The Advertising Story Of
INDIANS. and BUFFALOES

No American History would be com.
plete without the thrilling tales of
Indians and Buffaloes; for many years
they roamed the wide prairies together;
finally civilization caught up with them
and they disappeared. but not entirely.
To commemorate those important parts
in history, the Indian today finds his
head on our pennies and the Buffalo on
our nickels; together they still roam =.
in the interests of small advertisers and
together they do grand job
Atthe counter, in the front office of The
Star, any day or any time, you ,viH see
that little classified ads, vhich cost only
pennies and nickels to buy, are bringing
dollars in return. The Indians and
Buffaloes come out of small advertisers
pockets and then chase dollar bills back
to take their places. Just one question
asked of the many small advertisers uho
DO run small ads consistently in The
Stars columns, telling people their
names. ,chere they are and hou they
can serve the public, wW prove that
little ads .. . produce BIG results. Al.
though small advertisers in WASHINGTON
may haze forgotten about the prairies.
they uiN tell you quickly that to get
business and to keep business going ..
little copper Indians and little nickel
Bufaloes still "cover lot of ground"
oOhen INFESTED in Star advertising.

bring an Evening Star representative

a part-cash, part-note basis would

was transferred Meanwhile, the
old management will conduct the
school for the corporation, which
will be responsible for income and
expenditures made. No important
changes are contemplated in the
administration, tuition rates or
faculty under the new regime.
Tome explained, adding that the
institution will continue its policy
of giving free tuition to certain
county students recommended by
the management of the Port De-
post Town School, the free branch
of the Jacob Tome Foundation.
Tome. at one time one of the most
exclusive Eastern preparatory
schools, fell into hard times during
the depression and for years has
been showing annual deficits which
made its continued operation by
the foundation a bad business ven
ture, Tome explained. Under the
new setup, he predicted, the school
would be launched on a new era of
prosperity and progress.
