Long before the advent of news

through the medium Of the Town
Crier.n
The town crier was q thurman news

mercial interest as well as happenings
of the day.
When a progressive merchant Of
those early days startled the business
world by employing a crier to "cry"
his announcements exclusively, it was
predicted that there could be no fur
ther progress in advertising.
Look at the announcements Of Wild

methods with the feeble attempts of
pioneer business men to obtain public

The old methods, today, look like
trying to eat soup with a fork.
