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.
The Nebraska State Journal has re-
iuced its price to subscribers outside
) f Lincoln and suburbs from $7.50
; o $5.00 pei year , including the big
Sunday paper , or $4.00 per year with-
> ut Sunday. The price of the Sunday
ssue will be $1.50 per year.
By this action it is presenting its
state readers with * thousands of dollars ,
) ut the result will be thousands of new
iubscribers , thus enlarging its useful-
less and adding to its value as an ad-
rertising medium. Instead of any
essening in the effort to make it a first
ilass State Paper , the Journal will be
mproved in every department , making
t the best paper in the state for Neb
askans. It is published at the State
Capital , which has always been the
enter of things political and social oi
, state nature. The Journal's state
elegraphic service excels that of all
ompetitors which , with its complete
ssociated press reports and special
elegraph service from Washington ,
aake it the paper for Nebraska people.
A.L. Bixby's department is one of
he most widely read in the west , and
he fair and unprejudiced editorial treat
lent of all state matters has made the
ournal thousands of warm friends.
This big reduction in price which
ow makes the six werk day papers
ight cents a week , and the seven day
aper ten cents a week , Trill make the
ournal the most widely read paper
iiroughout Nebraska.
