WHITE PINE NEWS Published by the WHITE PINE NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY. OHees. East Ely and Ely. Nevada. Entered as second-lass matter November 24. 1908, at the postoffice •t East Ely, Nevada, under the act of congress of March 3. 1879. TERMS Or SUBSCRIPTION. One year (by earner;.flO.OO One mouth (by carrier). 1.00 ■Ingle copies.05 Here is a communication from one who knows, and who a little later will engage in business here, which speaks for itself: EDITOR NEWS: 1 was very much interested, in both the letter from the ‘■Merchant’ also your comments on same • issued Feb. 1st.) Permit me to say that your stand is well taken. This com plaining merchant, in my judgement, has made a very poor and bad argu ment. it is certainly not one which will meet with the approval of an intelligent trading public. “Big ad vertising and loud talk won t do any business without “VALl ES. In my experience of twenty odd years, in merchandising. I found that a vast majority of the people are of the "SHOW ME KIND,” and want what they call for, and if the price is right will bur. The merchants of Ely UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE A FAIR CLASS OF GOODS. AND AT REASONABLE PRICES TOO. BUT THEY DON'T take the proper method of exploiting these facts. they dos t use enough printers ink. Now If for instance, when this it inerant merchant came to town, and advertised his “bum stock.” this complaining home man would have inserted a half page ad in your pa per, telling the public that he is sell ing bran new goods, at lower prices than odd shoddy stuff is being offered for and put the prices opposite the article. I venture to sav, if he had. HE WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN THE OTHER FELLOW WAS ALIVE and neither would the public. This calamity howling about newspapers taking ad vertisemenfg from OUT SIDERS. is rot. Newspapers derive their existence from their ads, and it is up to the home merchant to support them, if they want live papers • and the News, is certainly a live ■wire, i My advice to this merchant, would be t o advertise, and then ad vertise some more. John Wanna maker says “it pays to advertise.”; Merchants who don't use newspaper space, open the door for “Mail order houses” and they hure more than “fake spec ial sales.” And also sell shoddier goods than the rankest bankrupt stock ever thrown on a community. I contend that the man who through advertising sells off a bad lot of goods, is a better business man than the one who has a good stock of merchandise and don't forc ibly tell the people about it. Don't let your light shine under a barrel, brother. “Yours Trulv, "A. ADVERTISER.” MINES AND MINING DECLINE KEEPS ITS GRIP ON THE MARKET DECLINE. No, little one. no soothing hand at retched out yesterday to smooth the aching market brow. Nobody had visions of bubble water and Paris gowns except the cute little bear people, who kept on hammering and shorting. Of course these short ing days bring a reckoning and when they have to buy it is an up day for the market. The bears have had lots of good sounding material to work | with from Washington and are still pressing it. Maybe it w-ill be over done and the President be obliged to issue a message that will halt the 1 untruthful reports. Meantime it looks as if it would be down, down, down ! for quite a little period yet. Some of them steadied a triflle yesterday ! but there was no air of permanency about it. The entire list looks like i a bargain, but it has looked that way ' every day for three weeks, and the ■next day it has been a breezier bar gainy bargain than ever before. Ho* I ever, if you have loose cash that you would like to have get the growing habit, it is certainly a good time to ; BUY stocks: don't margin them. E. W. HL'LSE * CO LKTTEK. Additional declines were the order of yesterday's stock market and there ' a as little of a redeeming feture about it except for those who have been I sitting by with a smile in readiness 1 to “grab the good ones as soon as they hit bottom. ' That the bottom has about been reached, however, is the prevalent opinion among traders and further large declines are not I anticipated. The market has, in the! opinion of market authorities, mere ly been righting itself in preparation for a sure upward movement which j can scarcely be prevented. Ely Cen-1 tral was taken on in the district yes- | ter day, those buying it having im-| plicit faith in their ability to reap! good profits. Ray Central also reach ed a surprisingly low mark and prov ed an attractive buy to many. Giroux and Nevada Con., believed to have reached their lowest levels, were also j strong bidders for local favor and considerable of both was bought. i Colorado and Iron Blossom were i again exceedingly strong and display ed their usual defiant attitude. Trad- i ing on the Salt Lake Exchange was extremely light, however, but bet- i ter things are predicted there by thei Salt Lake mining writers. Summing up the rather delicate market situa tion of the past three weeks, it is safe to say that the righting of the mar ket has been about completed and | there is no need for apprehension as conditions for a general upward movement all along the line were | never more promising. Opportune < times such as these come but seldom J and local traders who have grasped I the situation, will benefit thereby I Map of Ely Copper District' Latest Edition 1910. Size 26x42 inches.
