Local Paper The Best Advertising
Medium.

It is an established fa ct that the
local newspaper is the most infus
entail institution in any commu.i.
| ty. Whyi Because it Is nearest
the people. The farmer reads his
local paper faithfully from cover
to cover. 1t is his library. That
is why the local paper, the coun-
try weekly, is thes the bsst adver-
tising medium.
Farmers heretofore have not ad.
vertised much, but they could do so
to an advantage. Men in busi-
ness far less competitive than
farming find it profitable to adver.
tise. OF course there are many
staple farm products which could
not be advertised proatably. But
there are others which would pay
we'll as a result Of systematic ad.
vertising according to M. n. Beel.

Many products 90 to waste
which could be sold if the consum.

Livestock, poultry and poultry
products. butter, milk, wood,
fruits, vegetables, homo cured
meats, canned. goods, feed corn,

and q hundred other things lend
themselves to advertising. The
local paper goes to ev.ry corner
of the county and to various sec.
! tions of adjoining counties, This
is the range of territory in which
profitable marketing can be dohe

adyertises such produce as that

locality. The home paper III the
