'rHE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVIL~.~E, THURSDAY, FF~BRUARY 11, 1926 PAGE TERUE s What Happens After the Fire? An analysis recently made of 100 business fires show that 43 Per Cent of the concerne affected did not resume business after the fire. 14 Per Cent suffered a reduction of from 30 to 67 per cent in credit rating. 17 Per Cent published financial statements before the fire but no longer do so. 26 Per Cent were unaffected as to credit rating. With haîf a million fires and over haif a billion dollars in direct money fire loss annually no man is justified in believing that he will neyer have a fire. The only safe way is to prepare-through ade- quate and modern fire prevention methods. We can give you expert assistance on both. J. J.

(Centinued frein lat page) gard religion as a going contern, as fully solvent and ablo' te pay divi- dends on tbe investment, and I would run the churcb on that basis, or I would net run it at ail. Certainly 1 would net -regard the church as a bankrupt cencern depending for its publicity on the gratuitios of the press. If I were a doctor I would advcr- tise my skill. If 1 had net skill te advertise I would get a hec and develop my muscles in manual eni- ployment. I would net taise the question of ctbics on paid advertis- in.g and accopt with deiight advor- tising which is free. It is nover un- ethical te, pay for nibat you get. Tbe docter nibo cannot sense the incen- eistency of bis attitude lacks per- spective. Tbe press advertises the doctor free £romi the tume heoDoens his office witbout a patient until ho la planted in the local cemetcry, and then givos him a free obituary, kind- ly refraining tm mentioning the fact that bis demise was due te tak- ing, or net taking, bis ewn medicine. If I were a banker I should adver- tise freely i the local pre. The. banker deals in moneys and credits and be knows tbat an editor with a depesit le preferable te one who ila a cbronic barronier. He also knows that without the newspaper the weeds would grow ni the city stroots, and that the average cemmuniby doos net make its moncy eut of weeds.' If I wcre a merchant I would eitb- or advertise ar get off the atreet. Tbere la ne excuse for any man ta. settie down in a town wbicb bas been built up by the boosting of a newspaper, and there absorb, like a spenge, the trade and patronage brougbt te town by the live mer- chants nibo do advertise. In these tâmes of high pressure ne business can succeed witbaut advertising. The maxn wbo neglecta bis publi- city invites the sheriff and the spid- er. Sooner or later bath find the store et the man nibe dees nat ad- vertiso. This type of merrbant is boing relcgated te the oblivien be deserves by the grewtb et the mail order bouse which merely capitalizos the ignoranjce of the amaîl town mer- chant who refuses to advertisc. If I nicre a member of the Chamn- ber of Commerce I would not ask thc newspaper te do ail the cemrnunity boosting froe of charge. The com- munity ougbt te pay its way. It ia a peor neighborbood that depends for its growth and dovelopnient an the exploitation of the nowapapcr and the periodical raids upon its space. As space is the only thing the newspaper bas to seli, I should inist on the chaniber buying it and paying for it like any other going cencern. if I niere i. club nioman -I would see te it that my obligations ta the newspaper niore diacbarged witb gcrupulous regard te reciprocal bal- ance. I would sec te it that the newepaper which carried niy prepa- ganda, whicb exploited my waros witb lavish disregard for the value ot space, secured wbat little jobs of printing I bad te bestoni without en- tering into competîtion with the alley job printer niho could by ne pposi- bility render me sucb service. If I niere simply the resident of a community without profession or callîng, 1 sh4uld first recegnize tbe tact that the newspaper la my most hopoful ally, my community depend- ence, my civic partner, and I should niake it a point te get acquainted with the editor, say a good word oc- casienally, and lot hn knaw that as a member of the cornrunity I appreciated bis good work, recegniz- cd bis difficulties and sympathized wit'h bis efforts at conimunity up- building. I sbould nat regard the umal amount I paid hlm for subscription as a xnortgage on bis plant, nor that tho editor was under obligations te join my aide in a local centreversy. I sheuld tbink twice befare I stop- ped my subscription because I sani semetblng in the paper I did neti like, or because I received a notice that my subscription nias in arrears. TIhe obligations of a cemmunity te its newspaper are iust as definite, just as fixed and i,..nutalble, just asi imperative, as the obligations af the mewspaper to the cemmunity. The relations are mutual and reciprecal.
