Death of Mrs. Addison.
Mrs. Sophia Addison, one of the
pioneers of this county, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. F. A.
Duxberry, at Waterloo, Iowa, on De
cember 1, at the advanced age of 87
years and nine months.
Mrs. Sophia Addison was born in
England in 1830. While still a young
girl she came to America and was
united in marriage to John H. Addi
son at Chicago in 1856. They came to
this county in the early eighties and
for years were residents of theMineola
country, living in that section until the
death of Mr. Addison some fourteen
years ago. After his death the family
moved to this city where Mrs. Addison
made her home until about a year ago,
since which time she had made her
home with her son, John, near Oppor
tunity, and her daughter at Waterloo.
She leaves the following children to
mourn her death: John C., of Oppor
tunity; Mrs. F. A. Duxberry, of
Waterloo, Iowa; Mrs. F. R. Williams,
of Caledonia, Minn. The remains
were shipped to this city and funeral
services were held in the Presbyterian
church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Long
staff officiating, the remains being in
terred in Protestant cemetery.
Exchange: While soliciting among
business firms in towns and cities every
newspaper man or advertising agent
runs across a fellow occasionally who
informs him that he has “nothing to
advertise.” The plain truth of the
matter is every merchant who expects
to continue in business and who ex
pects to secure his share of the pat
ronage from the trade territory in
which he lives, has something to ad
vertise, and his business large or
small, needs an advertsing stimulant.
The trouble with some merchants they
do not appreciate the value of a news
paper to a community, but fortunately
the majority of them do, and are eager
to take advantage of the opportunity
to communicate with their customers
through its columns. Few weekly
newspapers could survive were it not
for the advertising value of their pub
lication. The local paper goes into
thousand or more homes each week
and is read by more than four times
that number of people. Figure the
cost of sending a circular letter or
even a postal card to as many ad
dresses, not including the work of
writing and mailing them, and you can
readily see that the cost of carrying
a large and attractive ad in the paper
is much less than any other medium
by which your customers can be
reached. Not only this, but the news
paper is kept in the home until every
member of the family has read it over
and over, while a circular letter or post
card usually finds its way to the waste
basket as soon as received. Again:
some of the wealthiest men in the
country today attribute their success
to the liberal use of advertising space
in newspapers. In fact you can not
go into any city but what you will
find that the leading and most success
ful business men spend large sums
yearly for advertising. Advertising
is the foundation of business success
and the wideawake merchant devotes
a great deal of his time to this part of
the business, because he knows that it
pays—and pays well. The merchant
who has goods on the shelf and says
he has “nothing to advertise,” no
doubt has only a slight comprehension
of the part advertising plays in the
business world. In this day and age
competition is sharp in most lines of
trade and in order to meet that com
petition the judicious ana persistent
use of newspaper space should re
ceive first hand consideration.
