Figuring on the value OF handful al
yertisiag, as compared with the news
paper article, an exchange says: y
newspaper has at least 5000 readers to
1000 subscribers. y merchant who
puts out LOCO handDills gets possibly
800 or 400 people TO read them. The
handbills cost as much as good adver-
tisement i'll his home newspaper. All
the women and boys read the advertise
ments. The merchant who uses the
newspaper has 1900 more readers.
There Is no estimating the amount OF
business that advertising brings 10 mer-
chants, but that each dollar invested
brings good return there is no doubt.
