Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1883-10-29

Madison Cowles has let the farm
which he advertised last week in the
MONITOR. He wrote the editor on
Saturday, "Please discontinue my
ad. Farm To Let / have been
completely over run with applications
since Monday,-don't want to see
any more"
THE above shows fact that many farmers and
other do not fully understand and appreciate,
viz That small advertisement costing from seven
ty-ive cents three dollars will do more to-
ward affecting sales, making trades, supplying wants
etc, than a man could do unaided in a year. This
we not for the purpose of soliciting business Ill
this line at present. for we would gladly rid col
umns of the present burden of advertising, but for
the information of our local patrons. During the
fall we have advertised more largely than usual,
farms, mill property, ''To Lett To Rent, etc. and
in a majority of instances the adj. has furnished the
customers. As an instance similar to the above, we
remember that man advertised some months ago
'sPigs for Sale,' within the week received card
from the advertiser saying: ''Take out that pig adj
have sold my pigs had men here from miles around
and more postal cards than can answer in aweek'
We should be more than willing to all our adver
Using space in local advertising, giving our mer-
chants and people the advantages that come from
this business, the total exclusion of all medical
ads. Here we will state what we suppose everybody
knows and that is the fact that the local paper at
$3.50 per year, aside from advertising, would not
pay the publisher cent above its cost, hence the
reader let the advertisers furnish the publisher
with his bread and butter, while he, the reader, is
getting his paper at its absolute cost. EDIToR.l
