Sec-Treas. Algona (South of Penneys) (Preferably call Monday or Wednesdays) MUmb.r lend In Advertising, Does The Best Job? OR i Bessie Jones GENERALLY SPEAKING, advertisers follow one of TWO methods of advertising. THEY USE A SCATTERGUN type of approach. A dribble goes here, a dribble there; first it is one thing, then another; the outside salesman finds a bonanza here in his gimmicks; and at the end of the year she advertiser finds he has snent a considerable sum, yet has divided his efforts into so many small units that a really potent impact has been entirely missing. THEY USE A CANNON! There is planning ahead, a preparation for the expenditure of advertising funds that lays a proper foundation.

This advertiser uses a tried and true advertising medium he chiefly uses his newspaper and with sufficient space to command the attention that his advertising message deserves. This advertiser probably spends less in total than the Scattergun advertiser, yet he obtains far better and more consistent results. Of course there may be some that do little or no advertising, but in today's competitive merchandising field they are fewer and fewer. i One business man stepped into a location in Algona over 20 years ago, a location where two preceding businesses of the same type had bean forced to close their doors. He decided to use newspaper advertising consistently, and from the opening day HE DID.

The first day he took in $37. BUT IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS HE HAS OT FAILED TO HAVE AN AD IN HIS LOCAL NEWSPAPER EACH WEEK. He did not use the Scattergun method; HE USED THE CANNON, and jt has been most successful. birth For The impact of The Cannon In Your Advertising Message, Your Newspaper Is The Answer!
