Mr., MERCHANT;:

! Now is the time to begin your fall advertls-
inc campaign and if you wish to reach the best !
class of people in Pickens county, The PlcKens
! Sentinefis the medium to use.
The Pickens Sentinel has guaranteed PAID J
in-adyance circulation of more than 1000 papers
| weekly. the bulk of which go to buying families
J in Pickens county, which means that the adVef-
tiser who has something worth while to say to {
the people of this region can do it with the mini
mum of effort and expense through the columns
of the Sentinel.
Bv using other mediums part OF the buyers
! in this territory can be reached; by using no !
other medium than The Sentinel can practically
all of these buyers be reached.
When The Sentinel sells advertising space it
sells circulation-and it delivers the goods
! Pickens county has larger per cent OF
white population and less per cent Of law-break-
inc citizens than any county in South Carolina,
according to records. This is the class OF people
among whom the Sentinel circulates.
The Sentinel will use every possible and
legitimate means to make advertisements IN this
paper profitable to both advertisers and readers
Our advertising rates are reasonable, and II
advertisers desire it will be glad to assist
them in preparing copy for their ads.
The right kind of advertising builds business.
