The ARGUS is the best advertising
medium in this part of Illinois, simply
because it is read by more persons than
any other paper. Merchants who are
trying to catch the public eye by paste
board signs and an occasional three line
: local notice in the papers, will bemoan
) the hard times and the dizziness of trade,
while their enterprising neighbOr tells the
, people every day throu Ii the newspapers
: what he has to offer them, and when they
: go shopping that merchants store is the
place they visit first and generally ex>
change their money for his goods Now
is the season of the year when prepara>
E tons must lie made for the holiday trade,
d and to secure your share of it, my con
sentative, slow going, semi occasional adj
] yertiser, you must advertise in the news,
papers. Therefore, if you want the most
for your money, let your light shine
through the columns of the ARGUS.
