VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Modern business is a matter of advertising. People no long-;
er follow the ancient custom of going to market to purchase the'
few necessary articles that were required by the family, and
which the merchant may have had exposed upon his shelves or;
tucked away under the counter or behind it in tiers of drawers
that were never opened unless the customer inquired for the
goods that were thus hidden away.
Today, the successful merchant uses the columns of the
newspapers to advertise his wares. He not only tells what he i
has, but illustrates his advertising space with pictures of the!
various articles, either singly or artistically grouped. He gives
prices and faithfully describes each article, so that the reader
may thus* obtain a very clear understanding of what is offered
for sale, its price and, if it is a credit house, the terms and con
ditions of sale.
It is this variety of advertising that has created a demand
for thousands of articles that would not have sold otherwise
than by advertising. Advertising creates a demand for everything
that necessity or inventive genius has or will produce. Advertis
ing calls attention to the goods, causes people to think and to
want the things they see and read of.
Advertising has created a demand that never before existed,
and the demand has set in motion thousands of wheels, given;
employment to thousands of workers and provided them with the
means to purchase the things that were advertised. Thus, the
chain that was started with one link, has grown and lengthened i
until it includes an almost endless number of workers.
Advertising is the manspring of business. It is the creator
of business and the source of a nation’s prosperity. Advertising'
tells the tourist where to go, how to go and how to get the bene
fit of the money he has to spend on his vacation. Advertising:
builds mills, railroads, great industries, and in fact, everything
that enters into the life and prosperity of a nation. It keeps
the trains moving, the ships sailing, the airplanes flying, and
gives employment to millions of people who would otherwise find
existence a problem. Read the advertisements. They are of vit
al importance and may save many dollars in the expenditure
necessary to every household.
BANNER NUMBER
The Mid-Winter Resource edition of the Arizona Republican
was a hummer, one hundred and forty pages of news and adver
tising matter—a record of which any metropolitan daily might
veil be proud. The Republican is miles ahead of all other daily
newspapers published in Arizona and compares favorably with
the big dailies of Los Angeles, Denver and San Francisco. The
veteran editor, Billy Spear, directing head of the news and edi
torial department, has made thousands of friends for the Re
publican with his strong editorials, and clean news items.
This edition of the Republican is the best advertisement
that can be given the state of Arizona, and every citizen who has !
the interest of the state at heart, should purchase one or more I
copies of this number and mail to some acquaintance in another I
state. It might well be termed a “booster edition,” for it is the;
best boost ever given the Baby State. May the Republican con
tinue the good work it is doing for Arizona and the 300,000 in
habitants thereof.
PITY THE POOR EDITOR
A lawyer charges a man $lO for ten minutes’ conversation—
the man insists on paying it. A doctor charges $1 for a pre
scription and the patient says, “Oh, pshaw—is that enough?” An
undertaker conducts a funeral and charges SIOO and he is just
perfectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family. A
man buys a gold brick and apologizes for not having bitten soon
er. An editor walks a mile in the hot sun to get the facts of a
sudden death or wedding or social function and spends three
hours in writing it up and tells lies and praises people till he
hates himself. Then if he makes an insignificant omission or er
ror or charges 5 cents straight for three extra papers he is a
stingy cuss who never gets anything right and charges four
times the price of city papers twice as large. In short he is a
confounded most-any-old-thing and ought to be run out of town.
Talk about the ice man! How would you like to run a newspa
per.—Exchange.
GET A RECEIPT
An Oklahoma editor tells of an old Indian that came into his
office to pay for his paper. The editor took the money, then the
Indian wanted a receipt. The editor tried to talk him out of it.
Mr. Indian insisted on getting the receipt. After making it the
editor wanted to know why he was so persistent about wanting a
receipt. The Indian said: “Me die sometime. Go to big gate
and St. Peter ask if Ibe good Indian. I say yes. He say did you
pay your debts? I say yes. He say did you pay editor for paper?
I say yes. He say, where is receipt ? I no have it. I have to run
all over hell to find you to get receipt."—Cowden (Illinois) Re
flector. ' •

Christmas Gifts Supreme.
The Booker T. Washington Hospital
Relief Club presented the Editor of
The Tribune and his family with a
beauaiful Pyrex baking dish as a
Christmas gift. To say that this gift
was appreciated, only expresses it
mildly. The club has the right idea—
that of giving useful presents, and in
this case one was given that is not
only useful, but ornamental as well.>
Words are inadequate to express our '
thanks, and we wish for the club all I
the success during the year, and j
years to come, that we wish for our
selves.

His Luck Changes.
Mr. Wm. Shannon, senior member
! of the firm of Turner & Shannon.man
agers of the Rackett store, 31 South
j 2nd street, and president of the “Rab
bit Club”, had a streak of bad luck
New Year’s Day. He is known to be
a dead shot on rabbits, and he went
out hunting New Year’s Day and didn’t
get a single rabbit. This is so un
usual for Mr. Shannon that the mem
bers of the “Rabbit Club” requested
the reporter to make note of this bit of'
news in The Tribune. Mr. Shannon Is
chagrinned, flabbergasted, and out- i
done to think that he went hunting
j and never bagged a single rabbit. Its 1 1
, the first time in his life that he has j i
i had such luck. Mr. Shannon told the >:
reporter. Well, there always has to ''
be a “first time” to everything. Cheer I:
up. It might have been worse. 1
