A good thing for you to remember. as to start As to Advertising The Herald enjoys a liberal advor Using patronage, but we would not have our readers think that we publish all the advertisements that nro ofTerod us for publication. The fact in, we turn down as much advertising as some local papers publish. Of course, this makes a serious cut in the income of the business, but as long as our policy is endorsed by the home patrons of the paper we shall continue it. It is customary with many local papers to cut prices to "foreign" ad vertisers, that is, advertisers outside of their home town. This is done on the theory that anything picked up outside of the town where the paper is published is just that much "velvet." We have steadfastly set ourselves against this policy. We rely piiuci pally upon home merchants for our business, outside of subscriptions. To charge them a higher rate than is charged outside parties we do not be lieve to be compatible with the "square deal" for which The Herald stands. Our readers may have noticed that no proptietary medicine ads are published in this paper. So far we have not found it necessary to refuse to publish them- We simply hold them to our regular rates They are so accustom ed to getting space in local papers for from one-fourth to three-fourths the price charged home merchants that when we refuse to cut prices to them they go elsewhere for their advertising. Some advertising we refuse ut any price, such as the boiler plate stuff sent out by the so-called Merchants & Manufacturers Association of Omaha, etc., and for firms that we know to be irresponsible. It is our intention to favor the busi ness men of Alliance and Box Butte county, in preference to outside parties that have no interest here further than the trade they can secure. We ar&j .. not sure that we can absolutely refnKvl.j. advertising because of location. In the latest issue of the bulletin, "The Postals Laws and Regulations Pertain ing to the Second Class of Mail Mat ter," published by authority of the postmaster general, a list of publica tions that are not entitled to second class entry is given, among which are those "which contain the price lists or advertisements of certain business houses while refusing similar adver tisements from competing houses," We have written the thiid assistant postmaster general, under whose im mediate supervision matters of this kind come, asking for advice whether we can under this rule exclude adver tisements of mail order houses. If the repiy is lavoraoie 10 so aomg, as we hope it will be, we shall decline adver tisements for such houses selling goods that are handled by local business men who advertise in The Herald. We do this for several reasons: In the first place, we believe the home merchants, who ask for their neigh bors' trade through the home paper, are as a iiilc more reliable and their goods more dependable than those at a distance. And there are good reasons for thinking so. The local merchant depends upon building up a permanent trade, and must have a repetition of orders from the same parties, in order to establish a successful business. He deals to a great extent with acquaint, ances. A man disposed to succeed by chicaueiy and selling inferior goods will usually select strangers for his victims. Besides the above, and other reasous which wo could name if space permitted, our observation has led us to believe that usually, it not invari ably, the home merchant will give you better treatment and better goods than the firms that have no interest iu build ing up your home town and its institu tions. Another reason for giving the prefer ence to home advertisers is that we prefer that whatever profit there may be in the trade influenced through the columns of The Herald shall go to those who are helping to build up the town that we are trying to help build up, ana are also Helping to develop the country that we are helping to de velop. During the past year The Her ald has received a liberal patronage from the business men and firms of this citv and county, and we appreci ate 11,. auu snail euueavor 10 snow our appreciation while this patronage con tinues- Proseut indications ate that this patronage will inareftw. Wu have a subscription clientela that makes tho paper an excellent adverti sing medium. While wo could gut plenty of outside advertising, wo do not want it for business that is proper ly represented in our advertising col umns by local mon and firms. Wo charge ton cents per inch, column mea surement, for space except on first page which Is twenty cents. Since the last issue of tho paper, we have re coived from a Council Bluffs lumber firm, an order for a ten inch ad, store olypo plate furnished, to be inserted on any page except tho first, at eleven cents per inch- We are declining the ad for the reason that two reliable local lumber yards are represented in our advertising columns, and wo think there is no necessity for sending to Iowa or any other state for lumber. ; In short, wo ate giving the busititt 'men of this city a "square deal," a better deal on the advertising propo sition than they ever had befotc. Wc .shall continue to favor them so far as wo can without losing our second cIobb mailing privilege which of course wo 'cannot afford to lose, as it would 'mean much additional work and an ad ditional expense of about twelve dol lars per week. We sometimes make 'mistakes, as do most mortals, but wo are willing to acknowledge and rrctify ;tho same. Last week, for instance, an older was received for a thirty-lour inch ad at our regular rate of ten cents per inch per insertion. We preferred to not publish it as it was from a mail order house, but believing we had no authority to refuse it, unless we knew the firm to be irresponsible, wc placed the copy in the hands of the printer. We ackowlcdge our mistake. We should have investigated a standing of the firm before adveitising for them, but in our rush of work, failed to do so in this instance. We supposed at tho me that the firm was responsible, but circumstances have since arisen which cause us to be in doubt in regard to this, and wc wish to put our readers on their guard. We shall continue to accept advertise ments from responsible outside parties whose business does not conflict with that of local advertisers, but hereafter will defer publication until we can sat isfy ourselves as to the responsibility of the parties wishing space. 3 LOCAL PARAGRAPHS uUh Miss May Shrewsbury of Mollring's store was quite sick last week but is able now to attend to her duties.

He informs us that he intends to move to Alliance, and we are sure he will bo welcomed as a resident of our city. Miss Mayme Tyson, who for some time has been bookkeeper for Wallace & Swauson, has resigned her position and will go cast soon, where she has a more lucrative position. By her ac curacy in her work and her kindly ways, Miss Tyson has made many friends who will be sorry to seejier go. S. C.
