THE FRANKLIN TRESS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1325 PAGE TWO IE NEWSPAPER HELPS THE TOWN Its Value Is Beyond Estima tion It Is the Mirror as Well as Eye and Mouth piece of a Community. "Old Hurrygraph" (J. A. Robinson, of Durham) contributed the follow ing article on the value of a news paper to the first issue of the Gran ite Falls Times': Every place of impqrtanre, in this busy, bustling age, has its local newspaper. It has long since be come an established fact that a newspaper is the mirror of a thrifty community. It is also the eye and mouthpiece of that community. Pub licity is a great moving force in these times of live commercial activities. A newspaper is not only the most iitelligent force in advertising a town and keeping it on the map, but it is also a telling force between the seller and the buyer. It brings the two together, and thereby creats trade. It is the most economical means of drawing attention to a town as well as the quickest mode of communication between the citizens of a community. Its advertising col umns, where the live, wide-awake business men see the advantage of letting the public know who they are and where they do business, in a fine spirit of liberality, teli the story of a town's various enterpris es. This catches the eye of the pub lic and rivets it upon the town with a live newspaper. Did you ever stop to think, Mr. Business. Man; that in this hurrying age. many people are continually moving about; new, people move in who are not acquainted with the lo cal merchants, the manufacturers, tfie various new, as well as the older inhabitants, and it is regarded by the most successful businesses as the best medium through which to keep their trades constantly before the public. People look in the news papers for . what they want. They haven't time, like in the 'olden days gone by, to walk around and hunt bargains. People are in a hurry. The newspaper carries your trade and invitation into their homes and serves as' a silent salesman in fact, your hdvertisemcnt works for you while you sleep. The advertising advantages of paper to a town is not its only value. The local news, the social gossip, wnicn will De louna in no other paper, creates an . enthusiasm which gives life and energy to a place. 1c helps neighbors to know about the achievements of each other. It stimulates town pride and lets the world know what you are doing. It is as good as a weekly letter from home to those at a dis tance. It gives encouragement and boost to local enterptises they would not otherwise get. The value of a newspaper to a community can hardly be estimated. The faith a town pu,ts into its newspaper is the faith that builds towns. Faith unlocks the door to power. The power of the press tan- not be estimated in words. A -suc cessful paper must have the co-operation ot the community. Every advertiser and every man in busi ness should advertise and every subscriber the maker of a good paper. His patronage in' either case is the life blood of the enterprise. The unity of the whole, behind and backing the publisher, makes the best paper possible in any. commun ity. Put your need ot a good news paper in the hands of faith and its publisher. Faith in the enterprise, and back of that faith a hearty and cheerful patronage. Don't ask how, why or when. Just do your level best for your home town paper, and have an abiding faith, which is the great miracle-worker of the age. Many a place has grown from a mere hamlet to a big thriving town by the efforts of its newspaper, and the faith its citizens had in it, and backed up that faith with co-operation with the publisher.

If this was true in your case it would be true in Bill's and civilization would perish from the face of the earth. There is an old saying, "What you don't know won't hurt you." A greater fallacy was never foisted on humanity. A good many people seem to think that they can "order" their building materials cheaper than they can buy at home. They have heard this stated somewhere as a fact, and they act on it without investigation, We are in business to disprove this rumor. We purchase build ing materials in car lots, and watch the markets for the lowest prices, hence we know we can meet all competition of "ordered" materials and save you money. And in addition you see what you are buying when you trade here. Investigate our facilities for serving you before joining the "orderers." FRANKLIN HARDWARE CO. CUNNINGHAM BUILDING FRANKLIN, N. C.
