THERE’S NO REASON FOR
HARD TIMES HERE.
The editor of this paper believes a
success can be made of most any line of
business endeavor in Marble, provided,
first, that the party starting it has some
gray matter to begin with, and, second,
that he knows how to apply his brains
to the matter in hand. Those people
who spend most of their time crying
about hard times get no sympathy from
us. The money is in Marble, that’s sure.
The thing to do is to find a way to coax
it out of the old socks it is hidden in.
The Colorado-Yule Marble company
has been paying out all the way from
$30,000 to $60,000 in payrolls here every
month for the last two years. When*
is all this money? Didn’t some of you
local merchants get your fair share of
it? If not, why not? Surely you were
not charging so much for your goods
that the money went into some other
merchant’s pocket.
It seems to us like it is a simple case
of a merchant putting his intelligence
to work to coax idle money out into cir
culation. If you have not succeeded in
doing this with the old plans, try new
ones. Keep hammering away all the
time at some device for getting this
money into your store. And, above all
things, don’t sit calmly down in your
store, quit advertising to save expenses,
and expect to see any business come in
your cobwebbed front door. That sort
of business is poor business and it leads
to bankruptcy.
The stores that do the biggest busi
ness in any town are the ones that do
the constant advertising. It is so in
Marble and it is so everywhere. You
don’t hear any of the big advertisers,
the constant advertisers, in The Boost
er kicking about business do you?
There’s Williams Brothers, and Hen
ry Mertens, and the Marble Trading
company; ever hear them kicking about
business being poor? And, in fact, you
know they are all doing well. They are
all of them constant advertisers in The
Booster. That’s a significant fact, to
say the least, and it’s worth studying
over. And, on the other hand, the mer
chants who are always crying hard
times are those who do not advertise in
The Booster. And, that’s significant,
also.
There are other things besides adver
tising that are necessary to make a suc
cess of your business, of course. One
main thing is to attend to it. No busi
ness will run itself. How long do you
think the C. Y. M. company would last
without Mr. Manning, or some other
equally capable man, at the head of it?
Every man in business here should
thoroughly understand his store and
what’s in it. And, the overhead expense
should be carefully watched so that the
prices asked may be right. Otherwise
— if prices are not right—no matter how
much you advertise or how hard you
work, you can’t fool the buyers tor very
long at a time.
OBSERVATIONS BY THE EDITOR
ON TRIP TO DENVER
Denver’s traffic cops now have regu
lation “stop” and “go” signs which
they use to control the traffic, and it is
a big improvement over the old go-as
you-please method.
On Curtis street, in the doorway of a
saloon, we observed a big, sleek Mal
tese cat daydreaming in the sun. Care
fully tied around its body was a banner
of white oilcloth, neatly lettered in
black, * ‘On J anuary 1st I lose my home. ’ ’
People were collected in rows five or
six deep around that poor pussy every
time we passed along there.
We called at the passenger depart
ment offices of the Denver & Rio Grande
railway and had a chat with Mr. Towne,
who has charge of all the advertising
and publicity work of the railroad. At

first glance, you'd take Mr. Towne’s
office desk for that of a country editor.
Piled on its top were the late numbers
of several printer’s magazines, also sev
eral type specimen books from type
founders, and various cuts, mounted
and unmounted. Mr. Towne studies his
business of preparing copy for newspa
pers, and, with the aid of specimen
books and trade magazines, he is en
abled to make tasty selections of ma
terials and designs.
In the Isis moving picture theater on
Curtis street has lately been installed
an immensely costly pipe organ and
two musicians have been imported from
New York to play it, taking turns at it.
Both these musicians are worth the big
salaries they draw, not only as musi
cians, but because they are so clever at
interpolating catchy bits that just fit a
particular scene in the picture. For in
stance, in one picture we saw, there
was a scene where a donkey was bear
ing an old woman up a hill. The organ
ist played a strain from “It’s a Long
Way to Tipperary. ” Then, at the top
of a hill, the donkey bucked the old
woman off and let out a hee haw. The
organist caught that hee haw as per
fectly on the organ as if it came from
a live donkey. Finally the old woman
mounted again and the organist played
a strain from “Onward, Christian Sol
dier.” These bits were all interpolated
during the playing of a concert piece on
the organ and without interrupting the
progress of the concert number only for
a moment—just long enough for the au
dience to catch it.
COUGHS THAT ARE STOPPED!
Careful people see that they are
stopped. Dr. King’s New Discovery is
a remedy of tried merit. It has held
its own on the market for 46 years.
Youth and old age testify to its sooth
ing and healing qualities. Pneumonia
and lung troubles are ofteu caused by
delay of treatment. Dr. King’s New
Discovery stops those hacking coughs
and relieves la grippe tendencies.

D Connecting the Towns =
A town without adequate local telephone service is handicapped in the promo
tion of local commercial and social activities.
Likewise, without Long Distance connections, it suffers a severe handicap in
its commercial and social relations with other communities.
Every business community is entitled to this modern and popular means of
transmitting intelligence.
In the very nature of our business, and under our charter obligations, it is the
duty of this company to afford facilities for Long Distance communication, so
far rs our ability may permit.
We must do this, notwithstanding that the towns are often separated by rug
ged mountain ranges, and the cost of construction and maintenance is enor
mous.
And every town connected helps to round out our system, thus adding to the
value of the service.
