NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, TODAY
Straight Talk
To the Retailer:

1t is safe to say that almost
every progressive retailer in
this community will concede
the compelling influence of the
newspaper and its advertising
value as q permanent and
helpful business builder.
Merchants have learned by
actual experience that the
quickest, most convincing and
most profitable way to tell
their advertising news to their
patrons and patrons to-be is
through the columns of the
best newspapers.
The results obtainable from
newspaper advertising are so
we'll understood and recog-
nized that the retail merchant
now expects and demands
of the manufacturer, whose
special brands of merchandise
he sells, cooperation, assist
ance and arrangements for ad-
vertising the manufacturers

the capitalists resolved, if possible to
crush the union altogether, by means
