Show V To The ESualnass Men. B The present editor lins conducted the destiny of this paper BS for the put three mouth under very peculiar circuttMtauces, and HM ha tried to give the people the best paper possible with the lim- V itcd nicaiH nt our comumnd, and will continue doing so for some B time to come, and we wish to nsk the business men, alto the V mayor and city council a few questions, Hh ist Are you interested enough in this your borne and HV county paper, to advertise in it, and help make it a credit to H your beautiful city? H and Doe this paper help this town and could you afford to H be without a jmpcr? H 3rd How many of you Mini to other parts for priutiug just H because it might (?) be a little cheaper? H 4th Cntididlv ipenWIng, don't you think that all notice' to H the public by the city or any of its officers, should be published B in the paper instead of tycwriltcu notices xsted on a tree, a H bam or and old vj:anl building where nobody ever sees them' H The reason we asked the foregoing questions is this: We Hj haven't done $30.00 worth of city printing aud job work for the H biiines uich of Coalville since we took bold of this paper. Ont- H side of tlie county printing, we have practically done nothing. H How much longer thit state of nffiirs will Inst we are unable to H say, but there appears to be one thing certain that either the H business men do not use printed stationery or they send to other H parts for it. Kvery dollar tli.a is sent out of town you mint re- H member makes the town that much poorer, ami you can get H the work done here just as good m any other part of the state. B What helps us helps the town. We buy everything that can be H bought here. You never heard of an editor sending to n mail- HI order or any other outside couccrn for his groceries, clothing, BV etc. Why then should you send away? Along this same line we will give any merchant in this city Bb that can prove that a laboring man from Salt Lake or Ogdcit has Bh ever made several trips to his store to purchase his supplies, we Bb will give them a full page advertisement in this paper. There's n chance to get n free ad. BB Now, gentlemen, here's the proposition: Throw everything BB this way; we'll do our part in building up your beautiful city BK. and county; proclaim to the world the beauties and resources of BBv our county. When bids arc wanted of any kind, advertise them, V thereby Crcatfllg'coiupoWtidii, and Jou'JI more than nvo what B little it costs you to advertise. The city will want someone to B sprinkle the streets, the commissioners will want bids on a jail BK building, your school district is going to build a school house, BB in fact there's a hundred ways that you can save the people BK money and at the same time build up your home paper. BB These things arc very vital and essential to the building up B of n newspaper. Of course we haye had some advertising, but B not what we should have. Just barely enough to pay the cost of BB running the office. A good many more could afford to advertise, BB and we arc sure that it will pay them. In looking over the paper, BB which, by the way. is an index of the city, you wouldn't know B that we have meat markets, restaurants, bakery shops, lawyers, BB a jewelry stotc, blacksmith shops, carpenters, contractors and B builders, livery stables, aud a good many other enterprises and BB professions. BB Why then, not advertise your wares, your piofessious, your BB skill? Let prospective investors and outsiders know we have BB these things. No one will invest in a town where the citizens BB are not enterprising enough to advertise what wc have and what BB BB Now that sprlug is hcie let us all get out and putt together BB and build up this town to the rank where she should be, and no BB longer continue to be as one of our prominent young men said BB th.it "we were away back in Abraham' slime" behind the test of J of the untv seats of the state. |
