THE "ADS" TELL
Advertisement^ are much trusted I
and mucu followed by a very large ,
part, of the people of Skagway, ana
all other American towns snd cities. 1
if it were not eo they would not!
be printed. They could not be pub
lished, It would not pay.
The minority.; that • .affects or
feels iudiffereuce to what is told
in the newspapers about bargains
for shoppers, and all other store
uewa of the day, la so outweighed
aud outnumbered that it must
take the burden of proving its
case. The presumption ig in favor
of the belief of the great majority,
the practice which prevails.
To disprove th« cas<j for adver
tising is impossible for various
reasons, the most patent of which J
is that It would convtct the best J
business meu of laeapacity and
snow that the most successful
stores are run by owners and man
ners lacking in sound judgment.
And that is aa absurdity.
So true is this general rule that
it makes newspaper "ads" tell
much more than the store news of
the day. It makes them a search
ing test of the competent and in
telligence of those wht control
the retail stores of any city.
The stores which advertise, care
fully, freely, with, pergi3terce and
breadth are iiv. the strongest and
safest hands. . They are run by
the ablest people. Naturally, the
best managers mean, the best. 6locks
of merchandise and the best facili
ties, in every sense, (jt the ac
commodation of customer
This logical conclusion is sup
ported and verified by the actual
conditions existing ln ail of the
if rent cities of America and all
otuer advanced countries. The
stores most advertised are the best
stores. They get the bulk of the
business, aud they earn it.

newspapers. In lb® holiday season,
leu their message for all seasons.
They measure Use. quality of the
business houses iu every city. They
test the liberality, foresight, pro
i^ressivenesa and euterpilsc of those
who manage them.
And because of this superiori
ty in sy>re owners and store man
agers who advertise—u rule which
bag only enough exceptions to put
it to the proof and demonstrate its
truth—the news of the business
day which they tell is a very good
guide for shoppers. The more they
hava need of saving time and
strength the greater the advan
tage which they find in taking the
short road to the good they seek
and the bargains they hope for.
Common sense and experience
alike attest the truth cf this plain
statement of the importance of the
newspaper "ads" in the holiday
season and at all times.
SATURDAY'S F1KK
While the disastrous conflagration
at the Skagway docks on Saturday
*>if?ht cannot be classed a* a case
of "locking the door after the horse
hag been stolen," it Is an illustra
tion oi how another adagj may be
paraphrased to apply locally in a
region where the wind blows almost
continually at this time of the year
from either the north or the south,
and with a force that sets at naught
the puny efforts of man to check
the ravages of fire when once W»ll
under way, and that is "Eternal vig
Ilance is the price of comparative
safety from the danger of fire."
As in the case of the tire at
Mcore's wharf which, under ordinar
circumstances could have easily
been extinguished by the application
of one of "the two chemical appli
ances that were promptly used by
the nightwatclunan, but without
avail on accou^ of the high wind
that was sweeping down from the
north, even the tiniest spark may
be almost instantly fanned into un
conquerable form if it happens to
light in materials sufficiently inflam
mable.
Hence, we say tliat property own
ers should use every precaution to
protect themselves from possible
chanca of loss by fire, as the on©
the dock fully demonstrated the
extreme danger that constantly
threatens from tbe exceeding dry
ness of the material ef which
buildings In Skagvyay are construct

Phladelphiia, Dec. 14—Althoug
Philadelphians have already contri
buted a cargo of Christmas gifts
for the war orphans of Europe and
donated over $20,000 to the R§S
Cross for relief work on the battle
fields, the first large-scale endeav
or to assist the victims of the Eu
ropean conflict—both the poor in
th;s country and abroad,—was
launched here today by the Emer
gency Aid committee when a three
day fete opened at Horticultural hal
Many products "made in Ameri
ca" and donated or secured at cost
prices, were put on sale. That the
campaign would be international in
scope, a booth-of-nations, containing
products of all foreign countries,

over by representatives of the vari
ous consulates.
Part of the money received from
the sale of "made in America" pro

GOT HIS HAIR BACK.
Was Perfectly Bald When He Started
Co Use Xenbro'i Herplclde .
Frederick Manuell, Maryland block,
Butte. Montana, bought a bottle of New
bro's Herplclde, April 6, '39, and began to
use It for entire baldness. The hair fol
licles In Ms scalp were not dead and In
!0 days he had hair all over his head.
On July 2 he writes, "and today my hair
Is as thick and luxuriant as any one
could wish." Newbro's Herplclde works
on an old principle and with a now dis
covery—destroy the cause and you re
move the effect. Herplclde destroys the
germ that causes dandruff, falling hair,
and finally baldness, so that with the
cause gone the effect cannot remain.

jrowth starts. Sold by leading
