National Advertisers, Awake!
(By G.. w. Morrison)

National Advertisers are awaken
ing to the fact that the newspapers
OF the country are the best medium>
in which to advertise and reach tine
average American in his home in the
riost forceful an convincing man
ner.
A country newspaper has great in
tluence with local people for many
niles around the town and county in
which it circulateS. The editor, and
all the staff, live in the neighborhood
They know everyhods by their first
names. There is 'eal deep feeling
among the readers II the paper that
it is "their very own
They discuss it contents at home
and over the counter at the store.
They believe in it. The retail dealer
stocks big shelves with the goods the
advertiser is creating the local de-
mand for. Householders, knowing
their paper is trustworthy, promptly
buy and when satisfied, tell their
neighobrs and friends. The particu-
lar qualities of a new brand soon be-
come we'll known by all.
The National Advertisers now rec
ognize that sixty millions of pros
porous Americans(5s 2I10 per- cent.
of the population of the United
States) are today living in towns OF
5000 and less and on the farms.
They read the local newspaper. They
think in American terms, they eat
American foods, they wear Amerl-
can clothing. They are the buyers OF
great nation and they do business
in the American way-the National
Advertisers way. Their requirements
fit in with the existing selling organ
ization that went to do business with
Americans.
These sixty million people buy
boots and patent-leathers, farm trac-
tors and tooth paste. They buy paint
for their homes and cement for their
cellars. Seventy per cent. OF the au-
tomobiles are sold in the country.
They buy up-to-date clothing pianos'
farm implements, chewing gum' type
writer's, cigarettes, soap, taking
machines furniture, pancake nour'
glassware, breakfast foods, raincoats
everything the National Advertls-
er has to sell that enters into LIE.

town newspapers. They will say there
is no influence so powerful and no
argument so effective to place mer-
chandise on the dealers shelves and
move it off the shelves as an adver-
tising campaign in the dealers local

The country newspaper is the
"cash-in" medium.
AS an advertising medium that
goes into every home, that is read by
children, the future market, as well
as adult, the present market; that is
an invited messenger; that has no
waste circulation, that covers the
dealers own vicinity, the country
newspaper offers the only intensive
advertising cultivation Of country
America.
