Editor and Reporters' Telephone LETTER FROM PEACE RIVER 80 Advertising and Circulation Telephone .'. ..... 98 Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY EDITION UNEMPLOYED POSITION 1.40 .02 .25 .15 Tuesday, July 14, 1931 The action of the provincial government has placed the unemployed of the city in a difficult position. Only those who have been in the city less than three months are entitled to relief by the province and the city has no fund on which to draw. Anything it does jn the way of relief is done without authority and with high tax payments due this month it is doubtful if local citizens would support a bylaw just now. What is needed is work for the unemployed and this should be pressed upon the provincial and federal governments with all the force possible. We draw special attention today to the letter sent out by the Boards 6f Trade of the Peace River which is published in full in this paper today. It gives some good arguments why action should be taken at once to provide a western outlet for that part of the country. We expect to refer to this again and hope everyone will keep informed on the situation as viewed by the people of that important spction . of the country. ' . , , HOOVER CAMPAIGN The campaign to re-elect President Hoover has commenced officially although it really has been in progress some time. Also thcJ opposition has been active for many months. From now on however, we may expect to find all political action in the United States based on the forthcoming election campaign. It will be one long play to the galleries with the election over a year hence as the climax. APPEARANCE OF CITY The rebuilding of the local sidewalks by the city has ex-cited c?Ji?Hpab!e remark Visitors see in it a healthy sign and declare it indicates a live town. Some taxpayers fear that it means too heavy a drain on their purses while others are pleased beyonu measure at the work being done. Some do not realize that the work is being paid for under the local improvement plan by the owners of the abutting property and that it is being carried out at their request or with their acquiescence. What is certain is that when it is completed the city will have a smarter appearance than it has ever had before. (By Gee) Horace A. Craig JJR.

T H THE LOAN AND THE NEWSPAPERS A Story of Intelligent Advertising N MAY 11th Premier Bennett announced I.IIC J-'UlIUiilUll VVIl'ViiHwti .uvmw llit objective of $250,000,000. On June 1st the Prime Minister announced that the Loan had been subscribed to the sum of $639,816,500 an over-subscription of two and one-half times. Canadian business men are familiar with the loan. They knew that the Government had' sufficient assurance of large blocks of bonds to guarantee the objective. They knew that the real success of the loan flepended on an over-subscription from the free flow of bonds in private hands all over Canada, which would come forth at the call of the Nation. But even the most opti mistic were hardly prepared for such a successful flotation as the figure Which the' Prime Minister revealed to the country in his budget speech. The Conversion Loan Was not merely a success, it was a success in the largest and widest measure. The degree of response with which the loan was met may be attributed to CANADIAN OOVnuqgWT PONDS THE PREMIOt SECURITY 04 CANADA scores of factors, but one Df the very definite reasons for the smoothness and rapidity of the transaction, the readiness of the public, the lack of question, and the ease with which tens of thousands of small transfers were put through, lies in the application of the force of advertising in the daily newspapers of Canada, o Thi Government carried a series of clear-cut announcements in every daily newspaper 4.1. - T rm j t ' .1 i Tuesday, July l'i j93) - f supplemented by the individual advertisement of banks, bond dealers, and financial houses. The use of other media was inconsequential Nearly all of the expenditure went intothe form of advertising in Canadian daily newspapers. ownMWT e rm DOMINION OF CANADA WM CONYIRSION LOAN aw MitaMiii4i4 m tw mmmm Mi ibkwitkkfiMr a mmm mm mm 4.MfMniiwia Tiflifam imm k.SMMMMfa;t RadsabaMatatMli w mmm m mmm m M Advertising made the work of the Conversion easy! Advertising brought thousands and tens of thousands of small individual investors into the offices of banks, financial brokers and trust companies with their bonds. What newspaper advertising accomplished in this particular instance it is accomplishing day by day for the whole fabric of commerce and industry in Canada. In this Dominion there is no substitute for newspaper advertising. The geographic extent of Canada, its span of provinces extending over the vast breadth of a continent, its scattered population, its trading areas with widely differing business conditions, all tend to make the Canadian daily newspaper the oho universal medium of information and advertising in this country. This is why the newspapers of Canada occupy an outstanding position as the messengers df the Dominion's welfare and progress. This:ia why the successful national advertiser in Canada, without exception, looks upon tho Dominion's skein of daily newspapers as hiaf primary ana indispensable medium. throughout the Dominion.
