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.” j Florence (Ala.) Times.
