BI.AIJ EXCEL O10 I~ : .,~E ADVERTISING IN LOCAL. PRESSI Speaking of the value of advertis- ing in local newspapers, Mr. Starr of New York City, in a recent address 'ji St. Thomas, asserted emphatially that local paper advertisers get bet- ter results than advertisers in larg- er cities. "I have no hesitation"', he said, "in saying that the advertise- ments in the amaller papers today have far more 'pull' than they had a few years ago. Certainly a paper in a good town gives better resuits to its local advertisers than a paper in a metropolitan city. One reason for this is that the people in the towns read their paper from front to back, because it contains so much that is of time to read the paper than the district interest, and they have more dwellers in the cities. There are too rnany distractions in the big places for people to do more than pick up the paper and look it over. Dollar for dollar, an advertiser gets more for his advertising in a smaîll Ical paper than the advertiaser in ai city paper"'.
