The Hartford Conrant is credited with . good point in reference to advertising which every advertiser should consider It puts it in this way: "Advertising re- quires skill and sense. The paper that goes to reading people, to thinking peo- pl, into homes, into counting rooms, among the customers of merchants, has . clientage that is worth more to the mau who hes something to sell than the paper of accidental sales which is bought for its coupon interest and thrown away ss soon as the coupon is out out. What is that sort of circula- ton good for except to swear to? There's E . difference in people and difference in papers, and the advertiser who doesn't realize this doesn't know his business. '' The coupon business is overdone. It has seen it's best days. The paper that is of value as an advertising medium Is the one that sells for it's real value, not for it's coupons -Ridgefeld Press. = The foregoing is right in line with the sentiments expressed by the editor oi the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEws is his essay entitled '.The Relatioos of the Public to the Editor" read before the Connecticut Weekly Press Association at Hartford, September 29, 1890.
