Address , WEEKLY WORLD HERALD Omaha , Nebi Talks on Advertising If any one doubts that a town i largely measured by the character o its newspapers , let him read the fol lowing , mailed to" the Indianola Inde pendent : "I can tell more about th kind of a town you have by seeing i sample copy of your paper than by an other means of information. If you merchants are dead and don't use tin the paper , I do not want to locate in o. near any such town. I have had ex perience with one town like that , am I'll not be caught again if lean 1 e'.p it. ' A good way to head off the mai order houses and especially now ai the holiday season is nearing is tc make liberal use of the advertising columns of the local paper. Let tin public know that you have what thej are ordering from abroad an i juti about as cheap , and certainly the mor ( satisfactory way , because it all matten are not right your dealings are will responsible parties who will make cheir so. There is no more effective waj for checking the tendency of sending away for goods than plenty of attract ive advertising in'the home paper. - Printers Auxiliary. A man who is running a store or has anything to sell and does not know ol any reason why you should buy of him [ ather than of some one"else , is like the man who went hunting and when he saw his game was afraid to shoot foi fear of missing and just simply waited for some one to come along , who was n't afraid to go after his game and gel it or like the fellow who was afraid tc stioot'for the fear of getting shot. If pou have anything you want to sell kvhy not tell the people so. They'll jome to see the merchant who has something to come for.
