THE LOW COST OF
ADVERTISING SPACE

Few advertising men know that ad-
vertising space in newspapers Is by far
the most economical way to reach III,
consumer. II is fact and the only rea-
son that advertising was ever created
was because wise and shrwed business
men learned that they could buy white
space in publications at a minimum cost
ana because Of the message they would
put into that space could make profit
on the transaction and make the ad-
vertising a real live investment in pro-
auction of sales and good will.
In these days Of high cost OF whit
paper and printing the advertiser couls
not print a full page advertisement and
buy the white paper az tho small cost
that the newspaper charges him for
the complete page delivered into the
home by invitation. That Is 10 say. the
readers of this newspaper buy paper
because they want Co read 1t and be-
cause they know they get more for
their money at or cents than any
thing else they could buy at that price
That Is what makes the advertising so
valuable to the advertiser, provided they
have the right message. the right Illus.
u0tion and the right merchandising
plan back OF The advertising.
Newspaper advertising is by far the
most economical method to reach the
consumer.
