The Best Medium.

The local weekly is the best medium
Tor reaching the vast number of people
who live in the small towns and villages.
Advertisers who wish to reach this class
of people should not make the mistake of
supposing that the ground is thoroughly
covered by the big daily and weekly pub
LEGATIONS of the cities. While it is true
that the metropolitan dailies are being
more generally taken than formerly
among country people, it is also true that
they do not receive the careful reading
that is accorded the home paper. The
latter is in some respects like letter.
1t gives the small and insignificant items
of news which are sometimes made the
subject of ridicule, but which are just
what the people want. Where the daily
will be SKINNED over in half hour and
tossed aside, the local weekly will be
passed from one member of the family
to the other and be eagerly read by
each.
