In Lonca* -shire especially, where the prevention of publication of the newHpapent waa more com plete than in other parts of the ' country, the greatly diminish ed market crowds was dear evidence of the effect of tho abaence of the newspapers. The head of a large firm of Illackpocl drapers wrote, ‘The printers’ strike has proved the greatest blow to general trade in all my business experience. When advertisements don't appear, people don’t bay,” adding that ‘*This ntrike has wholly vindicated the news- papers ss advertising media and it shows that press no tices are the best investment . to drapers and other shop keepers.” When Ads Don't Appear People Don't Buy.
