Don't LEI newspaper circulation fool YOU The
newspaper which has the least power to sell goods
usually makes the oudest shout about circulation.
Don't skip around from one newspaper to another.
Success IN advertising comes from hammering away
at the same crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind Of
readers You want for customers and then stick When
you get things going keep your head A lineup Of
canvassers from competitive newspapers win call
you Immediately and show you by process Of arith-
metc il may be Of geography that they give you
twice the circulation at half the price that whoever
advised you didn't know what he talking about;
that If the paper your advertisement is in actually
pays You their newspapers viii certainly make you a
millionaire
They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches
and you like TO meet them. Each will tell you that
your advertisement is the pretiest thing he
and that your store is perfect GEM But don't. You
can't afford il at least not unless you have sufficient
advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the
newspapers continuously.
An eieht-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring m,ch bigger results than twc-inch adver-
isement in four newspapers

that in due time everybody will hear about you.

You can talk TO a hundred and fifty thousand
