Most advertisers will tell you that a
newspaper that goes into the home is
worth ten times as much as an advertising
medium as one that goes elsewhere. The
beauty of this theory is that one is ahle
TO reason out for himself the correctness
OF it, II is simply this way: The news
paper that is bought carelessly upon the
street, or is merely a mems newspaper, is
naturally thrown away quickly; and es-
pecially are the advertising columns neg
lected, for the women folks are the
great readers Of advertisements. This.
too, is natural, because it has been care
fully calculated by experts that they spend
nine-tenths, some say 95 per cent even, of
the money that the men folks earn. The
newspaper that woman likes is the good
advertising medium, therefore. And be
cause 1t is a good mems paper also, as
The Times is, does not necessarily make

rounds they decided that their strength
