Compared With HandbiIIs,

A newspaper has 5000 readers
for each 1000 subscribers. A
merchant who puts out 1000
handbiIIs gets possibly 800 or 400
people to read that is. if the
boy who is trusted to distribute
them does not chuck them under
tie sidewalk. The handbills cost
as much as half column adver-
tisment in the home paper. All
the women and girls and half the
men and boys read the advertise
ments. Result: The merchant
who uses the newspaper has 3, 800
more readers to each 200 of the

timoting the amount of business
that advertising does BRING to Il
merchant, but each dollar brings
somewhere from $50 to 800
