Telling a Nation
What's What

New England speaks its mes
sage of mills and factories to
the Great West. The West
tells the East and the South
OF its grain, its fruit, its meats,
and its food-stuffs. The East
and South repeat in turn the
stories OF the products they
make for the good and up-kesp
OF mankind.
Daily. the advertising coll
umns of The Bee and other
good newspapers throughout
the land tell a nation what is
going on-what is being done
while.
Newspaper advertising in
reality, builds cities, puts new
life into localities, and fires
the individual to greater and
better effort In his stride of
progress.
To some this may seem a bit
boastful. But no reader of The
Bee who considers his news
paper advertising seriously can
fail to realize the tremendous
power II exerts, throughout
this community.
Newspaper advertising Is a
national distributor OF facts
and information which none
should neglect. As a most
vital force in the nation IL Is
recognized alike by manufac-
turer, producer. distributor,
merchant, aud the public.
