
vertising, says the “World’s
Progress” in the May Four-Track
News.
The same rules that govern
private concerns should govern
the business affairs of cities.
Every civilized town that has in
dustrial aspirations and hopes to
grow and prosper must needs
let the world know what it has
to offer by way of inducements.
Manufacturing enterprises, ed
ucational institutions, business
and professional men are ever
seeking desirable locations, and
it is a noticeable fact that com
paratively few cities and towns
are attracting them. This is be
cause many towns which possess
good water power, good shipping
facilities, good school and resi
dence advantages, lack the life
and enterprise to let the world
know what they possess.
They do not grow because they
are unknown. They are like the
drowsy merchant who doesn’t
think it worth while to advertise,
but prefers to sit and watch the
spiders spin webs across his
doorway.
Every new enterprise that lo
cates in a town adds to the pros
; perity and business possibilities
of every dealer in the place, and
every citizen who has his own
good and the good of the commu
nity at heart should take a hand
in getting his town into touch
with the busy wide awake world.

Time Tells
The Story.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer ofi
the cheap machine soon pays thJ
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing 6f
its annoying inefficiency.
