Method Does The Best Job? s-c-a-t-t-e-1-g-u-n OR CANNON 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 the advertiser finds he has spent 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 deserves.

This advertiser probably spends less in total than the Scattergun advertiser, yet he message 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 fower. One business man stepped into a location in Algona over 20 years ago, a location where two businesses of the same type had bean forced to close their doors. He decided to use preceding advertising consistently, and from the opening day HE DID. The first day he took newspaper In $37, BUT IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS HE HAS NOT FAILED TO HAVE AN AD IN HIS LOCAL NEWSPAPER EACH WEEK.

He did not use the Scattergun method; HE USED THE CANNON, and it has been most successful. For The Impact of The Cannon In Your Advertising Message, Your Newspaper Is The Answer! (REACHING OVER 5,000 AREA FAMILIES EACH ISSUE).
