HOME TOWN BUILDER.
The newspapers in the country
towns of the United States are, if
properly used, positively the best sell
ing agents in America. That is a
statement that I have made hereto
fore. I am ready to back it up with
the proof. Right here, however, I
want to go on record with the state
ment that there are millions in money
wasted in this country every year by
manufacturers and merchants who are
reasonably sensible in everything else,
but who do not stop to give thought
to the things they are trying to ac
complish when they place orders for
advertising.
How many know that there is a
difference between advertising for
PUBLICITY and advertising for RE
IN THE SCHOOLS.
The monthly exams are going on
now.
Who says the Freshman girls can
not play football.
The school has got some more saved
for the primary kids.
Freshman and Sophomores played
a game of football Wednesday.
The Sophomores held a class meet
ing Tuesday.
The Glee club failed to hold their
weekly meeting Monday night.
Miss Grierson and Maggie McFad
den went to Kearney Wednesday to
spend Thanksgiving.
Miss Sophia Ladegard was absent
the first part of the week. She went
home last Friday and has not yet re
turned.
Several of the senior girls planned
a vacation trip for last Wednesday.
They believe in celebrating before as
well as after Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving football game
was called off, sorry to say, for we
wanted to see what the Freshman
and Sophomore boys could do when
jthey got together.
Question: Is is better to know that
you do not know a fact or to think
you know it when you dou’t?
Answer: It is better to think you
know it when you don’t because, you
“might” be able to convert the teacher
to your opinion.
The high school pupils are eagerly
anticipating the coming vacation. We
understand that we are to be given
two days to be thankful for. We hope
the pupils and faculty may have re
covered from their Thanksgiving
dinners by November 29th, so that
they may be at school on that day.
A very large number of high school
pupils attended the basket social given
by Miss Grace Adams at the Prairie
Gem school house last Friday even
ing. Also two of the faculty. Miss
Fawthrop and Mr. Kelly, were present.
The conveyances used were autos and
a hay rack. All report a fine program
and many good things to eat.
A large numebr of the members of
the 11th and 12th grades, who are tak
ing normal work, took examinations
at Mr. Currier’s office last week. We
learned while there, that the grades
required for securing teacher’s cer
tificates have been raised, now requir
ing a higher average. This seems to
be a good thing, for the teachers must
be better qualified to meet these re
quirements.
THE CHURCHES.
German Evangelical.
Sunday, Nov. 28th, all members are
urged to be present, Rev. O. Schulze
of Lexington, Missouri, will preach a
guest sermon. After divine services,

pecially the English services.

ment course will be given at the opera

VIC SWANSON S
THE HOUSE OF QUALITY AND LOW PRICE
SULTS? The difference is this:
The advertisement which does not
quote a price is PUBLICITY adver
tising. It never pulls an order.
RESULT advertising is that kind
which quotes prices in every instance.
It is the kind that pulls orders. The
catalogue houses use only ‘'RESULT
GETTING ADVERTISING."
The manufacturers of liver pills and
horse liniment, or the country mer
chant who paints his name on the
road fences are Publicity advertisers.
It is probably safe to say that not one i
per cent-of. those who spend fortunes
every year to keep their names or
their goods before the public know
how to take advantage of the prestige
which their publicity advertising has
created.
Paint the name of Felix Jones & Co.,
St. Louis, Groceries, Boots and Shoes;
on every fence, barn and bulletin
board in the country, or advertise it
in every newspaper in the land, and
it is safe to say that the advertising
would not, of itself, bring Felix Jones
& Co. a single order. The name of
the concern might be made known to
every citizen of the United States,
but that would not, without other as
sistance, sell a single bill of goods, be
cause it is Publicity Advertising. It
is the kind of advertising which 99
out of 100 merchants of our country
towns have always done and are still
doing. They may imagine that they
are following the example set by the
manufacturers of well known brands
of liver pills, compounders of horse
liniments, cough medicines, soothing
syrups, etc., and so they are. But they
do not follow up their Publicity Ad
vertising with result-getters in the
shape of circular letters or personal
solicitations to the retailer. They en
tirely overlook the most important
part of the advertising benefits to
whicii they are entitled for the money
they spend.
There will come a time, I hope,
X
when every graded school in this
country will include a course of prac
tical instructions in advertising, and
I have no doubt but that some of us
will live to see the change which an
intelligent direction of advertising ef
fort, originating in such instructions,
will have on improved business condi
tions of the smaller towns of this
country. That change is sure to
come. These articles are, I believe,
sowing seed which will take root and
flourish long after the author of them
and all of those in the present genera
tion—“have passed into silence and
pathetic dusl.”
When the country merchants are
able to control the bulk of the local
trade to which they are entitled, im
improved business conditions will be
in evidence at once. The simple
method of controlling that trade is the ;
advertising pages of the local news
paper, which should be made the mail
order catalogue of every merchant in
the town.
Many storekeepers hesitate about I
advertising leaders, because of the
fear that a competitor across the
street will Immediately quote lower
prices. That reasoning is wrong. Re
member that famous utterance by one
of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence: “If we do not hang to
gether they will hang us separately.” j
That is the case of the country town
merchants. If they do not pull to
gether and create conditions that will
bring the trade of the surrounding dis
trict to town, the catalogue houses
