The Value of advertising in rural weeklies is
being more thoroughly realized by the big manu-
facturers In a recent address the general sales
manager of the General Motors Company stated
that the company was increasing their automobile
advertising appropriation each year and that they
were going into the country newspapers on larger
scale because experience had taught them the larg
est percentage of prospective purchasers of cars
lived within the radius served by the rural weekies
A short time ago J. C. Penney head of the tremend-
GUS organization which bears his name paid this
tribute to the efficacy of advertising in the rura
weeklies:
And now we have come to time when
the smallest newspapers in the country are
looked upon as necessary in the complete
rounding out of newspaper advertising
campaign. Newspaper readers have al
ways looked upon the papers as messengers
which carry local facts.
Every town with newspaper affords
sufficient local news to make the local pap
er important regardless of the overlapping
circulation of the larger papers in that
community. It gets closer reading. 1t
is looked upon to carry the story of the
local merchant or of the national estab-
lishment serving the local public through
local concerns"
