Our Apologies to
The Singer Man

The Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany representative has run a couple
Of small display advertisements in
The Western News. telling of his
trip to the Libby Community for
service work. In spite of the fact
that these advertisements have APP
peared on Troy and Eureka pag9s
in The Western News, the service
man has been as. he states, literally
swamped with calls for his service
by Libby folks who read the ad-
vertisment in The Western News
and have called to have him ser
vice their machines.
The lesson is, if you have some
thing, either service or goods that
the public wishes, don't advertise It
in The Western News unless you
really wish to get results and many
calls.
And speaking of coverage: The
Western News has 1917 coVerage
Of Lincoln County-if it wished to
do a bit of Dragging. Maybe il
should be explained that the extra
one per cent comes from folk who
buy extra copies of the newspaper
so several members of the family
can read it at the same time. Last
week in addition TO the regular
heavy subscription list. there We're
1865 copies of the issue sold either
over the counter or through the
local news stands This is not an
unusually heavy sale for the news
paper just about average
But again speaking Of coVerage
and advertising appeal, even The
Western News does not expect ad
vcrtisers to get great results in Its
columns if they advertise heavy,
red wooden underwear when the
thermometer is lowering between
80 and 100 DEGREES in the shade.
