COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS GIVE GOOD RESULTS.

At a meeting of the American Advertisers' Asosciation, Arthur Brisbane said: —Not the country publisher but the business man is the chief' sufferer from the fact that our merchants and manufacturers have not utilised the country newspapers' advertising columns as they should and can be ut:ir/ | edi. Remember these raots: He who reads the little crossroads newspaper and the larger newspapers of the fairsized towns is a man who buys ercr > thing, He lives in a house and on the Land that he owns. He is interested in everything the business men aio doing. Through good advertising you oan sell him anything from the rwint on the roof of his house to the cement on the floor of his cellar. Everyth'ng between the roof and the cell ir, everything in the barn, andi every tool in the field he buys and you may sell him. He is not like the dweller in the big oity flat who gets His water through a Ripe, his light through a wire, his heat from the basement, and whose shopping consists in getting a readymade suit of clothes and a retnly-madt dinner in a box or tin. i'he man who reads the country newspaper buys everything. He buys pumps, lamps, stoves, automobiles, clothing, dtresses, books, paints, farm implements, furniture, carpets, oils. In this room are 250 men and individuals. Some of them represent a dozen manufacturing enterprises and more. There is'nt a man who has anything to sell that he cannot sell to the reader of a country newspaper. And every man here could more profitably advertise in a country newspaper in proportion to its circulation , than In , any other publication on earth. I emphasize the value of the coutry newspaper as an advertising medium for it has that value."
