This is where Downers Grove imsinem people have the edge on Chicago stores and on the thou sands of mail order houses whose catalogs flood the homes of local buyers. We know this to be true. You people in busi- ness here know it to be true. Butâ€"how man of the BUYERS of the village know it? True, t ere are more now than at this time last year and the proportion will be vastly increased by this time next year if Downers Grove business men and women will awake to the only way in which this truth can he brought before the public. How? The answer is simpleâ€"ADVERTISE! Most retailers spend a great deal of time in buying, in the arrangement of their merchandise. in the fixing of their window displays, and in hun- dreds of other ways, but they forget that all this work is lost if after it is done they Just sit back and wait for customers to come to them. The modern way, the only way, is to go out after them. And this can be done in onl one wa . By ADVERTISING IN A PAPER WH CH IS R AD BY THOSE WHO WOULD NATURALLY BE CUSTOMERS. SUCH A PAPER IS THE REPORTER. It is our firm belief that the business people of Downers Grove can and do sell merchandise which. when quality and price are taken into consideration. com are more than favorabl ' with the offerings of the aijge Chicago stores an with that of the mail Most people who have buying to do buy where they can get the best quality at the lowest price. They also take into consideration the reputation of the firm with whom they are dealing. That’s why advertising in a Community paper is worth vastly more than in either a catalog or the daily press. A Community paper, like The Repor- ter. is printed for the people of one comparatively nl‘del‘ Houses. Most people read the daily papers for the news of world events that they contain, they also read the advertisments in these pa rs, not so much in towns and cities away from C icago as in the city. A mail order catalog has nothing of interest except the descriptions of goods and the prices, it is, there- fore. harder to get people to read one of these. for Those Who Do - and Those Who Should - ' Advertise in The Reporter In the normal year Downers Grove people spend thousands of dollars for food, clothing and other necessities of life. They will spend other thousands for semi-necessities and for luxuries. l’eo le of Downers Grove MUST eat if they ex- pect to ive. In the natural course of events they must buy clothing; they must replace their cooking utensils, their crockery, their dishes, their bed clothes, their garden tools and thousands of other things when they wear out, are damaged or lost. WHERE WILL THEY SPEND ALI. THIS MONEY? That’s what we want to talk about.

Most retailers are poor advertisers. not so much we believe because they do not value the printed word but because they do not put enough thought on the preparation of their copv. They do not y enough attention to this, one of the mmt vital ac- tors m every great business success. étofes. There is no one foolish enou h to question the statement that there is a go] en flood of money leaving this community every month to the mail or- der houses scattered nil over the count ' and to the large d mrtment stores of Chico o. hat has di- verted t is flood from its natura resting place in the stores of this community? There is but one answer and that isâ€"ADVER’I‘ISING! By advertising we do not mean a spasmodic ef- fort. a once-in-a-while appeal to the bu era. a hit or miss plan, but consistent. business ml ing. real ad- vertising where week after week 2 fact that the people of Downers Grove should buy at home is the central theme. Not because they make their home here but because they can buy here better than thru a mail order house or in the department stores. To overcome this factor we are subscribing to an advertising service which cannot but help local dealers. Contained in the service are suggested ads. 3 little copy and many cuts. This is but one way we will try to put over the 1921 advertising of Downers Grove merchants. Another is that we are at the service of local business people at any time to help them in their advertising problems. If you are one of the merchants who want to advertise and don't know how to go about it, let us know and we will call and explain our plans. world. What local merchants are faced with is the pro- blem of winning back at least a small part of this vanished lat-tines“. Again there is but one answer and again this answer iSâ€"ADVERTISING! The REPORTER is read every week by more than THREE THOUSAND people in and around Downers Grove. It prints more NEWS than any two other papers in the county. Both the adverâ€" tisments and the news are displayed in a way which make them easy to read and the entire paper is fundamentally correct mechanically. This is prov- en by the fact that durin the past six months tradr' m azines with nationa circulations have prin litt e stories praising The Reporter. It is read people who are natural customers of Downers Gro small district. Like a mirror it reflects the life of that community; the daily.
