Hendrix of Kansas City has ar- rived here to preach the baccalaur- eate sermon tomorrow at the: Uni- versity of Arkansas, EXPLANATORY A strong feeling sprang into existenge in the city two years ago in favor of the establishment of.a local daily newspaper, public opinion taking the view that. no stronger expression of our faith in the future could be shown than through the an- nouncement that Medieine Hat had taken her place in this respect alongside the lar- ger centres of population in the West, Yielding to this generally expressed desire and to hearty promises of co-operation and support, and having every confidence ourselves in the expansion and growth which would come in due time, the Weekly News blossomed out as a daily issue. The portion of the community upon which we could draw for advertising support was necessarily. limited and the financing of the venture was therefore no sinecure.. However, a number of fhe business men have loy- ally redeemed their promises of patronage and the News has not yet been forced into liquidation. On the other hand a certain portion of the element to which a-n wspayer could naturally look for support has failed to come-through and in consequence the advertising columns of the News present a very slim appearance indeed, when com- pared with those of the papers in Saskatoon, Regina, Brandon, Moose Jaw, Leth - bridge or NelSon none of which cities can claim a very much larger population than Medicine Hat. This sparseness of advertising has injured the city to a greater or less extent. The News has a fairly wide circulation and when the advertisements of the business men do not appear, unfavorable inferences are drawn regarding the size nd enterpri: ik ising in the columns of the News is one of the factors responsible for the invasion of this city by fifteen business and pro- fessional men who propose to occupy the new Arcade on Main Street. They think that ae busin ss is here and that by spending money in advertising they will get a share of it. : 2 ae The attitude of some of the local business men, who.do-not see their way to ad- vertise regularly, is that the field is not large enough to guarantee commensurate returns. Others again take the stand that if they start in on an advertising cam- paign their opposition will do likewise and the result will be that neither will in- erease their sales but both will be out the cost of the advertising. The latter view of the situation has a monopolistic tinge to it, which will-pre- sumably right itself with the infusion of new blood into merchantile circles. lt; As the business-section grows-the-opposition in the various lines will not be so easy to control. Concerning the opinion that the field is not large.enough to warrant much money being spent in advertising, we find the reply in the applications for space which are Sonate, being received from departmental stores in the large cities. The News has repeatedly advertising in the Medicine Hat papers, why cannot such returns be secured by Medi- cine Hat merchants if they advertise? We are convinced that they can be secured, put the difficulty lies in convincing the other fellow. The furniture dealers, to quote a conerete example, do not think that it will pay them to advertise regularly in the News. A Calgary firm is quite sure that results can be obtained if they take a space in the-paper, We have given them fist space. Surely if the Medicine Hat furniture men think that the space is of no value to them they can have no objection to some one else using it? In asking the local furniture men to spend money in advertising, the News was not asking for charity.. We believed that they would get full value for their outlay. We wish.to demonstrate that.there is value in advertising. How better can this be-done than by accepting an advertisement from a Calgary firm and awaiting the outcome. The News learned this morning of one result. There isa gentleman in the city who will have oceasion in a short time to place an order for from 5,000 to 7,000 worth of furniture. He has today written away to get prices from the-Calgary firm, as their advertisement appealed to him. And then it is said that advertising doesn t pay. The News has not taken this step without due consideration. Mr. J. C. Bever- idge has no objection to the advertisement of the Calgary firm appearing.. Mr. OLA. Long is not in the ity at present, Mr. J. J. Moore is strongly opposed. Personally we believe Mr. Moore is taking the correct: view of the situation. We are afraid that if the Calgary firm advertises an attractive list of prices,.many residents of the city and in the surrounding country will send away their orders without waiting to make a local comparison. We would much rather. publish the advertisements of the jJocal dealers, but if they do not see it*our way what is there to do about.it? What would happen to the News if all the merchants took the same view of the situation? Tf the city is to have a dailv paper it must have support otherwise it cannot live. There is another phase of the question to which the News will refer in a day or two. if events transpire ag we anticipate.
