'ONI DOLLAR PER YEAH
. - 'l'clephonc No. 22(1.
- . _ . . . . .
- ' ,
- ' . TO ADVERTISERS.
Advertising is in no sense : : a
' , philanthrophic vcntur There
is nothing charitable about it.
1.t is as purely and completely
's\llish as any other business pro-
. posi Hon.
Some business men believe
' - ad-
'that advertising--continuous -
. .
, vertising'-is a judicious in vcst-
men t. Such men arc known to
the buying public not alone by
I their advertismcnts , ' but as well
by the act that they do the
greatest ratio of business in their
locality. 'l'hisis true of every
community. It is true of Falls
Ci t ) ' .
Stop reading' this for a moment
and ask yourself ; who does the
largest l annual business in halls
City ? After you have answered
the question , look over the co : -
nuns of ydur local } papers , and if
' you ; do not tind the namc of that
merchant as an advertiser wc
vxd' will be very much mistaken.
, . . '
. Do not think that h'crtising-
tits-
} and a larg' : : patronage arc mere
coil1cdences : , for they are not.
A large business is the result of
, business judgment of which con-
tin\luus advertising is .ll1 indica-
tion.
tion.On
On hc other hand there are
men who . do not believe that ad-
' , ycrtising- pays. The whole shore
, of business life is lined with the
wrecks of establishments that
, have lived and died acting upon
this th' ? orv.
. . Would you consider John Wan a-
maker a good business man ? Hc
e is the largest advertising merch-
ant in thc world.
\\'ould you consider the i\ation-
al l Bicuit : ; company a successful
institution ? Four years ago it
made a hundred thousand dollar
' 't4 ' contract with the Ayers advertising -
tisil1g' agency of New York and
' in twelve months was compelled
- to build nine new factories to
( supply the demand.
Look over the magazines and
see thc hunlreds of meat busi-
ness enterprises represented in
J
I thc l\'enisments , paying there-
(
.1'01' , in some instances , thc stun of
live hundred dollars a'page. .
Look about you right here in
( ,
. 1' alms City and among the suc-
' ' cesscs and failures read the answer -
y
. swer . to the question , does advertising -
tising- pay.
Start the new year rig-ht.
'l'here is not a local paper that
charges you marc than thc space
is worth to you.
i The Tribune has at the end of
.
.
its first year a few more than one
.thousand Richardson County sub-
scribcrs. There is not a dead
head on the list. This list maybe
he inspected at any time by any reputable -
putable business man who desires
to verify this statcmcnt.
Our charges for advertising
ncxt year will be the same 'as
formerly vi7. . ten cents an inch.
'Ve would be very glad to Have
your contract for the year 11)05.
'Ve believe it would be to our
mutual h'antag'c.

CHRISTMAS.
In the course of human events
we have again reached the day of
peace and good will.
Some will celebrate it by thc
family dinner , some Ly g'oingto
church and sonic by continuing
on their journey to the devil.
Some will have gratitude in
their hearts for another year of
life. Some will add a little to
t1IC' store of human happiness by
caring for some neglected unfor-
tunate. Some may fast , some
will feast and some will get
drunk for of such arc the chiJd-
rcn of mCI1.
Christmas is essentially thc
childrcns < ; ay. Children ' young
and children grown old. 'l ' ime
one who knows best how to ccle-
bra [ e Christmas is the one whose
heart is young , who retains some
tiling of lifes freshness.
For ail of you The Tribune
wishes a merry Christma , and . it
will be merry if you but know
how to celebrate it. Better far
than a merry Christmas is thc
knowledge how to keep thc day
well. r.fay : it hl' said of you that
you possess this knowledge. May
it be truly said of us , and all of
us. And so , as 1'iny 'rim observed -
served , God bless us , every one. "

COMPLIMENT TO ED HOWE
In our last issue : , under thc
caption "gl J.Jowc in a balloon , "
'Ye published all extract which
we thought emanated from Ed
Howc. In this \Ve were mistak-
en. The matter was written by
Ewing Herbert of the Hiawatha
' \ 'orld.Ve ought to have known
Howe could not , have written it.
By crediting him with it we' paid
a very high compljmcnt to Ed I
Howe.
'rHe Lincoln News suggests to
the ensuing legislature that it
instruct 8. J. Burkett as senator
and each of the six congressmen
from the state that the people
want them to follow the presi-
dent in his inter-statc commerce
demands. This should be done.
The - for lower -
fight freight rates
is to be one of the mightiest of
recent times. The desire of the
president to secure for John Doe
of Richardson county the same
rate Armour , Swift , Cudahy and
others arc given hy the railroads
should meet the active co-opera-
tion of every man regardless of
party Of course the rates are
supposed to be the same , but

' 1' h e s c grea t corporations
w h i c h d 0 s u ch a large
amount of shipping are given
every advantage. ' 1'he law is
evaded in many ways. Probably
the most prevalent is for the
railroad company to charge the
legal rate and have the shipper
tile a claim for a specified damage
per car. This claim is always
allowed and is in thc nature of a
rebate , operating to make the
large shipper pay a less rate than
thc small shipper.
Time President believes that the
railroad companies should make
a reasonable profit on frieg-ht
rates , but that if they can afford
to make a rebate to the large
shipper , then they can afford to
reduce their rates a like sum to
the small shippcr. He desires
congress to amend the interstate
commerce law so that the ; com-
mission can en force this reduction.
By all means instruct our senators r
and congressmen to support him 1 ,
in this desirc. " -
