Does More-Costs Less!

Times-Republican Advertising is the Article
Referred to. Mig lightly few other products can
offer the same plea in these days Of war profits.
Calculations have grown faster than advertis-
ing charges and you pay less today to talk to
one thousand people than you did ten
years ago.
Even with rate increases, necessltated by the
prohibitive prices Of white paper, newspaper
advertising is cheaper and more productive
than ever
Times-Republican advertising is paying better
because our readers have learned to look to it
for their market place. Truthful advertising
has become the merchants slogan, the readers
protection. Let the Times Republican be
the mirror to reflect your business into the
