Vol, XX., No. 222. PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., TUESDAY, SEPT. 24, 1929 PKICE FIVE CENTS EDITORIAL A Talk On Advertising The business that does not advertise dies. It cannot continue. All business men recognize this. Where they differ Is In their method of advertising. For the average store keeper we have always held that the shop window Is the best means of advertising. The person who does not keep hi windows trimmed Is losing his very best opportunity of reaching new customers and new customers must be secured If the business is to continue. Next to the shop window comes the newspaper. This Is not only our opinion, but the opinion of the most astute business men in the world. They all use the newspapers. All hare heard of the outcry In New York a short time ago when the newspapers were forced by striking printers to suspend publication, or Issue only min-ature editions which could not handle the advertising. Th business of the whole city was affected. People look to the newspapers to provide them with the news of the stores which they do for a consideration. Oo Into nine out of ten houses and you find that the woman of the house wishes to look at the store news. Bhe wishes to see what the merchants have to tell her about their special offer ings, their new gJ6tfs,Jor'p6s,H slbly their sales. There Is a general demand for Information and the mer chant who docs not take ad vantage of the opportunity present that information cannot expect to succeed unless he can find some other method of presenting It which Is equally effective and cheap. That other method has not yet been found. There Is yet another reason why business people should advertise and that Is because In order to secure the services of a good newspaper they must support that newspaper. It cannot succeed without advertising. The city without a good newspaper cannot make progress. And there cannot be a good newspaper without advertising. Nearly every business person comes to the newspapers at some time In the course of his existence asking for help for some cause or to put over some campaign. And the curious thing Is that the people who support the newspaper least are the ones who ask for the most favors. Tills newspaper has to advertise and keep eternally at it Bo docs every other live paper. Unfortunately, we have not the means at our command that we offer to the merchant. We have to use other means. We are constantly displaying ourselves before the public, otherwise we should drop back into the second class. This costs us a lot of money, but we do;lt because we know thai (infi advert, tisers will not be satisfied with anything less than the best By giving our advetrlsers very close to 100 coverage of the city and district we make ourselves Indispensable to them. They give us their support and by doing so we are able to Improve our service to them and to the city. It Is a system of mutual helpfulness. Peace River Editor Asks Aid Prince Rupert People to Secure An Outlet to the Pacifick Ocean That the problem of the Peace River country was largely one of marketing and that a railway to Prince Rupert would to a large extent prove the so ution of that problem was the statement made last night by Charles W.

It surely would be something if they could handle the grain, timber and minerals of that great country, which should come by the shortest route to the coast. So far they had been held back by the apathy of the authorities, but they would pierce that apathy and bring about the day when Prince Rupert would become part of the Peace River.

At any rate, there were at least seven million acres In British Columbia of valuable land. "I recently visited Fort St. John and found that settlers were pushing north into the unsurveyed sections of the country and taking their chances on getting the land after It was surveyed," said Mr. Frederick. Mayor Speaks Mayor McMordie, In Introducing the speaker, mentioned that the Peace outlet was of vital Interest to Prince Rupert. At one time the Peace country was a mythical land, but during the past five years Interest in It had become Intense. No agricultural district had been so much discussed as it. Their problem was one of transportation. They had shown that they could raise the best grain in the world and here was the finest harbor In the world and he believed the logical port for that country. He spoke of the delegation that had gone to the Peace and the good work they had done. In Mr. Frederick they had a real friend, who believed Prince Rupert was the logical port. A brief speech was made by Mr. Raymer of Vancouver, who spoke of having been Instrumental in securing many settlers for the Peace River and who had written articles on the country for publication in tire foreign language press of the United States. ,t three hundred CAonway heke'now idSto0Sin -Si reported X today to be on the way from J ffiJSTr. ffiJS X elevator.

It was urged that the present system created trouble among neighbors. Inspector Stuart of Vancouver, who represented the minister of education in the , absence of the latter in the east, . . , said the question of American text- books was an economic one, as sev- cral ministers in his time had found out. They were all loyal Britishers and Canadians, but there was an enormous demand for textbooks In the United States which had attracted the best brains to write and as yet Canada had not attained to that position. A resolution urging that the normal course be extended to two years wai defeated.
