seem good economy, but the result declares otherwise, for it was found that the rates had been cut continually in order to secure an advertisement that might not otherwise have been obtained. This practice is eminently vicious, for it pays no heed to the future, caring only for present needs, and a business conducted on such a basis cannot endure. This year, we are happy to say, every man has paid the same price, and offers to take space at a cut rate have been refused. This has not always been easy, for every cent counts; but in order to build for the future, the principle has been rigidly adhered to. The present manager has tried to do nothing that would embarrass his successor. It is up to you who are coming to see that this policy is maintained.
