Without ciiKtoiiiira the ndvei biisiriesH, so hi advertises It o attract cus-toii There arc two side to every question. " Tliis is just hh true in advertising as in an argument. In advertising there' is the side of thp advertiser and the side of the public. 'From the viewpoint of the advertiser in the newspaper, advertising advertis-ing is a meansj of increasing luis volume of businesw. (Vuiimercial de- fssary to retail business as lvertiser could not renwiin m customers. " , The other side of thjquestion is that of the public. To the public newspaper advertising means the bringing of the store s-how eases to the ollice and living room, it is a service extended to tin public y the advertiser, because it aids the customer in ascertaining where that which is wanted rait be purchased at the moKt. advantageous price. .Newspaper advertising has abolished shop-searching. To save time for the shopper lengthens hit day. I So although there are two sides to newspaper advertising, there w no disagreement between the two. Finding that advertising serves the public as well as business the merchant has two reasons instead of one for advertising, and the customer learns that the most progressive progres-sive merchants are thp limst extensive advertisers, so there is a double attraction. By the nature of business, if advertising didn't help the buying public it could not help the advertiser. Excavators at I'r'of the Chaldees hope .to find the original story cf the. creation.

It has been more or less evident to a few citizens that the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad contemplates construction construc-tion of a switch Into the Chlpman lumber and coal yard. The switch, ss planned, would take off from1 where th one leadlnr Into the depot now Is.

Telephone 173-w American Fork, Utah has always been odioua to the city and people traveling through. The cars used for passenger service are ruinous to the comfort of a passenger, and the rumliling, rattling, squeaking freight trains are a nusianre to business busi-ness by day and an annoyance to sleep by night Now this sania railroad contemplates contem-plates construction of more tracks on the main street of American Fork. Is it fair to the appearance, business and safety of-this community thajt such a railroad aa the Salt Lake and Utah should be given full reins to go ahead and do as they please with something they paid nothing for? Withoyjt a doubt, the Orem official. will promise many things conrerning the construction and upkwp of h. intended switch,' but in spite of their most sincere promises,' there wil! hardly be one practical feature in the plan. The Salt Lake and Utah Railroad .it present, is financially Incapable of building and repairing, which is more reason- why they should be "prevent 'ft from accepting more privileces and gifts. A bankrupt corporation minting mint-ing privileges to make itself lhorf "f a nusiance to American Fork is beyond all bounds of reason, to say nothing of the welfare of the community. It is needless for the writer to offer more evidence in proof of the fm t that the Orem should be met with vigorous protest against construct ing the switch all a person has to do is use his eyes, ftnd behold the re:i sons why American Fork should cease tolerating the whims of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad. Th people of this fair city should, get together to-gether and eitend their interest's to such a degree as to force American Tck'"tO'bVAmeVicVn"irS)rk for American Ameri-can Fork henceforth and forewr. stopping the schemes of preditory interests in-terests from fruition and sponsoring the schemes of honest people and representative government.
