STRAIGHT TALK
TO THE RETAILER


1t is safe to say that almost
every progressive retailer in
CIarksburE will concede the
compelling influence Of the Tel
egram and its ADVERTISING value
as a permanent and helpful bus
mess builder.
Merchants have learned by ac-
tual experience that the quick
est. most convincing and most
profitable way to tell their ad-
vertising news to their patrons
and patrons-to-be is through
the columns Of the best news
papers.
The results obtainable from
newspaper advertising are so
we'll understood and recognized
that the retail merchant low

ranScments for advertising the

The manufacturer gladly lis

who can present a clean-cut adj

manufacturer.

The Clarksburg Exponent says the
payment ofan enormous sum on the
Virginia debt is directly traceable
to Republican rule in Vest Wiz

know as much about the Virginia
debt, its cause and it's effect as q
baby knows of life and death.-Par-
