NO.40 li fe' Newspapers Reach All Consumers All The Time An advertiser wanted to find out for himself what medium reached the class of people he sought as customers. He sent out this inquiry to a selected list: If you had to dis card all publications you tre reading—except one—what would you keep? The answer in each case was- “Our weekly newspaper—-the of ficial organ. Every man, woman and child in America who can read at all is a newspaper reader. The home which the news paper does not enter is a rar ity. Such a home is hardly a trade prospect. N ewspaper readers look up on the PROGRESS as their . trusted friend and are guided by its opinions. They seek its advertising columns for information at the time they are prepared to buy f and the advertiser comes . to them properly introduced.. .« Newspaper advertising creates a' . direct and immediate demand. This is why the retail dealer is enthusiastic over advertised products. The re tailer knows that the manufacturers' . advertising will send customers to his store the day it appears and he push es newspaper advertised goods be cause it pays him. The PROGRESS is in direct line •from production to demand. It pays full returns and pays them without ;any long waiting. Begin your advertising campaign in the PROGRESS now. > ’SKiS flev. J. A.

The Truth About Hair Tonics The other dav a whimsical sort of chap said: “If I could have one wish granted it would be this—to have my whiskers on top of my head and be bald on my face and neck.” Rather a good idea, that. And now you will know we are going to say something about, hair ton ics. - But we’ll not say whai you expect us to. Any man who believes there u a remedy on earth that willgrow hair on polished sculp is going to b i disappointed. What we clairri for Penslar Hair Tonic is that it is a mighty good thing to save the hair that is left. It stops dandruff—keeps it away if you keep vour scalp clean and don’t reinfect it by us ing a comb or brush that is teem ing with dandruff germs, Stopping the dandruff genet ally means slopping the loss of hair.
