COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS
COMING INTO THEIR OWN
Advertisers are NeglectIng Magazines
of National Reputation In
Favor OF Local Press

Within the next few years the en-
ire profession of advertising will
undergo complete revision and the
suburban. on 81 called country,
newspaper will be the generally ac-
rcpted medium.
The country newspaper has been
forging ahead in leaps and bounds
while the magazines and other peri
odlcalS that are supposed to accupv
% national field have gone back.
Look nj the number of "leading"
magazine, of International reputation
that have gone ont of business within
I'VE years. And if further evidences
we're needed of change of sentiment
IN regard To advertising and advertis-
ug mediums. one only need to en-
amin, the columns If monthlies today
To find that the space in magazines
occupied by advertising is much
mailer than il was FIVE years ago.
National advertisers are passing up
the magazines; the suburban news
paper j. coming into lis own.
The greatest strides have been
taken hN country newspapers and one
does not have to 90 far to find evil
dcnccs of this. Advertising in the
country newspaper is the most valu-
able advertising in the world for its
cost. Their readers buy everything
that l. for sale; from thread 10 farm
iug implements; from medicine Ia au-
tomohilcS. They buy paint and roof
iug. stoves and lamps, hundreds Of
commodities that the city dweller
never buys,

lays: There Is not community in
Re United States III any one of which
ten or even fifty great American mer.
chants and manufacturers would not
lady hire at high pay . competent.
earnest representative able To talk g.
five hundred or more families.
The country newspaper i the best
of all advertising mediums.
Little by little advertisers will come
{" learn the value of the country
newspaper and very rapidly, let H.
hope, the country editors will come
To learn the value of that which they
have for sale and will demand and
get their share of the national pros
perity, acting AS national industrial

And he was wondrous wise.
He'd salt his extra profits down
To use to advertise.
His advertising brought him biz.
His fame spread far and wide,
And now most half the town is his
