WHY, OF COURSE
You Read It in an Ad in the
VALLEY FRONTIERSMAN
Oniy d° your merchant (and us) a favor, won't you, and tell him where you saw
the bargain advertised that caught your eye. y
Your merchant wants to know if he is getting value received for his advertising
dollar. He has no way of knowing if his advertising is attracting readers, if you
flon t tell him so. 1
And we want him to know it. loo. We don't feel that advertising is a graft—we
h°neitly e*?eci' w£en. we sell an ad, that the merchant is going to benefit by that
fhe kiSde'o}ia*l0tlf»?USm^*S !° k6-1 a" ad' bul it s also our business to sell him
the kind of ad that s going to bring him more business so we can sell him a bigger
ad next month. It s only as our advertisers prosper that we can grow. too.
So, remember, the next time you shop, tell your merchant:
'I saw your ad in the Valley Frontiersman'
