rHE bulk tea, raisins and crackers in the old-
time grocery store have been superseded by
sanitary packaged goods backed by the good name
of their maker. The sliced, wrapped loaf of bread
and the can of soup or fruit have eliminated hours of
kitchen drudgery. Modern bathrooms, furnaces, and
electric appliances, have swept away inefficient,
laborious methods. The motor car has revolution
ized our way of life. o
Advertising has played a part in these advances,
because advertising has made mass production pos
sible, and mass production has brought the can of
goup, the electric washer and the motor car within
every family’s reach.
This newspaper looks on its display and classified
advertising as an important part of its service to
the community.
