According to the most successful concerns in the country it does. No matter what you have to sell it pays to tell the public about it. Mail order houses employ no salesmen except printer's ink and if local merchants hope to compete with them they too must ad vertise. We venture the assertion that there is more money in Red Lodge than any town in Montana fur it's size and if all of the money that is sent away for merchandise were spent here at home this would be the most prosperous town in the state. % The buying public is not entirely to blame. The merchants should do their share and ex press a desire for more business and tell the public what they have to offer and that they want more business and will appreciate it. Mr. Merchant, if your business is not what you think it should be maybe it is your fault. Carbon county is one of the richest coun ties in the state. Carbon county has the best coal mines in the states and ranks as one of the best agricultural and stock rais ing counties. If the merchants are not get • ting their share of the business there is something wrong. The buying public and the merchants are not together. They do not understand each other. Why not try advertising in the News? It won't cost much for the experiment We call attention to the J. C. Penney Com pany who started with one small store in Wyoming and now has nearly seven hun dred stores scattered throughout the United States. The success of this company was due to consistent advertising, telling the public what they had for sale. They never conduct special sales. Every week and every day there is a regular sale—they are constantly telling the public about their goods and wares. We do not advocate cut ting prices. Merchants are entitled to a fair profit and must have it to continue in bus iness. We do advocate advertising and we know it pays. The News has the largest circulation of any paper in Carbon county. We want the public to know that we appreciate their pat ronizing the News and we also appreciate it just as much if you will patronize the merch ants who advertise in the News, for it is these merchants who make it possible for the News to exist and enable the editor to continue the work for the community which he has been doing, and which will be com pleted if the merchants and the public want it completed. We cannot continue working for you unless you help us.
