66 There are many lines of publicity
that the country store can use to
advantage, but the one he can use to
best advantage is his home-town
. Paper. I venture to say that if the
money spent each year for fancy cal-
endars and other knick-knack give-
aways were invested (I say invested,
not spent or donated) in carefully
planned newspaper publicity, the ac-
tual net returns to the advertiser
would be ten times as great, to say
nothing of the advantage the small-
town paper would derive from the

additional and much needed revenue.”

Conference held at Ellensburg, Wash,, in August,

ington, merchant and is said by many to be the
. Most successful country merchant in the state. ]
