Why People Buy from
the Stores that
Advertise
You have often heard people ask
this question: "Why is it I never strike a har
gain like you do?" That person is not a
wide-awake nor careful buyer and does not
read the advertisements.
When a Business Man pays
money to make a public announcement, he usually has something worth while
to offer something that is to your advantage to know- He has a money-saving
sale, a new assortment of styles or extraordinary values of some kind to
tell you about.
To take advantage of. these opportunities you
must get at the meat of the newspaper its
advertisements.
THE ALLIANCE HERALD is a better advertising medium by reason of the
fact that its circulation is more than that of any other two papers in the
,county.
