Newspaper Advertising
There are three elements
that receive the direct benefits
of newspaper advertising; viz:
the paper and the reader.
The advertiser, by the pro-
per distribution of printers ink
places his business before the
purchasing public, The ad-
vertisement, if properly writ-
teu and displayed, secures at-
tention, arouses interest and
promotes desire. The desire
developes into demand aud is
eventually converted into sales
The sale is the merchants ul-
timate proclivity.
The newspaper is the only
element entering into transac-
tion that performs a direct
service, and it is likewise the
only component directly com-
pensated for the service ren-
dered.
The reader, like the adver-
tiser, receives his remunera-
tion in the final transaction,
which is conducted over the
counter.
Misses Benrice and Eunice
Starling of Forest, were up
shopping last Saturday.
