In his paper on Advertising Ourselves

that editors and managers OF country and
city papers make their merits known
through the advertising Of their own ex-

Said Mr. Huse.
Every newspaper should advertise ''Ad-
vertising" he owes that TO the cause
OF advertising IN general. but he benefits
by educating his readers TO believe in ad-
vertising. 10 understand that advertised

lines he increases his advertising patronage
10y increasing results for his advertisers.
Every country newEpaper should sdyer-

farmers and those people living in the
agents realize the vastness of this field
and its buying power. We VIII all bene-

upon advertisers and agents such facts as

BY advertising the small town field IN this

The intimate relationship that exists be
