They are reaching out and as a result their out-of-town patronage has increased wonderfully during the past few ..months. The Elgin Courier has been chosen ^as their magnet to draw in the out-of- f town people. The' Courier now has a ?); correspondent in every small town •" -within a radius of twenty-five miles obtaining her ^ • that city. These correspondents send ^ in all the way from three to live news 4 letters each week, with the result that the paper has added hundreds of names to their country list. Elgin business men believe in adver­ tising and that they take every advan­ tage of printers' ink no one who has seen and read a late issue of the Courier printed in that city can deny. That the advertising is bringing Ifo-A.:.'. them big returns is quite evident.

We positively know that hundreds of ' £ - dollars have gone to Elgin out of this jgf^village. 5 >-§ ' • Now the question is this: Will Mc- ft,,: • Henry business men stand aside and see the local* trade go to Elgin or are , they going to start the ball a-rolling to p; >. keep those dollars in this village? ff'/* Over at the county seat the business men have been wise to the situation mfih $or some time and as a result they are meeting their Elgin brothers face to £.v" ,f*ce- They have inaugurated special || r j ^ales of all sorts and flooded the entire ,«ounty with their advertising litera- ture. Their special sales, we are told, &'#'.imve proven big successes. At the present time the entire county is flood- y. ed with advertising matter announcing a big three-day Thanksgiving sale, ,,V which begins next Monday and will it* continue for three days. jjtp This big event will no doubt take more dollars out of McHenry. The if* Plaindealer believes the business men ; of McHenry to be just as wide-awake ii v*': and ^terprising as those of Woodstock : • • and Elgin and we suggest that they illv get busy in an endeavor to bold the >*K. trade which rightfully belongs to them 1^7, her® 1)1 McHenry.
