ty of securing valuable dealer tie-in adj
vcrtising.
6. Newspaper advertising helps the
sales force by stressing the fact that adj
vertising is being done locally.
Retailers starting a new promotion
would find the above list appropriate to
their requirements. They probably
would add several other advantages of
using the newspaper as an Introductory
media = such as quality of audience
reached, saturation of the local comrnu-
nifty, and cost per dollar return.
Since the newspaper is almost always
accorded the toughest job in advertising
in the Introductory phases of selling, is
its value similarly recognized in routine
selling?
Answer: Yes. The newspaper still has
no close competitor in day to day re-
tail selling. 1t is still far ahead of the field
in routine national advertising. = SST.

The manufacturer of a new electric

2. Newspapers allow a company to

to eat. It's hard work, but to
the lady who takes pride in

The hardest meals for most
housewives to prepare are
those just before the festive

full of company, and SO much
to do to get ready for Christ

calm, and have everything
reauy before the young folks
are home from college, before
the children who are far away
come in with their young ia
miles, with Nom and Pop.

jar of home made mayOnnai-

plenty of potato salad, seve-
raj loaves of bread, and of
course, a big pot of oyster
stew for Christmas Eve. Ana
you will be well prepared.
