LOCAL PUBLICITY
Merchant Who Won’t Advertise Does
Not Deserve Support, Says
a Farmer.
In an audience composed mostly j
of the members of the Farmers’ Un
ion one of the speakers recently ex
pressed the mutual friendship be
tween the farm and newspaper in the
following:
‘‘As a rule, the farmer has no firm
er friend than the country press. The
i home paper is distinctly the farmer's
own paper, supported directly add in- j
directly by farmers, who compose the !
backbone of the subscription list of
j the printer and largely for what the ;
i enterprising merchant advertises. Now
I brother, let us see that our subscript
ion is paid a year in advance. We
I can do it.
‘‘The man or the paper that fights
my battles shall have my support.
! Another thing, the merchants ad
i vertlslng are the ones that make it
possible for us to get. a good local
: paper. The man or local firm that
is too penurious to advertise and help
' support the local press has no right
!to the farmers’ patronage.
‘‘l promise hereafter to go to the i
' live advertiser and thq man who does,
his share in supporting the local
1 press, thus contributing to my sup
port, rather than buy of a man who
' proposes to take all and give nothing
j back. If farmers as a class would
support their friends, the other fel
low would soon go out of business.”

women gathered In front of Farrill
