The\nsecond is to subscribe for the newspaper.\nOur American cousins, who received\nsuch a set-back a few days ago, have\ntheir newspapers in every hamlet and\ntown. They realize the value of a newspaper. They support the home journals\nfor many reasons, and the first one is\n\" that it pays.\" The man who advertises is known; his place of business is\nknown; his wares are known and his\nprices are known. We live in the days\nof \"publicity and competition.\" No\nbusiness man will make a start in a back\nalley; he begins in a good, clean store,\non a business street. That is one way\nof advertising. His wares are the best\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is another way. This is all done\nin the store. He must let the public\nknow that he is in business, and must\nadvertise in the local newspaper. He\nthen looks at the circulation of the paper\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is where the editor and general\npublic comes in. The editor must supply\nreading matter to engage the attention\nof the public, and the subscribers must\nremember that a local newspaper is a\npublic necessity. When you can receive\na newspaper for one year for the small\nsum of two dollars\u00E2\u0080\u0094not the wages of\none day for the poorest paid workmen\non these islands\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is where the\nassistance comes from the readers of\nhome newspapers. I am one of them,\nand here are my two dollars, Mr. Editor.\nI want you and your readers to understand that I am a printer, and know the\nexpense and trouble connected with\npublishing a newspaper, no matter how\nsmall it may be. Two dollars would not\npay for the ink for one publication,\nleaving aside the brains and labor for a\nyear. Two dollars are lessjthan half-a-\nday's pay fort a Union Printer, and we\nthink it an awful sum to have a home\njournal doing our advertising and supplying us with news for a whole year.\nWe want these islands to go ahead;\nnothing can advance them like a newspaper. W.e want our business to succeed,\nno one will know we ever lived if we\ndon't advertise. We want to buy or sell\nsomething. I knew a man in Victoria\nwho had a toy store during my boyhood\ndays ; he has the largest department\nstore in the Province to-day. He advertised then and is the greatest advertiser\nSOCIAL\nAND\nDANCE\nIn aid of the Building Fund for the\nNew Presbyterian Church\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10\nBarges Hall at Eight P.

The local papers were good\nenough for him.\nThen the subscriber: Are the outside\nnewspapers doing anything to make\nthese islands better ? Are the owners\nof outside newspapers boosting you and\nyour business? Do the readers and\nadvertisers realize what a struggle it is\nfor a man to keep a business going that\nrequires constant attention and capital\nto run it. I know what the struggles\nof the early newspaper men were in the\nnow large cities of the Province when I\nwas \"the devil\" under them. They,\nlike our newspaper men, had a hard\ntime paying weekly wages ; but they\n\" stuck to it\" and grew with the towns\nand cities ; but others are reaping the\nbenefit now. I worked under Messrs.\nHiggins, Robson and other pioneer\njournalists in the early days of Vancouver Island, and few remember that\nthey assisted more in advertising British\nColumbia than any other man in the\ncolony days.\nThen advertise, subscribe, do something to assist the great '' developing\nmachine\" on Queen Charlotte Islands.\nThere is nothing to equal a newspaper\nwhen you want anything or require\npeople to know anything. The greatest\nof home industries is a newspaper, and\nfor goodness sake remember that a\ntown is dead that cannot support at\nleast a weekly local publication.\nCumtux.\nHenry Edenshaw's Power Sloop\n\" Josephine w\nUnion Engine 15 H.
