You Read the
Other Fellow’s Ad
You are reading this one.
That should convince you
that advertising in these
columns is a profitable
proposition; that it will
bring business to your
store. The fact that the
other fellow advertises is '■
probably the reason he is
getting more business than
is falling to you. Would

thing new is a proposition that ap
parently never enters the minds of
those whom the matter might con
cern. Why should there not be an
occasional bid by outsiders for the
right to build or introduce new
enterprises in the limits of Augus
ta ? It certainly cannot be that
there are no natural advantages,
for the location affords the best of
transportation facilities, if they
were only opened up. Not only
does she offer that, but the coun
try surrounding the town is of
that quality and nature that would
support a great deal more enter
prises than it does at present. As
an example of the indifference of
our citizens, we mention the fact
that only a short time ago there
was a man in our city looking for
a location for a brick and tile fac
tory, and as far as we have been
able to learn, the gentleman must
have met with a cold water deal.
Can it be that the people here have
become so deep rooted in their sel
fish indifference and allowed such
a lethargy to come over them that
they will always sleep on their
rights as far as prosperity is con
cerned? More enterprises means
more people in the town and of
course more money put in circula
tion.
Lawyers stand up in court
houses before jurors, in the pres
ence of large audiences, and de
nounce men as liars, scoundrels,
thieves and perjured villians, and
when court adjourns the men ap
pear to harbor no ill will against
them. But let a newspaper faint
ly intimate that a man’s character
is blemished, and he has to con
front a horse whip, pistol, stand a
libel suit or suffer what the people
think to be the greatest of all mor
tifications—lose a subscriber.
Blame your doctor for your
bodily ills, lawyer for your losses,
cook for your stomach, children
for your bad temper, wife for ail
else that goes wiong, and then if
you run out of adlisaries, sum it
all up and jump onto your news
paper as it is generally responsi
ble for all wrongs in sight, and a
thousand imaginaries of a pessi
mistic individual. An editor can
stand more than all the rest of the
human family, and then come up
smiling for more worlds to con
quer. He is generally right and !
you like him just the same.
